| I drank every ounce of water ( ~130) that I had with me and could have easily consumed 100 more. The views were great and the sparrows were flying low. A nice climb with lizrdboy. | |

| Good climb, and following Gerry Roach's directions proved useful. There was even a stream flowing! | |

| We took 7 hours to make the 12 mile roundtrip to the lonely summit. The hot weather and scant trails were the main obstacles. Take more that 4 liters if hiking in the summer. The summit was quite satisfying: small and airy with vertical cliffs dropping off on three sides. We were repeatedly buzzed by swallows practicing their dog fighting skills - impressive. | |

| We did fine despite inclement weather. Unfortunately I never actually 'saw' the mountain during the hike. Would like to go back some day for a go in better weather. | |

| easleygone | Route Climbed: northeast(from ghost town) Date Climbed: Sept 1993 | |
| We obtained permission from the ghost town landowner to camp there and climb the mountain from the NE. To reach the summit we climbed the prominent gully on the east side of the summit block. It was a difficult class 3+ with much loose rock. I don't think it had been climbed as there are several easier routes. The Apaches used this mountain as a lookout post as you can see forever in any direction. It is well worth the effort! | ||
