Fremont Peak. The usual route on Fremont Peak starts from a high col on the southwest buttress which separates the drainage of the lakes below (west of) Indian Pass from that of the main Titcomb Valley. Several hundred feet east of this col is a prominent orange colored nose of granite. The face immediately to the left (west) of this nose was first ascended on August 8 by John Hooper and Steve McKinney. The first two pitches were class 4. These were followed by three class 5 pitches (5.6, 5.3, and 5.7, respectively) over mantels and overhangs in the back of a V-shaped crack system. Two long class 4 pitches led to easier scrambling and the summit crest. NCCS classification: III, 7. Another new route was placed on Fremont Peak on August 8 by Jerry Hooper and Milo Prodanovich. They climbed a ridge just to the left of the prominent snow couloir on the south face. It was class 4 throughout. NCCS classification: II, 3.
