Hiked the cross-country route with MJ and Hillel. It was short in miles but made up for it with steep terrain, water crossings, snow fields, bush whacking, scree, loose talus, bouldering, and mosquitoes. This peak is my sixteenth Ogul Peak and left its mark with sunburn, scratches, and bug bites! We took a dirt road up from Hwy 88. From there, we took an offshoot of the road, crossed a creek, continued along the road for just a minute longer, then started walking up the creek. From there we bushwhacked up to where snow started covering the drainage. We stayed on the west (left) side of the drainage, in the trees and snow, until the snow over the drainage looked firm and flat enough to cross safely. We then crossed over to the east side of the drainage and walked up toward the peak. The scree was tiring, but then we got into talus. After some sturdy talus we encountered some icky loose scree/talus mix. That was close to my limit, I did not want to go sliding down with a bunch of rocks. Hillel scouted ahead, and the rocks got stable again. We were able to scramble up (class 2 / maybe easy class 3) to the summit. Signed the register, ate snacks, took pics, and then headed down the more popular route toward Red Lake Peak instead of trying to move down the loose rock. Once we got to the saddle we glissaded down the snow, then eventually met back up with the route we took up. Mosquitoes were out in full force by then. Fun day!
