| Nice morning workout with some great views. Worth the short, steep effort. | |

| jdmorehouse | Not much of a mountain Date Climbed: Oct 15, 2000 | |
| An afternoon hike. Never again, though. The views of Lake Mead was OK, but the other side was just mucky Las Vegas. | |

| philadendron | Great views, steep road Date Climbed: May 26, 2012 | |
| Had this one on my list for awhile. Steepest dirt road I've ever seen. Tough uphill, but not long, and the views are great. | |

| jtellis | Nice midday hike Date Climbed: Oct 6, 2011 | |
| Nice quick up-and-down the road in about 2 hours -- had to hustle since a massive storm swept over downtown Vegas as I was approaching the summit. Way too much trash up there; good views, though, and a very different kind of mountain than I am accustomed to hiking. | |

| surgent | Summit Road grunt Date Climbed: Jan 7, 2011 | |
| Finally got around to hiking Frenchman, which is just a few miles from my parents' home in Henderson. Followed the road because I was very curious to see just how steep that road was! Hike itself was easy, a good workout, with clouds and a cool wind. Visited both summits, although I chose not to break the law and shimmy inside the northern fence. Views are spectacular. | |

| NJTripper | That's a tough road! Date Climbed: Oct 5, 2008 | |
| Had a couple hours to kill while waiting for my wife to fly into Vegas. The 'access' road is probably the steepest lose gravel path ever called a road... A real ankle twister if you are not careful! But the view of Vegas at dusk is impressive... | |

| Vasler | Temple to top Date Climbed: Sep 7, 2008 | |
| This is the first mountain I climbed when I moved to Las Vegas. I approached from the Mormon Temple, the West, and a slim trail quickly turned into class 3 bouldering. Great quality of rock for the climb. Great view from atop. I went down, up to the Northern peak, then down the North side using a loose and dusty jeep path. I recommend approaching from the West and looking over the Eastern edge at the South end of the peak. | |

| I originally planned to run this, but after getting up the first section and scoping the next "UP", it became more of a hike :) | ||

| Hiked the road and did the chain link fence belay to get to the high point. Visited both summits and the north one is definitely higher. | |

| recast | Hot Evening Hike Date Climbed: Jun 25, 2009 | |
| I took my friend and his girlfriend up the mountain to watch the sunset over Vegas then the city lights turn on. The hike up is very ugly and tons of trash all over, but the views of Vegas at night were just spectacular. The first half of the hike was quite hot since it was around 104 out but the wind on the second half cooled things down nicely. | |

| Dean | Access road Date Climbed: Apr 21, 2009 | |
| Steep road but fantastic views on a clear LV day. Did both summits on top ridge, each with a tower set up but did stop short of trespassing inside the fence on the north one. At the fence on its highest spot, I was just a few feet shy of the true highpoint. | |

| lasvegaswraith | VIEW Date Climbed: Apr 5, 2009 | |
| Despite the lack of scenery on the way up and the repeater stations at the top, this may be the best view of Las Vegas, outside of a helicopter. Fantastic 360. | |
