Gilbert Peak from Warm Lake. The summit is the pyramid in the right background. The ridge leading across the photo can be run almost the whole way to the summit on a nice goat trail. (2016-07-17). Photo by Zak Griffith. Click here for larger-size photo.

Milo at Warm Lake during sunrise. Gilbert summit is the knob at top/center-right. Snow-free route follows ridge the entire way sometimes switching sides for the first mile, then stays above or beside the two snow fields top/center-left,up through a stand of small trees, then around the SSW trending summit ridge (2022-09-21). Photo by Erik Levy.

The easiest most efficient way to access the Klickton Ridge begins on an obvious path between those 2 trees dead center of the photo just past the lake. Go up the short gray sand/rock/scree area beyond those 2 trees, across a flat basin area and up directly up the rock/scree heading for the middle of the lighter green patch of heather you see center. There is a well defined path there (2022-09-21). Photo by Erik Levy. Click here for larger-size photo.

Final scramble. Nothing more than easy class 3 and that is the last few steps (2022-09-21). Photo by Erik Levy. Click here for larger-size photo.

Best ways for dogs. Much easier earlier in the summer when there is a nice ramp of snow (2022-09-21). Photo by Erik Levy. Click here for larger-size photo.
