| harbor | Utah CoHP #7  Date Climbed: Oct 22, 2011 | |
| Parked 1.4 miles from the end of the road. Lots of hunters all over the place. Lucky for me the sweater I brought was bright orange. Great fall afternoon hike. Was sad to see the horrible conditions of the summit area due to over-sheeping. Also did So. Tent earlier that morning. | |

| DarrenKnezek | Last of 8 in a day Co. HP Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2011 | |
| Started this with three hours left in the 24 hours of a day. My climbing partner was super sick and we made it to the summit and back down to the car in three hours. The trail was easy to find and awesome the entire way. | ||

| awilk7 | Bushwack Date Climbed: Jul 18, 2009 | |
| Worked cross-country straight up the slope from the end of the dirt road to the main ridge, then south along the ridge to the summit. On the way down, tried to head further north along the main ridge to find the remnants of a jeep trail that shows on topo maps. Did not find the jeep trail. Bushwhacked downhill, swinging to the west and then south again back to the car. Lots of low vegetation and downed trees in the forest. | ||

| chicagotransplant | Crandall Canyon Date Climbed: Sep 9, 2010 | |
| Bushwhacked up from Crandall Canyon mine parking area, some parts of the bushwhack got a little thick but closer to the summit it was a really nice hike. I was unaware of the mine accident in 2007, a very nice memorial is set up for the fallen miners. | |

| Pfeiffer75 | Easy Hike Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2010 | |
| The road north of Indian Creek CG is open. I spoke to the forest service in Price and they informed me that they close the road early in the season to prevent further rutting. They usually open the road when it is dry. The road is severely rutted, but passable in a high clearance 4WD on the day I drove it. At the end of the road, there is a fence with a gate that can be opened. Once crossing the gate, follow the trail the entire way to the summit. Nice views to the west | |

| remmiw | Great Hike! Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2010 | |
| Hiked with a friend I made through geocaching. Came across a nice group of deer. Trail from just North of Indian Creek Campground is not the best marked in places but easy enough to follow with GPS. | |

| Moogie737 | No trail is indeed correct Date Climbed: Aug 22, 2009 | |
| Utah County highpoint number two for the day. Came down from the Wasatch Plateau Skyline Drive after doing South Tent Mtn and found the road very passable but also dust chocked. The bushwhack along the wooden rail fence and then up the steep grade was nothing if not demanding. The deadfall is treacherous, and it's in stark contrast to the open, flat summit terrain. Found only a triangulation marker at the summit. | |

| madsjim | Do once kind of mountain. Date Climbed: Jul 14, 2007 | |
| After being shut out in May due to road closures, I went back with a shortcut and climbed it. I followed a trail for a ways but then just left it and went straight up to the summit. The summit smelled like a farm because a flock of sheep had recently been on the summit, even found a dead sheep practically on top of the benchmark. The road closure mentioned in my mind is bogus. There was a huge herd of cattle tearing up the meadows that were supposedly closed to motor vehicle access "due to the damage done by motor vehicles". Looked to me that cow pies and hoof marks were the real culprits. | |
