Elevation: 7515′

This peak is described in 106 Tops In The Angeles Forest on page 106. This peak is the highest bump along Kratka Ridge that runs from Angeles Crest Highway at Mile Marker 62.50 to the saddle leading up to Mt. Waterman

Hikes:

1. I hiked Kratka Ridge (a lot of x-country scrambling) to the highest bump  (Kratka Ridge) from the Vista Day Use Area. I then continued along Kratka Ridge to the Mt. Waterman Trail and took that up to Mt. Waterman. On the way back I took the Mt. Waterman Trail down to the saddle that joins Kratka Ridge and followed the ridge a short way to a dirt road that let out across from the exit of Buckhorn Campground. I followed Angeles Crest Highway back to the Vista Day Use Area: 9.5 Miles, 2270′ of gain and loss. First Hike: 9-4-2016.
2. I hiked the PCT from mile marker 62.50 to Eagles Roost and continued following Kratka Ridge (a lot of x-country scrambling) to the highest bump that forms this peak. I then continued along Kratka Ridge to the Mt. Waterman Trail and took that up to Mt. Waterman. On the way back I took the Mt. Waterman Trail down to the saddle that joins Kratka Ridge and followed the ridge a short way to a dirt road that let out across from the exit of Buckhorn Campground. I followed Angeles Crest Highway back to Eagles Roost and took the PCT back to mile marker 62.50: 13.2 Miles, 3250′ of gain and loss. First Hike: 5-1-2015
