Description

Babcock Peak (and its three sub peaks) separates Tomahawk Basin from Boren Creek Basin on the West side of the La Platas. Babcock Peak is a difficult climb and a rope and gear is recommended on some routes. This is in the San Juans, so loose rock is mandatory.

Getting There

Your can get to Babcock Peak either by driving up Tomahawk basin, parking at the mine and hiking to the end of the basin where you will find gullies leading to the top (unconfirmed). Or, drive up Boren Creek on an old mining road (take a left immediately after you cross Boren Creek). The road is horrible, so drive until you come to a small creek crossing the road and park there, walk the road until you reach the basin. 1-2 hours approach time.
