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 o f) 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. W il l ia m T h o m a s ,
