| PrinceOfNorway | Into the storm  Date Climbed: Apr 1, 2012 | |
| Me and a buddy climbed this on April Fool's Day just as it was starting to storm. The road was closed so we had to tack on an additional 4 miles to our round trip. It was probably 0 to 10 degrees on top with fierce wind chill considered. There were a few inches of new snow on the car when we got back. Super fun! | |

| Came up North Walker and enjoyed a spectacular day on the summit. The elevation gain seemed to fly by on this peak, and the summit was an ideal spot for lounging around. | ||

| Tracy | North Walker Canyon Rt. Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2009 | |
| Beautiful Day and I thought I kept thinking I'd run into the other party parked at the bottom of North Walker Canyon. The only signs of them were their footprints and their signatures in the summit register. Never saw the three individuals however. The outing was not bad for an impulse hike on my way north to Provo - 3 hrs., 10 mins. up and down (in Chaco sandals). | |

| ericwillhite | Don't forget Buck Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2009 | |
| After the Fool I traversed west and scrambled up Buck Peak. Buck is a fun little peak. Saw several people come up from the north, Buck Hollow. That way could be quicker now that cars are blocked in North Walker Canyon at the 6582 elevation point on USGS maps.

| Great hike. Very good views from the summit. The top was a little chilly with a breeze. The cliff on the east face is very cool. | |

| Bombchaser | Southwest Ridge Approach Date Climbed: Oct 12, 2008 | |
| The ridge starts near the mouth of the Walker Canyon on the east side, and climbs very quickly. This was a very difficult and at times dangerous, and technical climb. There are many boulders and cliff faces to negotiate. There is even a couloir that I had to haul my pack up using a rope after I reached the top of it. There are areas of dense vegetation as well. This route took about six hours to reach summit and then descend using the North Walker Canyon Trail. I would only try this route if you are an accomplished hiker on difficult terrian, or a climber. You will be using your hands a lot! | |

| mountaingazelle | Route Climbed: North Walker Canyon Date Climbed: November 12, 2005 Date Climbed: Nov 12, 2005 | |
| I had driven past this peak so many times and decided it was time to climb it. I hoped that the latest storm didn't put too much new snow up there. The trail started out as a road and then gradually turned into a trail. When I got to the saddle it was windy and cold. The summit was a lot farther away than it looked. But the clouds eventually went away and the weather was good. I could even see Swasey and Notch Peak in the House Range. The cliff down the east face was awesome. | |
