From the summit of Antimony Peak, follow the north-northwest ridge keeping to the right of the small bump just west of the summit of Antimony. The route from this point onward can be extremely brushy.
Follow the ridge down to saddle 5520'+, then over major bump 6000'+, down to another saddle 5037' and then north up the ridge to about 5400'.
From here go west to pick up Route 1 at about 5600', which proceeds as follows:
An occasionally ducked route leads up through the cliffs. The summit is reached immediately after ascending a ramp that passes the final large buttress on its right side.
