| Moogie737 | Several times, various routes  Date Climbed: May 2, 2008 | |
| Today was my fourth time climbing to this peak. Today was a snowshoe affair with Mt. Baldy thrown in for good measure. Started from the Peruvian Express lift. Earlier in this winter we climbed the west Snowbird ridge, hit Am. Fork Twins and then went to the peak for a tram ride down. Climbing ascents #5 & 6 on 8-5 and 8-6-08, one from AF Twins and the other via the Peruvian Gulch trail. Been here so many times as part of ridge runs. #10(?)+ 7-20-10 From Snowbird Center. Of course, took the tram down! :) #11 2-22-12 Snowshoed from the Activities Ctr on the Peruvian side of the resort. 40mph winds along the route - lucky to catch the tram down. #12 5-22-12 After Mt. Baldy; took the north ridge route down. Nice consolidated snow on which to tromp. #13 & #14 7-10 and 7-12-12. The tenth w/ Brent as part of Bullion Divide from Red Baldy, the the 12th with Heavyweight Bob B., my old Air Farce chum. From Iron Blosam Lodge via Peruvian Gulch and Ridge Trails. #15 7-23-12 Led portion of CFA group up via Ridge Trail from Snowbird Centre in 1+30. Just beat a mountain downpour of gigantic proportions! #16 Solo 8-20-12 A "just for fun" sprint from entry 2 parking slot to add on to another hike which was aborted due to a fellow hiker's injured calf. | |

| seanpeckham | Obvious Peak Date Climbed: Sep 8, 2007 | |
| I have been there many times on skis and once with a bike, but I didn't feel good about signing the log until I had gotten there without the tram. Did it as part of the Bullion Divide. | |

| Bignick | Most summited peak in the USA? Date Climbed: Oct 6, 2001 | |
| I really don't consider this a peak in the sence of a worthwhile destination regarding a hike or climb. It was just there between Baldy and AF Twins. I'm certain more poeple have stood on its summit than any other peak in Utah, or possibly even the Western US, maybe even all the US. Climbed again June 11, 07 and it did happen to be a worthwhile destination. Hiked 3000' vertical mainly off trail up thru Gad Valley. Solitude and outstanding views of many peaks I've summited was the reward for the grunt. Took the ridge trail down for a nice loop half day hike. | |

| dillweed | Re: Most summited peak in the USA? | |
| Bignick - other people will consider it a worthwhile destination. There are many different kinds of folks on SP. Besides, if someone like me wants to create a mountain page, what mountain can I do it with? Almost all the mountains near my home already have pages. | |

| soccerman | Route: On the road from snowbird Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2006 | |
| An easy hike with a road going all the way to the top. Even easier on the tram | |

| Tracy | several times in one day Date Climbed: Apr 11, 1979 | |
| Took the tram to the top several times in one day during a Spring Break ski trip with Brett Latimer and Bret Coulter. Rode the tram again on August 4th, 2007 and hiked up American Fork Twin Peaks and back. | |

| Matthew Van Horn | Kept it honest Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2006 | |
| Yes, I have taken the tram up to Hidden Peak, but I can also say I climbed it via Albion Basin & Peruvian Gulch (off trail). | |

| J Anderson | Felt like cheating Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2006 | |
| It almost feels like cheating to have an accessable bathroom with running water and flushing toilets. Hit this one up again on an early morning trip with Matt, Dan and Brent just before moving my butt to Italy. | |

| madsjim | Easy | |
| I have been on top several times skiing and taking the tram up to go hiking. I don't think it is worth climbing unless you actually go on to climb the Twins at the same time. I was there in Aug of 2006 and the sound of backhoes and trucks building a tunnel in Peruvian Gulch kind of made me mad. | |

| PellucidWombat | Yet Another Bump on the Hill | |
| Climbed various times on the Bullion Divide and climbs on the American Fork Twin Peaks. I last climbed it in June 2006, where I reached the summit in 1hr10min from the Snowbird Lodge via Gad Valley. | |

| belexes | Gad Valley Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2002 | |
| I was planning to climb American Forks Twin Peaks via Gad Valley, but I took a wrong turn and wound up on the Twin Peaks/Hidden Peak knife edge. I wussed out there, but salvaged the hike somewhat by heading over to Hidden Peak, and then on to Baldy. From there I took Peruvian Gulch back down. The weather was nice and sunny, but there was some haze in the air from wildfires off to the east. | |

| dillweed | hiked over from AF canyon Date Climbed: Aug 15, 1998 | |
| backpacked at Pittsburgh Lake, scrambled up the ridge descending south from Sugarloaf, followed the Bullion Divide over Baldy and onto Hidden Peak. Talked the Tram operator to letting us ride down for free. Hitch-hiked down the canyon and caught a bus home. Awesome little trip. | |

| JLarsen | Bullion Divide Date Climbed: Jul 28, 2005 | |
| Just did this as part of the bullion divide. I was able to use the restroom and fill up on water. It was kinda sad to see this peak invaded by society. | |
