6/15/2025 Route: West Slopes from Missouri Gulch Posted On: 6/15/2025, By: mikemalick Info: Completely snow-free including over to Mt Belford afterwards. Any snow you might see along the ridge to Belford can be completely avoided. Pics below show heading up Pecks as well as traverse over to Belford. |

11/10/2024 Route: NW Slope Posted On: 11/10/2024, By: man_of_nature Info: No avy concern on route. Wore snowshoes from 10.3k to a bit above treeline. After that it was some miserable post holing and trapdoors galore. Road to TH was fine, doable in Outback, warmer weather melting out road fast when I left. Ridge to Belford looked like more of the same post holing. Ridge between Belford/Oxford looked pretty clear. |

10/7/2024 Route: Belford-> N Ridge Posted On: 10/7/2024, By: nathanolds146 Info: I went down from Belford and off the west slope which sucked. Back up to Belford and down the trail mightve been better. |

6/11/2023 Route: West Slopes from Missouri Gulch Posted On: 6/12/2023, By: supranihilest Info: Some snow in the gulch to treeline, but well packed. Not a problem even at 1pm when I descended. Above treeline the route is steep but snow free and easy, just tundra and avoidable talus. This peak would make a super quick and easy jaunt just by itself. |

2/12/2022 Route: West Slopes Posted On: 2/13/2022, By: daway8 Info: Went up the West Slopes, turning off shortly before the Belford/Missouri trail split, just past the restoration area. Slopes were pretty windblown - some spots totally dry, some with snow between the rocks, a few small snowfields but currently nothing big enough to be any avy danger. Traction might be desired due to small spots of ice. |

6/12/2021 Route: Ridge from Belford Posted On: 6/13/2021, By: bryanpeck3 Info: All snow is avoidable, not that there is much of a path to follow but rather just following the ridge. |

11/2/2020 Route: Belfords North Ridge Posted On: 11/2/2020, By: CaptainSuburbia Info: Descended from Belford and snow is mostly avoidable. This was my second trip to Pecks. The first time I descended it's North ridge and that was very unpleasant. This time I descended the west slope to the Missouri Gulch trail. It was slightly better. Very steep and a mix of grass and scree with very little snow. |

6/23/2018 Route: From Belford Posted On: 6/24/2018, By: CaptainSuburbia Info: All snow is avoidable from Belford to Pecks and down to Missouri trail. Make sure you go down Pecks west flank from summit to get back to trail. If you continue down Pecks north ridge you will not find a good exit and regret it.
