| goat14er | Mount Tipton  Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2009 | |
| I've always wanted to try one of these in the dead of summer. Carried over a gallon of water and needed most of it! The route is pretty straight-forward and the brush is not bad by AZ standards. The views were ridiculously good the whole day. Loved the pine forest on top - great day. | |

| Up standard DPS route. Memorable day for Columbia disaster, which darkened completion of AZ 2K project. Lots of DPSers get up this peak. | |

| Took the normal DPS route. Brush wasn't that bad (by Adirondack standards), much better than on Kingston. The pictures here so far don't do the mountain justice -- very pleasant, and the views to S and W are quite nice. Last 1.5 miles of "2WD" road have deteriorated quite a bit since the last DPS guide. | |

| Nice granite crags and tall pines near the summit. Despite the cross-country sloggy approach, only 4 1/2 hours car-to-car. Did Fortification Hill that afternoon. | |

| Namesake peak I had to do this one. I climbed this peak with my lifetime partner Elaine, She doesn't usually do this sort of thing but with alot of coersion and outright lies about how easy the trail would be I convinced her she would have the time of her life doing this peak. After several hours of slogging our way thru cholla and brush, up steep trailess slopes, minor route deviations, and the constant threat of seeing a snake we made the summit of Mount Tipton. I apologized about the hike being a bit harder than I had let on ,and she replied " Its always hard when you mount the Tipton" Great trip, Eric Tipton. | ||
