Description

I loved this peak. The mountain is a nice day climb and has one of the best views I have ever seen. The peak's summit sits on a thousand or so foot cliff, (probally bigger). Near the summit sits a diving board shaped rock that hangs over the cliff side. It's a rush to walk out on that rock. The storms roll into the Beartooth Mountains around 1:00 or 2:00 p.m. so I would'nt linger around the summit to long. A techinical route can be climbed from Frosty lake on the north west side of the mountain.
