approach & ascent

Sherpani Peak (6,520 ft)

10.0 miles round trip, 3,800 feet of elevation gain, difficulty: strenuous 4, technical 4

Hike the Paddy-Go-Easy Trail until it makes its turn into the draw leading to the pass (~5,700 ft). Leave the trail and make a level northwesterly traverse, staying on forested slopes below talus fields. Turn right into the drainage heading to the 6,120 ft pass southeast of Point 6564.  A miner’s track leads to tailings and a caved-in mine entrance below the pass.  From the pass traverse the basin to the southeast of Point 6564, cross its east ridge, then traverse the next basin to attain the pass between Point 6564 and Sherpani Peak.  Reach Sherpani Peak's east ridge by a sloping shelf and follow it to the summit rocks. Circle the summit block counterclockwise and approach the summit from the northeast through a large keyhole. There is one final more difficult move to get on top of the summit block. There is a tradition of calling the peak Coffin Peak because of its characteristic rock at the summit.
