| oso1212 | From Dos Cabezas Camp  Date Climbed: Nov 26, 2008 | |
| Cali(my golden) and I hiked it successfully. Went up Dos Cabezas Wash and came down the palm tree wash. Left at 12:30pm and topped out at 3:20pm - made it to the car at 4:40pm. It was extremely dark by that time (no moon w/ overcast). Last summit signature was 9/2/2008. Wingding - I gave you a bump in the register. | |

| Amazing how enjoyable this hike is when visibility is greater than 50 yards and it isn't snowing (like 5 days prior). Found the traverse of the main ridge very enjoyable and followed the canyon with the palm grove on the return route (took northern canyon up). Funner route, but much more time consuming climbing down all the dry waterfalls. | |

| NavySeabee | Snowed Out! Date Climbed: Feb 14, 2008 | |
| I assume its a rarity to see snow on a desert peak, but this was indeed a rare day. Light rain greeted me at the TH and turned to snow around 3000 feet and never let up. Turned around at about 4000 feet due to low vis, and too much slushy accumulation on the boulders. Of course, by the time I got back to the Mortero Palms (where are they??) the snow had stopped and you could see the summit. Weather forecasters completely blew it. Light rain and gusty winds? Try heavy snow and almost no wind. I'm sure to have better luck next time. | |

| From the end of the jeep road South over 3446'. South across the Goat canyon trail and up to the main NW ridge South of Pk. 4000'. With Don Endecott. We hiked to the Trestle on our return making for about a 10 mile trip. Outstanding views on this route. | |
