There are numerous ways to reach the summit area of Point 7170 (7,170' is the height of the true summit, which is located about 300 feet to the north-northwest of where this benchmark is set). I recommend parking at either N42 36.895 W107 11.220 or N42 36.810 W107 12.130. Based on my route from the former parking area, the summit requires easy Class 3 scrambling to reach (there are at least two routes with limited exposure and solid rock to follow based on what I saw). The benchmark itself is set at a highpoint to the south-southeast of the true summit; it is surrounded by a rock cairn, a couple splintery pieces of wood, and some rusted wire.
