- Description:
- This was a long day hike for Chuck and myself. The elevation
gain was more than it needed to be as a result of some poor route
finding, backtracking, etc. etc. etc.. The final section of the
northwest face of the Devil's Bedstead (East) has approximately 1,000'
of sustained class 3 scrambling to the summit.

Devil's Bedstead East
from very early in the hike. Chuck climbing in the steep
gully you use to access the peak on the northwest face. A view of the route from
the trailhead to the saddle between the Devil's Bedstead and Point
10942. My summit photo with Old
Hyndman to the left and Hyndman peaking over the mountain just to the
left of me. This is a shot up the gully
that leads to the northeast ridge above the false summit. Chuck is
the small marron dot in the middle coming down. The class 3/4 crux of the
hike that can either be climbed or avoided by moving out onto the
northwest face and climbing the gulley. The point in the center of
the photo is the false summit. The route from the unnamed
lake to the the saddle at 10,600'. Devil's Bedstead East
from Trail Creek Road on the drive home. A picture of the Lost River
Range from Borah to Lost River Peak taken from the summit.
