"Took another route up that was more direct. Good Class 3 rock climbing on parts of the ascent. The descent route was very direct and easy. Spent a few minutes showing Scott the slot sections of Fletcher Canyon and one of the routes that will take you up to the North Loop Trail." — Heartattackbruce • Aug 23, 2022

"Went up the SE ridge line and exited down into Fletcher Canyon. After the peak, I walked the ridge line towards Cockscomb for about a third of a mile before exiting down a gully into Fletcher Canyon. I saw a more direct route that descends a very steep gully that runs off the NW side of the peak. I looked at the bottom of that route and there is an opening in the walls in the canyon that you can get through and into Fletcher Canyon. Will try this next time.

"8.23.21~ Fletcher Jr. 1.7 miles, 1,400’ gain, 1:55hrs RT. I took the direct South ridge from the lot. It had a fair amount of bushwhacking but I never found it overwhelming…but I have a high tolerance for crappy terrain. Lots of spider webs to the face. I didn’t find any sign people take this route up. No cairns. It’s probably because it looks impossible to get through. There is a longer route, mostly trail and more scenic via Stanley B Springs and a class 4 route from Fletcher Canyon but if I’m going to do class 4 climbing, it’s going to be for something more rewarding than this lump. This peak doesn’t get many visitors. It had very unique views. https://youtube.com/shorts/erZ1hRyfjFI?feature=share" — paula.raimondi • Aug 23, 2021

"Saw this from Cockscomb & thought "what the heck". Hiked out the ridge below Cockscomb. Was pleasant most of the way, but a bit brushy toward the top. Didn't know the name of it til I saw the register." — StudioHoodoo • Aug 26, 2018

"Ed told me about a 'fun' class 3-4 route up the SE Ridge from the Fletcher Canyon Trailhead, so we thought we'd give it a go. There was a good amount of brush along the way up, but nothing we couldn't easily go around. Once we reached the rocky ridge, the climbing was pretty fun. There was one pretty exposed class 4 climb before topping out at the top of the rocky cliffs. From there, the hike along the ridgeline to the summit was quite brushy. The group decided that we didn't want to descend the same way, so we were going to follow the ridge to the head of Stanley B Springs Canyon, then descend there and walk along the road. For some reason, we decided to be crazy people and descended south, straight down the mountain. The terrain was extremely loose and the bushwacking was unbearable. We made it, but not before decorating the trees and plants with a little bit of blood. Once we reached the road, I jogged 3/4 mile back to the car. I guess the craziness of our descent route made my brain stop working. lol!" — Kevin • Jul 16, 2017
