| Joseph Bullough | via Henrys Fork  | |
| Easy traverse from Kings Peak. A long and tedious descent into Painter Basin. | |

| Wasatchvoyage | Part of Kings in a day. Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2009 | |
| Hit this one up by traversing the ridge from Kings, then back over Kings and down to Anderson Pass. The weather started looking fairly dark, headed back to the t.h. just before a downpour. Those other summits up there will be done another day. | |

| I climbed Henrys Fork Peak, West Gunsight Peak, Kings Peak, and South Kings Peak in a day from Henrys Fork Trailhead. Round trip was around 12 hours. | |

| ZeeJay | Long day Date Climbed: Jul 7, 2009 | |
| In one long 17 hour, 28+ mile day starting from the Henrys Fork TH, I did Kings Peak, S Kings Peak, Painter Peak (13387), and Trail Rider Peak (13247). Then descended into Painter Basin, back over Gunsight Pass, and back to the start. The weather was perfect. | |

| After Climbing Kings, my friend John and I traversed over to South Kings. We descended down to the lake that sits beneath South Kings and then followed the drainage beneath the Gemini Peaks back to Painters basin. Great cross country route if you have the time. | |

| I was able to add south King's Peak after summiting King's on a 3-day backpack trip. I was seemingly the only person to stand on the wide, flat south summit on this day. I signed the summit register, rather, it is actually a bunch of loose scraps of paper stuffed into a jar. I signed "Matthew Van Horn August 8, 2007". From King's Peak, the South peak looks undenialbly higher, but then from the South Peak, King's is indeed the higher of the two, a strange optical illusion. | |

| Moogie737 | Perfect add-on for Kings Peak Date Climbed: Aug 29, 2006 | |
| It took my son and I about 50 minutes to go from the summit of Kings to that of South Kings. Lots of the rock slabs you encounter coming off the summit of Kings are unstable, so be careful. Contouring around two of the intermediate bumps is fun boulder hopping. One more bump and then you tackle the real summit ridge. Very flat at the top; we couldn't locate a summit register even though many talk about one being there. However, there was a very cool cairn someone had spent some time constructing. | |

| August 1995. Much less visited than Kings. Appears higher from some directions. I've also visited Anderson Pass from several directions. | |

| Had good weather the day hiking in (70's). The warm weather the day before made the snow soft up through Anderson Chute. Post holed to my crotch, not a lot of fun. Made Kings and hiked to South Kings. Got hit with a white out from South Kings back to Anderson Pass. From there it was rain back to camp. | |
