| aprovance | via Grove Creek and SE ridge  Date Climbed: Oct 17, 2009 | |
| Started from the Grove Creek Trailhead. Reached the summit via the southeast ridge of Mahogany. The climb up the scree was pretty miserable for the first couple hundred yards, then I found several game trails weaving everywhere. It was the first day of hunting season and all the hunters on Timpooneke evidently scared all the deer and elk up my way on up Mahogany ridge. Took two hours and 40 minutes to the summit and an hour and a half down. Didn't see anyone five minutes after leaving the trailhead. Views were great on top. Had the summit all to myself. 8.7 miles roundtrip. | |

| kteichert | Timpooneke Start Date Climbed: Sep 27, 2009 | |
| Having worked 3 straight 12 hour days, I had neglected my dog and she was in need of a trip out and about, as was I. And having always wanted to hike Mahogany, and explore the Timpooneke road, we set out at 4:00 pm from home in Alpine. We got to a barricade at the end of a right fork off the Timpooneke road at 5:00 pm and decided this was as good a place to start as any. Because it is getting later in the year, and the sun is going down much sooner, I figured we needed to hurry. I summitted Mahogany and took a few pics with the flag at top at 5:42 pm. I'm tellin you, I wanted to beat the sun. And returned to my truck at 6:30 pm. Unfortunately I didn't have my GPS with me and so don't know the exact mileage, but it was a great hike, with fantastic views of Timp and Utah Valley. Will post pics soon. | |

| There really wasn't a great place to access the ridge after the bench, so we just went up the steep loose terrain in the direction of the ridge. It was very loose and I knocked off a boulder the size of a small TV and watched as it tumbled down to the trail below. There really isn't a trail from this point on, so just pick your way up the ridge. It was harder than I thought it would be, but it was a fantastic day and the views of Timp and Utah Valley are impressive. | |

| Virtually the same elevation as Olympus to the north, this was a nice alternative to that mountain. There's got to be a better way up from the Grove Creek trail after the bench: the steep loose earth/rock shards scramble above the swollen creek just plain sux. Nice views on top. | |

| The trail along Grove Creek up to the bench where the scrambling begins is very picturesque. The view down to PG/Highland/Alpine from the peak is also nice. | |

| JDrake | My first mountain | |
| I grew up at the base of Mahagony. I have fond memories of a scout orientation course I got myself and my patrol lost on. If you search the West face long enough, you might see the "Great Wall of China" cliffs about half way up.... | |

| I climbed the peak during spring sometime in the late 1990's via Grove Creek and the SE Ridge. | |

| Dean | SE Ridge Date Climbed: Mar 29, 2008 | |
| With SP'er Eric Willhite blazing the way up the SE Ridge, we had a great day in the mountains, despite we were only just a few miles from a major population area. We had snow from the 7200 foot level. JDrake would have been with us but his wife just had a beautiful baby girl and so he had to step back on this one. | |
