Description

Windy, not as popular as many of the other peaks in the range, perhaps because of the lack of paved access. There is a 4x4 road that starts up Provo Canyon, near the Squaw Peak lookout, and runs south to the left fork of Hobble Creek Canyon. Camp in a safe location(avalanche) and summit in the dark, catch the sunrise and head back down before the snow gets soft. Avoid gullies, couliors, cornices, and large blank sections without trees.

Getting There

Access can be gained by either Rock canyon or Slide Canyon. Rock canyon is less steep. You could also forgo the hiking approach and come up the 4x4 road(see description).
