| utclimber | 3 Peaks in a Day  Date Climbed: Nov 21, 2009 | |
| Started at Geyser Pass Winter Parking, followed the road to the pass, and climbed through deep snow to the North Ridge of Mellenthin. Traversed over to Peale next. After that I scrambled over the Razor Fang to Tuk, and descended north into Gold Basin and back to the car. | ||

| shphilby | What rain? Date Climbed: Aug 6, 2009 | |
| Right when we made it to the peak one heck of a storm rolled in and was pounding us with hail and rain with winds that made it hard to stand. By the time we made it back to the car we were cold and very wet but had the time of our lives. | |

| Up via La Sal pass, made it up in pretty good time, and was chased down by stinging rain and brutal wind. Up and back in about four hours. | |

| kavak | From La Sal Pass Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2009 | |
| Hiked up the 4-wheel drive road east of the pass. Then tried to find the easiest way through the deadfall. The talus wasn't too bad on the way up but I see why others like to do this with snow still in the couloir. I think it would go much qucker. Especially on the way down. Was chased off the top of this one by storm clouds. I wish I could have stayed and enjoyed the tremendous views more. | |

| Moogie737 | From LaSal Pass Date Climbed: Oct 1, 2008 | |
| #1 10-01-08 What a fine way to begin a new month. We car camped 150 yards west of the pass and hiked Peale the day after we had climbed Mt. Waas. Reports of the talus climb being steep are not exaggerated. Made it to the top in 1+57 and down in 1+35. Wonderful fall colors on display everywhere there were huge stands of aspens. I will make a combined trip report to offer some details which might help those who follow. #2 09-03-12 Learned the hard way about which route from LaSal Pass is the correct one. Live and learn. Managed to make it safely in spite of the precarious route wrongly chosen, proof that God watches out even for those who choose to be knuckleheads. | |

| ericwillhite | Lots of snow Date Climbed: May 5, 2008 | |
| Big snow year...stopped on road well over a mile before La Sal Pass. Once on the mountain, some snow, some rock. Traversed over from the summit to Mount Mellerthin, then over to the base of Tukuhnikivatz but that was crazy class 4 climbing that I wasn't expecting. Learned later I did the "Razer Fang" Pics and map at http://www.willhiteweb.com/utah_climbing/la_sal_mountains/mount_peale_185.htm | |

| seth@LOKI | Skied and Boarded East Face Date Climbed: Apr 20, 1994 | |
| Climbed NE"ish" ridge. Great climb and steep Ski. Tandem snowboarded the lower slopes back to the road with my walking brother. I'll never forget the symbiotic gemini riding and dive into the slush at the bottom. | |

| This was an amazing hike! It was a little cold at the tops with the wind blowin, but other than that it was a warm sunny winter day. Being up there gave a cool perspective of canyon lands and arches. | |

| Great directions and info. on the SummitPost page, thanks! It takes ~ an hour from Moab to reach the pass. You could do it without 4X4 but may run into trouble. The trail leads off clearly at the meadow at the pass. However as you ascend into the canyon you enter a long, steep, avalanche wash that is full of trees and debris. Staying to either side may look steeper but will be easier and, having been on both sides, I'd recommend staying to the left. The rest of the hike is steep, constant large Talus, and often without clear switchbacks. The view and the summit are well worth it! | |

| Scrambled up this peak in the 90's. Remember the pica chirping as we were climbing up. | |

| Going solo for the 3 highest LaSals, got Tuk and Peale before Tstorm forced me to descend. The LaSals are beautiful! | |

| weeds19 | Snowy day in the La Sals Date Climbed: May 30, 2004 | |
| The normal route up the couloir was still full of snow and about halfway up the route it really started to snow and blow. We tagged the top and headed down, wishing we had our snowboards for the descent. We couldn't see a thing and will have to return some day to enjoy the peak in different weather conditions. | ||

| Vagabond Manifesto | The King of the La Sals Date Climbed: Sep 19, 2006 | |
| Highest point in Utah outside of the Uintas. Summitted as part of Middle La Sal Traverse, from Tuk and Razor Fang. I think the Razor Fang deserves its reputation! Beautiful day, massive snowstorm the next day, though. | |

| surgent | Went up La Sal Basin Date Climbed: Jul 31, 2003 | |
| My wife and I made the top just as a storm built, so we hightailed it down. Our "mini-honeymoon", having been married earlier in the month. | |
