I've always loved the first glimpse of the Sawtooth Peaks as I drive into the valley, and McGown Peak serves as a majestic cornerstone to the range. Many of the routes in the Sawtooth's tend to be on the longer, more extreme side, so I decided to create one that was a bit more "tame" while also hitting some of the highlights of the range. That being said, this route is no cakewalk, and should only be undertaken by someone with strong ankles and a willingness to push hard on technical climbs and descents!
