9/9/2018 Route: Traverse from Fourmile TH to Sheridan Posted On: 9/9/2018, By: supranihilest Info: Peerless doesn't really need a report by itself, but going from Peerless to Sheridan you'll drop off the ever-narrowing ridge prior to its conclusion. There's a semi-obvious trail much of the way. You could probably hike all the way along the north ridge if you wanted but it gets narrower and there are more jagged fins of rock as you go along; the north slope is pretty steep and loose. |

6/9/2018 Route: South Slopes Posted On: 6/10/2018, By: sdicenso Info: Went up from the saddle with Horseshoe. Dry from the saddle up. Some snowfields to negotiate on the old mining roads beneath there. Used traction one one snowfield. Dropped beneath one that was icy to a lower road. Summer conditions. |

7/17/2015 Route: South Slopes Posted On: 7/17/2015, By: JasonKline Info: The White Ridge/Sherman/Sheridan/Peerless/Horseshoe/Finnback loop still has some snow along the route, but it can all be avoided easily. |

5/30/2015 Route: South Slopes Posted On: 5/31/2015, By: fakejox Info: We climbed Horseshoe Mtn (via the Boudoir--cf. CR from 30 May 2015) and traversed to Peerless. Snow was crusty on the approach and windswept on the saddle--no snowshoes required before 10 AM. After glissading into the basin, we started postholing in soft snow and were thankful that we hauled up our snowshoes. Road snowed in to about 1.25 miles before Leavick. |

11/3/2012 Route: West side Posted On: 11/4/2012, By: jonandmalia Info: Hiked to and up side of the Amphitheater. On way, crossed creek a few times, but you can pick your place. Ice on creek crossings was thin enough to break through, so stick to sides where possible. Snow in small patches, about mid-shin deep. Trail is good all the way back to amphitheater. When ascending amphitheater, trail gets faint in a few places, but keep looking ahead and you‘ll be able to pick it up. Views at top are awesome. We brought gaiters and spikes, but didn‘t need them. Being new to this area, didn‘t realize (but it makes total sense) that there is hunting in the area. We were dressed in bright colors and didn‘t see any hunters until back near trailhead. We took our Jeep to the treeline so we were fully exposed whole hike except few times navigating willows (real short). Will do a little extra research on the areas open for hunting next time :-) ! Great day though, even though it was below zero with the wind chill! |
