Description
**13,720 ft (4,182 m)**
This fantastic rock peak dominates Little Lakes Valley and has at least four high-quality routes to its name. Another High Sierra prerequisite summit.
Getting There
From 395 at Tom's Place drive west to Mosquito Flats. Hike along Little Lakes Valley trail to Long Lake, then follow a faint trail up to either Treasure Lakes or before reaching those lakes cut left and up to the desolate Dade Lake (4.25 miles, 1,300 feet of elevation gain).
Alternatively you can follow the Morgan Pass Trail and cut off onto the Gem Lakes approach, which some people think is easier. Skirt around the south end of Gem Lake, then head west to the crest of the ridge and follow it to Dade Lake. This avoids the endless talus hopping.
