"Tomboy Peak"

Route: Imogene Pass
Posted On: 7/10/2025, By: JasonKline
Info: Starting from the northern terminus of the Imogene Pass Road near Yankee Boy Basin (aka as far as my Hyundai Ioniq could go since the Imogene Pass Road was right out), this route combined https://www.listsofjohn.com/tr?Id=12296&pkid=472 and https://www.listsofjohn.com/tr?Id=19976&pkid=724 to do a loop of Hayden South->Richmond->T8->T7->Chicago->Tomboy. The route is basically in summer conditions. Most of the remaining snow is avoidable. The only places where I stepped on snow were (1) on the Richmond Road around 11,700' on the way up to Hayden South and (2) around 12,500' between Richmond and T8, and both crossings were inconsequential. If you can drive up to where the Richmond Road leaves the Imogene Pass Road, you can save some distance and elevation. 

Route: From Chicago Peak

Info: The ridge between Chicago and "Tomboy" is straightforward. Nothing really notable except how loose everything is, typical Sneffels Range scree and talus at the Class 2/Class 2+ level. The broken slabs near "Tomboy"'s summit are the coolest part of this peak. I returned to Chicago Peak and Imogene Pass Road. Don't make the mistake I did and take CR 361 down to Camp Bird Mine if you parked at the start of CR 26A (aka Imogene Pass Road). It's an easy mistake to make if you're descending in the dark like I was. 

Route: From Tomboy Town

Info: Tomboy is in prime couloir condition. I did not attempt this route today, but had a good look at it. Attaching a pic taken from the ghost town of Tomboy, the first summit on the left is Tomboy peak. You can see the continuous snow in the middle of the pic to the saddle. Having done this route in summer, the current conditions will allow for a really good travel and avoid the talus fest. Oh and please take some papers and maybe a bigger container for the summit register, the last one when I was there in summer was small and was out of papers. Imogene pass is totally covered in snow and will require mandatory ice axe and crampons, you can take a few colouirs to T7 if you wanted that have good coverage to the ridge.
