| SageHawk | Robbers Roost  Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2009 | |
| Climbed from Robber's Roost Basin, a hike which turned out to be much longer than expected due to the recent wilderness closure. Distance to peak is at least 6 miles from the point of closure. A pleasant hike on the quickly fading remains of an old 4-wheel drive road that ends at the NW base of the peak. It's mostly bushwacking from there to the summit. I spooked quite a few Elk as I climbed through the deep forest on this peak. | |

| buzzdainer | Geyser Ranch/Mill Creek Date Climbed: Mar 27, 2008 | |
| We drove in on the Geyser Ranch route but were surprised to find that after about two miles of driving, the rest of the road was closed because the area has been recently designated as wilderness. We backpacked in to the mine ruins near Mill Creek and then climbed to the Lincoln County highpoint the following day. Route-finding was straightforward and there was good water in Mill Creek. Deep snow made our progress excruciatingly slow, even in snowshoes. | ||

| Our team of three - me, Bill Jacobs and Rick Hartman - had a successful day visiting Grafton Peak's summit and the subpeaks along its ridge. Tiring but exhilirating! | |

| Dennis Poulin | Route Climbed: North Canyon Date Climbed: 7 October 2004 | |
| I climbed with Dean to the summit of Grafton and then along the ridge to the County High Point of Lincoln County. Lots of Elevation Gain on this one, enough to blow your knees out. We took our time climbing and descending on lots of talus. | |

| Dean | Route Climbed: North Creek route Date Climbed: Oct 7, 2004 | |
| Dennis Poulin and myself tackled the cross country route to the summit and then added the LIncoln county highpoint to our efforts in order to accomplish our goals. The HP is one mile to the south and took us an extra hour to find. A tough cross country but using GPS co-ordinates for both the summit and the HP, not difficult. The talus and undergrowth was trying at times and I injured my knee on the descent near the 10,000 foot level which made the remainder of the descent very nasty. I ended up heading home but Dennis went on to get the final two counties he needed to finish all of Nevada's county highpoints, a notable accomplishment. | |
