| RyanS | Route Climbed: Forbes Route Date Climbed: March 24, 2005  | |
| This was my first roped climb. What a beauty of peak for that landmark in my short career of peakbagging! I contend that the approach from the Indian reservation is the more scenic. Despite the incredible views of Babo from the Thomas Canyon approach, I don't see how it can top the views of the amazing cliffs of Baboquivari Canyon and the other spectacular ridges that reach from the range crest into the Babo Valley. This is a very special place, highly recommended!! A trip report is available here. | |

| Andinistaloco | Route Climbed: SE Arete Date Climbed: 1997? | |
| One of my favorite climbs... great rock and even better exposure. Some 5-6 pitches of 5.6 or so... I would recommend descending the Forbes route after climbing this; you'll probably only have to rap once. Just get off the summit early or you'll never find the way down! | |

| asmrz | Route Climbed: SouthEast Arete from Lion's Ledge Date Climbed: April 5th 2003 | |
| Robert Somoano, Penelope May and I climbed the classic SE Arete of Babo on April 5th 2003. Had a great time climbing the 4 1/2 pitches (we had 60 m ropes) and scrambled up the rest. We decided to rap the route, a distinct mistake as it took us almost 5 hours to do so. The strong, cold wind from the south, didn't help. Fortunately, the ropes got stuck only once. We would recommend the route but not the rap. Try the Forbes route down instead. | |

| Great mountain. We only saw 2 other people and they turned back halfway up the trail. | |

| Very nice peak! West side approach much longer than East although the Baboquivari Park campground is well maintained as is the trail. From campsite to peak is approx. 4 1/2 Miles with an elevation gain of 4,400'. This is a fee area to avoid stay on East side (B.L.M.) pay attention not to stray on nearby private land. | ||

| Beautiful day after freak March snowstorm, climbing with Rick and Jim. Rapped down the north side over frozen "waterfalls". Spent the night on an unplanned bivuac gazing at Haley's Comet. Found fourth class descent next morning and wandered back to camp at the saddle by Mundo Perdido. | |
