Ascent Trip ReportAccessed from col with Silver Peak to north. Simply followed ridge line back up to summit ridge, which is wide and sandy..seemingly broad enough to land a small plane! Reached register box and summit rock pile at north end of ridge, though true summit is disputed with small pile of rocks a short distance farther north and slightly east. Summit register similar to Silver in date and entries. Three Pete Yamata entries found. Exited to the north, descending from summit through trees NW of summit, and circling east to find ridge with Tells Peak. Faint use trails occasionally found.
