Description

The Lemhi Range frames perfectly in SE Idaho from Diamond Peak to Saddle Mountain. This ridge has 15 peaks above 10,000 feet along the main crest of the range and makes for some stunning ridge running and scrambling. The route had no documentation of having ever been done. Following the main crest the route starts with Diamond Peak traversing over The Riddler, Big Boy Peak, Shoshone John Peak, Black and White Peak, Little Diamond Peak, Swanson Peak, Marshals Mount, White Bird Peak, Dome Peak, Shril Benchmark, Striped Peak, Tyler Peak, Mt Hoopes, Great Western Peak, and Saddle Mountain.
