Climbing Treasure Peak’s Northwest Ridge was such a great half-day objective. The hiking was pleasant, the views spectacular, and the summit climb was engaging and fun. We snuck this in during thunderstorm season, so we got a pre-dawn start. But that wouldn’t be necessary if the weather is good.
This peak is a part of the Bishop skyline. If you spend enough time here, eventually you’ll want to climb this picturesque peak. The East Arete of Mount Humphreys is considered a classic route for those inclined to rock climbing. It’s a big day with a lot of elevation gain and ridge climbing. I enjoyed the climb, and found it to be a full day’s effort of mountain climbing.
