| Great scenery! Too short on water, so we had to turn back just short of the peak. | |

| DesertAdventures | Route Climbed: Gunsight Notch Peak traverse to Juniper Peak Date Climbed: April 25, 05  | |
| Hiked up Gunsight Notch to Gunsight Notch Peak and did 4th class downclimb and then traversed over to Juniper Peak. Weather was all over from warm n humid to hail, rain and wind! Very few do this route and there is a rappel (webbing looks trashed) to make it safer if your uncomfortable w/ downclimbing 4th class route I found. | ||

| Excellent moderate route! Can get great views of Crimson Crysalis from top of P2 and P3 on Geronimo. We took an extra rope for rappeling, but there seemed to be some new anchors put up so that one could finish the rappel with a single rope. | |

| Climbed with cp0915 on a beautiful morning. Fun little scramble near the top. First time climbing/hiking in Red Rocks. Beautiful place and will return again. | |

| It doesn't get much better than this--climbing an enjoyable route on Christmas Eve and having the place entirely to yourselves! We did not see a soul all day--well, not until we were hiking out in the dark and a nice passerby stopped and gave us a lift for the final 0.9 of a mile to our car (which we had parked outside of the loop road to avoid getting a ticket--good thing, as it was 9:00 p.m. when we made it back to the car.) The climbing was stellar. We particularly enjoyed the upper chimney pitch--basically a full rope length with only two feet to spare. We topped out on the route just as the sun set and Vegas was illuminated. Fortunately, it was a clear night with a full moon. After a bit of initial confusion, we found the appropriate descent gully (off to the right) and made it back to our packs at the base of the climb. It felt rather surreal hiking out in the desert on such a clear Christmas Eve night--coyotes howling and burrows braying. An awesome day! | |

| Josh | Route Climbed: Olive Oil Plus Date Climbed: 3/12/02 | |
| After a morning of trail running and soloing stuff in and around Oak Creek Canyon (Red Rocks), I went into town and checked out what was new on SP. I saw that BranchWhitney had added Juniper Peak. I had never been to the true summit of Juniper Peak, but I had done quite a bit of climbing on the formations in the vicinity. I didn't really want to do a class 2/3 hike, so I decided to blaze my own way up. The result was Olive Oil Plus (for lack of a better name). The route is a little contrived, but it was pretty fun. It combines the amazing 5 pitch 5.7 called Olive Oil with lots of easier climbing and scrambling to the summit. I set a new personal record on Olive Oil today: 17 minutes, 20 seconds -- shattering my old record of 18 minutes flat ;-) (NOTE - Dec 6, 2002: You probably don't care, but my p.r. is now 10 minutes, 45 seconds...let me know if you can beat it!) Car-to-car time: 2 hours, 19 minutes. | |
