| Fireman79 | No more false summits! Date Climbed: Jun 20, 2007 | |
| Snow bowl route was nice. It was a long hike and t- shirt weather on top. False summits got a bit old but enjoyed it. Arizona gave us an A+ sunset that evening. | |

| 96avs01 | Perfect Winter Ascent Date Climbed: Jan 17, 2009 | |
| Ascended Humphreys with Mike, Mark and Rick. Three of us had splitboards and one slowshoer. Weather on top was amazing, low 40s with very minimal wind. Had the summit all to ourselves with great views of the GC North Rim. Splitboard descent was very challenging in highly variable conditions. A phenomenal trip to the top of AZ! | |

| highlandvillager | Fun despite the weather Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2008 | |
| We left camp at the Grand Canyon before sunrise and got on the trail just after 8, hoping to avoid afternoon storms. We encountered a little rain and lots of wind and clouds, even a bit of sleet on the summit. There was no view due to the clouds. We heard some thunder on the way down the ridge, but it never got close. It was a fun hike and we met lots of nice people along the way and enjoyed great beer at a brewpub in Flagstaff afterward.

| I really dig Flagstaff/Sedona... mellow half-day hike... spent an hour on the summit... interesting views... red rock navajo nation, north rim of the grand canyon, endless yellow pine country... the volcanic area feels like oregon... brought cody on a leash the whole way | |

| Joseph Bullough | Long day Date Climbed: Sep 26, 2008 | |
| Climbed after driving down from Salt Lake, which made for a long day. Heard some ominous thunder early in the climb, but things cleared up pretty nicely by the time we reached timberline. | |

| Outdooraholic | Sooo Windy Date Climbed: Sep 22, 2008 | |
| My second state high point! Good hike through thick woods for most of the way, I saw several elk and deer. Once I got out of the trees and into the rocks the wind really picked up and by the time I was nearing the summit it was so windy I couldn't even stand. I made it to the summit by running and ducking behind rocks and holding on to my hat. 5 hours round trip. | |

| Dundeel | Rising Arizona Date Climbed: Sep 10, 2008 | |
| Hiked up with a great group of Highpointers from all over the US. Wind picked up to 50 or 60 mph on the summit. Had to walk crab style facing the wind. | |

| nebben | Hoar frost n'shorts Date Climbed: Oct 17, 2007 | |
| Moogie737 and I made it to the top after starting from the ski trailhead near sunrise. Nice trail, beautiful colors, cool temps, and some hoar frost. I was underprepared [I had planned for Phoenix weather] and was only saved by the hair on my legs! What a beautiful mountain! | |

| gbrill | snowbowl Date Climbed: May 4, 2004 | |
| Attempted the peak in late spring but didn't realize that their would still be snow at the top. Decided that without crampons it would be to dangerous. | |

| Redwic | Great Hike!!! Date Climbed: Aug 16, 2008 | |
| First person to summit that morning, and first one down... No thunderstorms encountered above treeline, although some could be seen in the distance and three very minor hailstorms quickly passed while traversing the false summits. Some parts of the trail were a little rockier or steeper than I originally imagined, but overall this is a great trail, good workout, and very scenic hike!!! Highly recommended!!! State Highpoint #32!!! | |

| oldadit | hitched a ride | |
| Back in '69 we hitched a ride on the ski lift. More legitimate ascents were in 8-16-1991 when we hiked Molly up in a child carrier, and 9-4-1999 when the whole family hiked up. | |

| TLP | very nice mountain Date Climbed: Jun 23, 2008 | |
| Met a dude from Flagstaff right before I started out, and he asked to hike with me, so I said sure. He climbed the mountain many times before. There was still a bit of snow left for June. It really was a perfect day. No wind, it wasn't cold, clear skies, not crowded, and snow for scenery. I really liked this mountain. Flagstaff is a nice mountain town. I'm glad I went. | |

| pommace | need more O2! Date Climbed: Jun 17, 2008 | |
| first time that high. being a flatlander, i spent the previous night in Flag at 7k feet. didn't help. locals were drifting by me like i was carrying a lead ball. wicked windy on the ridge, but not impossible. still some snow drifts on the Humphrey's trail in spots, but no problem, and melting quickly. all in all, awesome. | ||

| Clark_Griswold | So many times Date Climbed: Sep 9, 2006 | |
| I made 81 summits from several routes in under 5 years. I've summited in all seasons, with my favorite being winter, and in all types of conditions: during the day, during full moons at night, in Calm winds and 100 MPH+ winds that knocked me over while crawling, with visibility that was upwards of 200 miles, and less than 50 feet, in fog and snow, and in clear blue bird conditions. Sure, I repeat it a lot, but it's close by and its a great peak. The date recorded was my first summit. | |
