While Sherpa Peak may not look like much when seen from it's massive neighbor Mt. Stuart, Sherpa is still a fine climb. (Think of Little Tahoma Peak next to Mt. Rainier.) The South Face is the easiest route on Sherpa, with some 4th class rock moves. For a slightly more ambitious route, try the West Ridge, with 400 feet of so of 5th class rock. Being east of the Cascade crest, this area is often drier than peaks further west.
