South gully to East Ord Mountain; north ridge to Peak 6010 at end.
Highlights
- Peak 6010 is a remote peak north from East Ord Mountain. It can be reached by scrambling down and up over a rough ridge to the north of the saddle just west of East Ord's summit, and it is the rocky mound at the north end of that ridge. From the saddle, it is roughly a 2 mile r/t with some class 2, and maybe even class 3 in spots as the ridge has rocky outcrops along it.
- It may not have a lot of prominence above its connecting ridge, but it is a awesome cross-country adventure to reach as a bonus peak after Scrambling up East Ord Mountain.

Before I made it to my cross-country route, I had to leave the road and bypass a rogue feral bull as to not upset him. He stared me down as I stayed 200' minimum away along the wash that parallels the road. I then rejoined the road when I felt it was safe and followed it to my ccross-country departure. I had made a class 2 gully climb northbound up, with much boulder hopping and some very minor bushwhacking (small, gentle twiggy shrubs) to a saddle to the west of East Ord Mountain's 6,168' summit block, scrambled up the block and signed in at the register. The summit block looks really intimidating, but careful planning will find a path of least resistance and a class-2 climb! On East Ord's summit, I then had my eye to the north at the end of the ridge that radiates from East Ord Mountain's north side. I scrambled down from East Ord's high point, and headed north by northwest down a little and tried to sidehill the outcr..." — brianpowell • Mar 9, 2019
