| Traversed from Fountain. Saw two eagles, heard the canyon wrens, and almost stepped on a baby rattler. Still picking cactus spines out of my legs several days later. | |

| A great day out. Edgar is a nice peak, but Fountain is much better. MoapaPk, show-off that he is, demonstrated some of his gymnastics abilities on the descent. I'll give him a "10" for surviving. | |

| Climbed with cp and Rick. The route from Fountain was "interesting". On the way down, I almost bought it when part of the gravel use trail collapsed under my right foot, spilling me sideways over a very steep gravel&rock chute. I had to push off and bounce several times before I could get my feet under me. I dug in my hands as if I were doing a self-arrest, which wasn't all too good for my hands. I hate and fear steep gravel with a passion. It's those trivial stretches, where you least expect accidents, which can kill you. My mind was focussed for the class 4 stuff beforehand; but I was relaxed coming down the class 2 peak. Thank God I still have the backcountry ski instincts to get my feet under me at all costs. | |

| Challenging route-finding from Fountain Peak. The area is highly scenic, but the incredible numbers of cacti found here do much to detract from the enjoyment of this. | |

| This is an excellent Peak, great views in all directions. Quite a difficult hike, there's no trail and lots of cacti. | |
