| SarahThompson | Interesting cone of dirt/mud  Date Climbed: Apr 12, 2009 | |
| We were shut out by snow and very low visibility on our first attempt. Fortunately the weather cleared and we went back the next day and climbed it under sunny skies. The ground was still a little wet but getting to the 4x4 parking spot wasn't a problem. I've never climbed a peak quite like this one - its made mostly of dirt, mud, and rocks that disintegrate into dirt. A fun little adventure. Took us about an hour. I'd give it a class 2+ rating. We had to do a bit of scrambling - not difficult but very loose. | |

| Wasatchvoyage | Reached the top! Date Climbed: Mar 19, 2009 | |
| After seeing this interesting mountain, I decided to give it a try. After researching the route and approach, the summit was reached after climbing the loose slopes. The actual "tip" of the peak was very much brittle volcanic rock, every hand and foot hold had to be tested. Cool views from the top, including the San Rafael Knob located to the south west, and the massive cliffs and headwalls near Buckhorn Wash to the north. | |
