| MoapaPk | From DPS traillhead on the east  Date Climbed: Apr 17, 2013 | |
| The road into the old miner's cabin (since burned down) is awful, especially the last 0.3 miles. The DPS describes a ridge route that is claimed to be class 1, but it doesn't seem to be "hands in pockets" terrain. I went up by a nice use trail to the south, and down the ridge route. PLease take the route from Crater (sulphur) Mine described on SP. | |

| SeanReedy | Hiked from the Crater Date Climbed: Apr 7, 2012 | |
| As our trip was winding down, the family had grown weary of slow going roads, so I hiked up from our camp spot at the mining area by the crater. With some minor side excursions and time sitting atop the peak, I probably hiked about 14 miles RT in about 6:45 (the road portion of the hike was easy to keep a fast pace on). I enjoyed the hike along the ridge. | |

| Followed the road in from the South. Parked near several abandoned mines, one of which appeared to be in fairly good condition. Enjoyable climb along the ridge to the summit. | |

| Up a wash from North Eureka Valley Road to peak 8338, then along the ridge to Last Chance. Saw a dozen Bighorns as I decended the west ridge. The summit register was missing as the wind had tossed the register box around and it had opened. | |

| Simple cross-country climb from the spring on Thanksgiving weekend. Spent the weekend exploring northern Death Valley, snowed on us on the drive out via Hidden Valley to Saline Valley Road. | |

| rowjimmy | Pleasant even in June Date Climbed: Jun 6, 2010 | |
| I really loved the simple ridge walk from the south. While we started at 6,600' and the summit is just 8,459', the total elevation gain for the route is just over 3,100'. Despite a trailhead temperature of 89 degrees at 4pm, we were enjoying a 72 degree temperature on the summit and hour and a half later. The summit register indicates that few attempt the peak in summer, but the starting and summit elevation are high enough to make this route reasonable through the summer, if you enjoy warm to hot temperatures like I do. The view of the Sierras and empty Eureka Valley were particularly nice. View to the SE of Death Valley was a bit obscured by haze. | |

| This is a nice climb with wonderful views. The trees are a welcome break from the desert landscape. | |
