Report

The standard route up Escapula Peak starts from Forest Route 9N19 at a pullout southeast of the peak and loosely follows a reclaimed dirt road to the summit. I was coming from Antimony Peak, so I parked instead at a westerly pullout and headed up a southwest spur, joining the main ridge after about a quarter mile of cross country travel.
