"Ephraim Roberts and I were looking for a suitable ascent with the on again / off again spring conditions of 2026, and we stumbled on this objective that is mid-way between Mount Burns and Bluerock Mountain. We utilized the same access trail for Bluerock Mountain from the Junction Creek trailhead that parallels Bluerock Creek.

We side-hilled for about 2.5 km across a scree slope over a couple of ribs coming off Bluerock Mountain, using faint sheep trails until we dropped into the Bluerock Creek drainage. We scouted out a few options to get to the beginning of the southeast rib of Burnrock Peak that leads up to the east/west summit ridge leading to the Burnrock Peak summit - we chose to go through light trees in the burn.
