| Park at the Gorman
Lake trailhead, 892877 and follow a well-defined trail to Gorman Lake,
described in Golden
Hikes.
Hike around the lake, the south shore is quickest and continue into the
draw veering climber's right. Aim for the south ridge, 857881 which
leads to the top of the south summit, 854890. Cliffs impede the way to
the true summit. |

Zombie Peak behind me. |
| Scramble:
Nice summer day and
straightforward scramble up a local peak we called Bilbo because it
reminds us of our glossy black cat in the sphinx position. We later
found out through Bivouac the real name of this mountain. The south
ridge is blocky but offers little difficulty. Unfortunately, the true
summit was unattainable. |
