This is a Boise-area hidden gem. Not too strenuous, 99% clear of snow by mid April, great views nearly the entire way, hardly anyone else out here... probably because its a 2 hour drive from the closest town. A tough 2 hour drive. I snagged the unnamed Peak 5587, which also has substantial views and is a fun little climb up. I chose the nasty, idiotic way down through the bush. Wouldn't be a classic Rob mountain climb if I didn't.
Summit register at the top goes back a number of years. It's not a frequently visited peak. I might be the first person to summit in 2020.
