Climbing history
On July 7th, 1960, Stanley Shepard completed a first ascent of Trident Peak as part of Bill Buckingham's expedition to the Cirque of the Unclimbables. Buckingham described the peak as "a little metamorphic peak of reddish slate lying on the ridge between Sir James MacBrien and Crescent Peak". Two days later, on July 11th, Buckingham and the rest of the party also climbed the mountain by following Shepard's route.[2]
