7/13/2024 Route: From harvard Posted On: 7/13/2024, By: ericahlstedt Info: Definitely worth the traverse over from Harvard if you like scrambling. Easy descent on relatively stable talus and grassy ramps to the NE. Staying ridge direct from Harvard goes class 4 over the towers in the middle, but you can also keep it class 3 just side hilling on grass/talus to the left of the towers. |

6/7/2020 Route: From Mount Harvard Posted On: 6/7/2020, By: supranihilest Info: This peak looks intimidating and goes at Class 4 staying high on the ridge. The route is Class 2 until under the first point, which is not the summit. It can be scrambled around on the left (Horn Fork Basin side) on some ledges. There's a bunch of Class 3 and some Class 4, including some hairy down climbs. The rock is mostly stable but test your holds regardless. You can scramble up the first point if you want but it's kind of pointless. Once around the first point the route drops to loose Class 2+. The final summit pitch from the saddle is a screefest but not hard. We descended back to the saddle (north, not south like Roach describes) then took a traversy route back towards Harvard on steep mostly grassy slopes. From there we went back to the Harvard Trail and down to North Cottonwood Creek Trailhead. The trail still has a lot of snow and water on it. |
