This Trail is an extension of the trail leading to Mt. Pelops.
From the Sandspit campsite at Lake Lovely Water: there is a trail running up the left side of the creek that drains the Niobe-Omega Basin into Lake Lovelywater.
From the Basin there is a trail which leads from the right side of the creek under a prominent gray rock band to a corner.
This route is difficult to discern, by ascending the snowfield, and picking your way through rock ramps and slab, the snowfield that leads to the Iota-Pelops Col can be regained.
