Peak 7400, Francis' Summit Trip Reports

Elevation Gain: 7,389m
Distance: 80km
Total Time: 12 days
Date: June 30th to July 12th, 2025

From the col of Peak 6600 and Peak 7400, Andrea and I could see an easy scramble up to the summit. We were now through the technical crux of the trip and had just Peak 7400 to climb over before the next best part of the trip would begin! Beyond Peak 7400 laid the two unclimbed summits we had our eyes on since the beginning of the trip. With phenomenal weather still abound, we’d finally have a chance to go climb them.

Wasting no time, we scrambled along the broad ridge north and then reached the steepening slopes of Peak 7400. We found a tame 3rd class rib up along a couloir, and then bypassed the entrance on some snow up to easier rock. There was only another 200m of 3rd class scrambling on wonderful rock before we reached the summit. A plan was quickly hatched to ditch our heavy gear in favour of day packs for our ridge line traverse west. We’d come back after to collect our gear and head down the col just north.

I believe this is Thumb Peak to the east

Looking west with “Elasmo Peak” center which we’d go climb after and “Spiracle Peak” to the right on the ridge

Salient Mountain continued to capture my imagination

Sharks Teeth Peak as more and more impressive from afar

This lone tree among the talus caught my eye

“Hindsight Mountain” to the north. We’d camp at the slopes below later in the evening

“Tipso Peak” to the north west. Unclimbed as we’d later find out. We paid it a visit during a rather harrowing rain storm

Looking towards “Elasmo Peak”. Unclimbed and our primary goal for this leg of the traverse

“Spiracle Peak” which is slightly taller than Peak 7400 and also unclimbed

After a quick snack break, we grabbed our day packs and scrambled down more fun 3rd class terrain to the col between Peak 7400 and “Spiracle Peak“. Thus began an interesting afternoon of ridge rambling!
