| jdmorehouse | Spring  Date Climbed: Apr 21, 2013 | |
| Now that it's Spring, the First Creek Canyon is rapidly filling with fresh new growth on all the brush. Noticeably present now is the abundant grape vine growth, as well as all the other brush that has lain dormant all winter. Progress up the canyon is appreciably slower, and temperatures are quite warm in the canyon. There is still quite a bit of water running over the falls and in several pools. | |

| Beautiful and fun in the canyon but a pretty boring slog above it. However, the summit is worth it. | |

| jdmorehouse | Via First Creek and the Hidden Bowl Date Climbed: Dec 2, 2012 | |
| Took this with a small party from LVMC. The summit was completely covered in clouds, so no views from the peak this day. The Hidden Bowl was great fun. | |

| Not exactly the typical route, but made it and had a good day. Impressive, rugged rock near Vegas. | |

| Took the standard route up First Creek and it was very pleasant. The brush hasn't started growing yet and the boulder hopping was quite fun. Lots of snow still on top. | ||

| Shirley & I climbed the route swapping leads. Great fun even if it was damn cold! As said elsewhere, much 5.8-5.9 with just a touch of (tightly bolted) 5.10. Great approach beta on ericandlucie.com (under Resolution Arete page). TR here. | |

| MoapaPk | Lotsa ways Date Climbed: Mar 10, 2003 | |
| Several times, by south bowl (slabs), down Cleaver crack... by First Creek... and today (Apr-16-2008) from west, Lovell Canyon. Just 1h 45m from car to top, via west side, with several stops for equipment tests. Though fast, this route has the evil talus on the limestone ridge west of the peak. Also climbed along with Bridge and Rainbow on Apr 26/08. The south bowl -- which cuts off most of the 1st Creek slog -- is a much nicer, more challenging route than plain 1st Creek. | |

| JBRunyan | Hard Work Date Climbed: Apr 11, 2008 | |
| That was an awesome climb. I was making good time until everything went wrong and I didnt pay enough attention to the directions. I headed up the very leftt canyon, when at the amphitheatre, which led me to a 1-2 inch crack with a rope. I climbed up to see what it looked like on the otherside and I saw a cliff with little standing space. I was alone and decided not to risk going over and not being able to climb back. I hiked back down then headed up the Cleaver Crack. I then went up the wrong crack right below cleaver crack which almost sent me turning on. But I pressed on and Once I was on the right track, I made some good time but took a hefty nap on the summit. Fun Hike, Maybe shouldn't have done it alone ;-), Great Afternoon spent at Red Rocks! | |

| the route. Beautiful day for a climb, but tiring going over all of the rocks. A couple of times, I went off route into the brush, but overall, the route finding wasn't bad. Summited alone via First Creek. | |

| Anya Jingle | Via First Creek and Hidden Bowl Date Climbed: Apr 18, 2005 | |
| This is one of my favorites to do in springtime in Red Rocks. Lots of blooms and many opportunities for wildlife viewing along the way. First Creek is a nice canyon on condition that you know the correct route or else you will end up in lots of brush. Slideshow from this route is here: Mount Wilson via First Creek | |
