| jdmorehouse | Short but steep | |
| I climbed this one day in February, 2003. I don't remember the date. A nice, warm day. | |

| myles | Nice day out Date Climbed: Jan 27, 2013 | |
| Stole away during a work trip to Vegas for this nice hike. Sleet, snow, high winds and sun made for a fine day out. Someone posting here called it "boring" ..: well, it ain't technical but said person's a fucking philistine. | |

| Winter 2013 Climbed solo via the trail and descended via the West Gully route. There is a fun contrast between the wilderness and the city from the top! | |

| Walkoutnow | Nice getaway Date Climbed: Jul 30, 2012 | |
| Cool little hike and getaway from the strip. Can even pick your own trail for a bit of scrambling up the wash. Been to vegas many times and never ventured out there, definitely worth it! | |

| Ruvicha | Beats the Strip Date Climbed: Mar 11, 2009 | |
| Tired of the Strip? Head to Red Rock Canyon NCA, go up Turtlehead, look down on Las Vegas and smile, knowing you're in a better place. | |

| montanachris | The best part of my trip to Vegas Date Climbed: Mar 13, 2012 | |
| The contrast of terrain to my home in the Southern Appalachians was very refreshing...I only wish that I could've hit up a couple more summits in the area. | |

| milbucksfans | First peak! Date Climbed: Mar 28, 2011 | |
| My wife and I made this our very first mountain hike and our first peak as well. Got a bit lost on the descent but still an extraordinary day! | ||

| byates | Stuck in Vegas, found someything to do. Date Climbed: Dec 14, 2011 | |
| Snowed the day before, about 4" near the summit, nice little hike when needing a hike while stuck in a hellhole like Vegas. | |

| EKassan | It's a summit Date Climbed: Oct 8, 2005 | |
| How sad that this is the only peak in Red Rock with an official trail to the summit ... it also happens to be one of the most boring. | |

| LincolnB | Xmas escape Date Climbed: Dec 24, 2010 | |
| Escaped for the morning from Christmas with the in-laws in Vegas. Nice hike -- apparently the only non-technical peak in Red Rock so sees a lot of use. Tried scrambling up First Canyon a few days later but got stuck near the top. | |

| jtellis | First of two peaks on the day Date Climbed: Oct 27, 2011 | |
| I got a late start on the day, as it was almost noon when I began. When I saw the amount of cars at the parking area (nearly the entire lot was full) I almost turned around...but I'm glad I didn't. While I didn't get a chance to enjoy solitude, it seems that more than 90% of people barely make it beyond the first hundred yards of the trailhead. I passed less than a dozen people on the way up, and even had the summit to myself for about 20 minutes before a couple more people joined me. Great views in all directions -- and, unlike the view from (most of) the Springs, I had a clear view of Lake Mead. One or two short sections of fun, easy scrambling and worth the trip. I'm sure it's best enjoyed midweek, early in the morning (I don't think you could pay me to do this on a weekend). Up in 1 hr. 15 min. and down in 45 min., then off to White Rock Spring Peak. | |
