Follow the common old exploration-road approach to the saddle north of the gas well, then take the short southwestern ridge along the animal path. The route leaves the last trees for open alpine with views over the former Bullmoose Mine. Return to the same saddle; this short branch does not reach the main Mount Spieker summit east of the saddle.

Getting there & parking
Drive north from Tumbler Ridge on Highway 29 for approximately 8.8 km and turn onto Wolverine Forest Service Road. At road kilometre 12.2, turn right onto Perry Creek Road and follow it past the mine. Take the right branch at kilometre 10.2, left at kilometre 12 and right again at kilometre 13.7, continuing to the large gas-well clearing at the end. This is an industrial-road approach with mine and possible logging traffic; follow current signs, radio requirements and any access restrictions around the well.
