Mount Bross is the easternmost peak of the Decalibron loop. Its summit is on private mining-claim land and the actual high point is typically closed to public access — most climbers stop at the published 'closed area' boundary just below the summit.

Standard Route

From the Mount Lincoln summit, traverse the broad ridge southeast to Bross. The total Decalibron loop including Bross is 7.5 miles round trip from Kite Lake.

What to Expect

Check current access status before assuming you can stand on Bross's actual summit. Most years the mining claim owner does not permit access to the high point, but the standard route gets close enough to count for most climbers' purposes.
