| Alex Wood | Mountain Biked  Date Climbed: Apr 22, 2011 | |
| Started at 12, reached the top of Darton Dome at 1, then did the Lookout and the True Summit. I road down at 2 and made it back to the parking lot in 20 minutes. Great cardio and nice downhill | |

| oldadit | Vitz did it Date Climbed: May 8, 2005 | |
| Yes, die hard peakbagger John Vitz of Manhattan Beach CA came all the way out here to hike this AZ top 100 (by prominence) peak. He was not fooled by the bump at the lookout tower, but climbed the true high point 1/3 mile west. Do the same, and you can sign his register. | |

| Bombchaser | West Face Climb Date Climbed: Nov 14, 2009 | |
| I climb this peak via the west side. I found a narrow road that went up to around 7500 feet. I hiked straight up the west face which is steep cinder and pine trees. The weather was snowing lightly and had fog moving through. The is a much tougher hike than using the road. I would rate it a moderate using this appraoch. | |

| BLong | Nice, easy hike Date Climbed: Apr 25, 2009 | |
| I enjoyed hiking up to the lookout tower with a couple friends during the drive from Flagstaff to Paria River. We intended to do Humphreys, but the weather wasn't looking too good. It was intensely windy up top, so we ate lunch in the guard tower. The guard was certainly an interesting fellow. | |

| Nice hike up the road. Went off trail and topped out on Darton's Dome as well. Great views, indeed. | |

| Clark_Griswold | Not sure Date Climbed: Jul 14, 2007 | |
| I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It is definetly an easy hike (though long for the elevation gained) since it is on a road, but that detracts from it, in my opinion. I like the summit, the views are great and is is a pretty neat mountain, but I just don't like that road. I would like to do this peak again, maybe off trail, but I can't see myself finding the time to hike that long road again. Not when there are other more interesting things around to do. | |

| surgent | A great hike Date Climbed: Sep 15, 2007 | |
| The cinders make for great soft but firm footing the whole way up, and the views onto the lava flows and Sunset Crater are amazing. Also, great views of the S.F. Peaks. A thoroughly enjoyable hike and one we will do again... | |

| I summited this mountain years ago. We did it in the winter so we had to park at the main road and hike to the mountain. O'Leary is a deffinatly must do! It's easy but the view is wonderful | |
