Trip report
Mar 4, 2020 — I drove out on good dirt roads to the trailhead, stopping as it became more rocky than I was comfortable. Some may need to start earlier, and others can likely drive farther. I continued on foot on the eroding road and then dropped left into a wash that ran east toward the base of Ireteba Peaks. I left this wash to instead ascend via a slopey ridge to the north rather than having to deal with progressively steepeing terrain later. There were some minor bumps along this east-heading ridge where I lost and regained some vertical gain, and I also encountered a couple of easy Class 2 sections.
The ridge led me to the main Ireteba Peaks ridge crest, where I turned south to the high point. Along the way, some more Class 2 boulders that added some fun, and a short Class 2+ couple of moves brought me to the summit. Nice views to the east of the Colorado River. If you're looking for a longer outing, check out this traverse of the Ireteba Peaks as an alternative to this route which I thought was over too quickly.
