| Pseudo-summit log showed that my partner and I were the first summit of 2008. Can that be right? No one since December 2007. It was a typical backcountry bushwhack although more than I have grown accustomed too while climbing down here for the short month I have had here. But it was nice to knock off Florida since it was on my list of "to dos" while I was here. Should have gone up the north highpoint but wanted to make it official and do the named Florida Peak. Maybe next time. | |

| I tagged along with Weeds who was climbing the peak for a second time. I'm not sure I would do such a thing with such dense undergrowth. True to Southern New Mexico climbing, the crux of this peak was the plant life...and the rattle snakes...and the lose rock. BUT, it was a fabulous mountain - remote and rugged - with two great summits. I highly recommend climbing it once. | |

| This was a great hike punctuated by an intriguing summit on the north HP. The rock is solid and the moves are easy, but the consequences of a misstep are bad. A wonderful December adventure a short ways from Las Cruces. Check out the Adobe Deli if you're heading back towards Las Cruces, it's quite a place and the food is Great! | |

| A peaceful hike/bushwhack with good roped climbing potential. Having hiked just about every mountain range around, it was time to do the Floridas. We decided to take the steep, rocky canyon that splits off to the west about a half-mile from the end of the jeep road, which was good steady climbing until the brush closed in on us, so we called it a day. Will be back out someday to continue the bushwhack to the ridge. | |
