This is the easiest way to reach the summit. There is some loose rock higher up and decent exposure. Just stay on the ridge line.

South Ridge

Southeast Face

A cleaner route to the top than the South Ridge. Starting from the saddle, make a couple of traversing moves to the right (the crux such as it is) before settling into climbing up the shallow trough.

Third Peak is the third High Horn counting from the South, after the Wedge and Lost Peak. It appears to be second for a time when approaching from the east. The summit is by far the most aesthetic of any of the Organ Peaks being a narrow blade of rock going east to west. After climbing up either of the routes, to get to the summit, you will need to move along this razor edge. It's solid enough to be just plain fun with a much larger and steeper drop to the north.
