Peak L Rock Climbing

Peak L is a premier scramble peak in the Gore. The summit is distinct, scenic, and memorable.

The SE ridge route (class 4) is well documented and is typically accessed from Upper Slate Lake. Generally, 2-4 days are allocated for the approach, climb, and return, though daytrips are possible for the fit and also from the Brush Creek TH.

The Gore Thumb traverse (5.0) consists of Peak L's north ridge, the Gore Thumb, Guyselman, Peak N, and Peak O. The route weaves around and over gendarmes, with easiest passage usually on the west side. The route is typically done as a daytrip from the Brush Creek TH. Either climb L from Upper Slate, or gain the traverse via Guyselman's E Ridge and out-and-back L.
