| scgrant | Little Black Mountain  Date Climbed: Mar 29, 2013 | |
| 3/29/2013 Started at the Terrace Hills Drive trailhead. Great hike with a very fun ridge section from the false summit to the true summit. Hit Avenue Twin Peaks on the way back down. I did this hike and Mount Wire in the same day, back to back. Made for a fun day of hiking in the foothills. | |

| Moogie737 | A long ridge Date Climbed: Dec 22, 2011 | |
| W/ ZeeJay. Reference her write-up for the gory details. Enjoyed a surprisingly close view of a soaring hawk en route to the summit. I did not travel as far as Zeejay, turning around on the ridge at the 8,040' bump. | |

| ZeeJay | Slippery Date Climbed: Dec 22, 2011 | |
| 12/22/2011 Started at Perrys Hollow and climbed Twin Peaks first, then Little Black Mt, and then all the way to the high point of Black Mountain. It wasn't bad until after Little Black Mt at which point we had to choose between knee deep snow or lots of brush. 13 miles RT and over 5000' of elevation gain. The rocks on the scramble part were as slippery as they come with 2" of fresh snow on smooth rock. 5/1/2007 Found geocache near the summit. | |

| AjaxHiker | Wahsatch Steeplechase Date Climbed: Jun 23, 2007 | |
| Climbed this multiple times during the race and during training. Fun scramble along the ridge! Thought I was prepared for the race but it totally kicked my a** b/c I was dumb and climbed Mt Hood & Mt Adams the weekend before. Worth it though! | ||

| Wisemtn | Great Sunset/Lake View Date Climbed: Sep 16, 2010 | |
| Did this after work yesterday. The top just kept going and going! I saw 3 deer and heard a moose below the ridge but couldn't see it. I made it to summit in 1.5 hrs and the sunset was absolutely beautiful over the Salt Lake. Had to hike in the dark with a flashlight on the way down. | |

| derekthered | evening hike Date Climbed: Oct 21, 2009 | |
| 10/21/2009 - did this after school with ryan. because of our late start and the cold only made it to the false summit "ROCK" before turning around. hiked down in the dark wearing headlamps, sharing the trail with a few overzealous hunters and some gutsy mountain bikers. 6/1/2010 - solo hike in the early afternoon. this time went to the top of the ridge. a little scrambly, and great fun! | |

| ericwillhite | True non-summit Date Climbed: May 16, 2009 | |
| Nothing like climbing something like a real mountain that isn't officially a mountain. Great hike, true summit sure seemed like it had enough prominence to be a summit. A bear had taken a dump nearby so it stunk really bad. Pics and map at http://www.willhiteweb.com/salt_lake_city/little_black_mountain/hiking_226.htm | |

| Scott Wesemann | Whiteout on Little Black Date Climbed: Feb 14, 2009 | |
| With Matthew Van Horn on a snowy day. It was snowing on us from the trailhead to the base of Avenues Twin Peaks and then once on the summit of the west twin it cleared up and we were stoked to hit Little Black Mountain. About 20 minutes from the top of Little Black the storm became heinous, but we were so close and didn't want to turn back. The descent was hell but it was a great day. 6/23/12- Wahsatch Steeplechase run. 1:45 to the summit and finished in 3:05. | |

| Matthew Van Horn | Snowstorm/White-out Date Climbed: Feb 14, 2009 | |
| With Scott Wesemann. We hiked to top of Avenues Twins Peaks, then hiked up to Little Black Mountain through steep, deep snow. With very limited visibility it is very easy to get lost. But we didn't. | |

| My favorite trip was in November 2007, went up Killian's to Lookout, traversed the ridge to Little Black, descending Dry Fork and then calling My Wife to pick be up at the JCC. | |

| tmtn93 | Really good Hike Date Climbed: Nov 15, 2008 | |
| Hiked up to the false summit in 2 hour 30 minutes. Hiked back down in 2 hour 15 minutes. This hike was fairly long and it had very irritating "bumps". When you gained a lot of elevation, you'd lose it very quickly. There were some sidetracks that were quite helpful, but not all the bumps had sidetracks. This hike was nice and had outstanding views in all 4 directions. Near the top, there was some snow and a lot of mud. Hiked up to LBM false summit again on May 9th, 2009. About same time round trip and same conditions. | |

| seanpeckham | a gem of a hike Date Climbed: Apr 21, 2008 | |
| I often ride the Bonneville trail for exercise and have always been intrigued by Little Black. A dust storm having destroyed my motivation for skiing, but then clearing up somewhat in the afternoon, I rode (and sometimes pushed) my bike as far as was reasonable then ditched it, changed shoes, and hiked/postholed/scrambled/bushwhacked to the top. The ridge cornices were small and not overhanging but beautiful. It was a windy day but once the dust settled, the evening was gorgeous and I wished I had my camera. A bike is a good way to approach this, it made my round-trip from Terrace Hills only 5 hours and easier to stay high until sunset. | |
