| SageHawk | Beautiful Peak  Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2009 | |
| Climbed from Peterson Creek, dodging lightning bolts most of the way up. The climb itself is very uncomplicated. Just walk up the steep NW ridge of the mountain from the end of the road. The road itself is a challenge however. Lots of car scratching brush in the lower sections, trees down across the road in the upper section. It definitely requires a high clearance vehicle. I finally gave up and walked the last 2 miles to the base of the mountain. There are many good campsites in the canyon, especially in the very fine aspen groves. The wildflower display was outrageous and kept me busy with my camera. Lots of Limber pine on the upper slopes. The view from the summit is sublime. | |

| I climbed this peak at a young age with my father and sister. One of the best desert peaks in central Nevada and quite a desert vista. Don't dismiss these desert peaks; they are some the most remote and rewarding mountains to climb. It's easy to find isolation. | |

| Climbed on a great afternoon directly after hiking the Desatoya Twins with Barry Beck. Great views and conditions. Vistas of the Toiyabes are not to be missed! | |

| Hiked this peak in the afternoon with ScottyS. In the morning we hiked Desatoya Twins, hopped in the car and drove for an hour or so, and hiked North Shoshone . It would be a shame to drive all that way for only one peak... | |
