Voted 10/10 | Hey bro, major thumbs up for posting this obscure mountain. I can just see it, as I drove west from Great Basin NP. That distinctive monster still lingers in my mind. I actually asked what it was on some other climbing message boards. They didn't have much climbing beta, though. | |

Hasn't voted | Hey, thanks for the positive feedback! There's two things I really love about this mountain: Its sheer size and its obscurity. Paradoxically I just want to share it with others. BTW, have you foudn out anything on climbing the peak? Some guide I've come across mention rock climbing in the range, but none specifically mention any rock climbing on the huge wall. Maybe because the rock isn't good for big wall climbing? | |

Voted 10/10 | I think the climbing is good--it's ancient quartzite, much like the huge northeast face of Wheeler Peak in Great Basin NP. The guy I talked to on the other message board had also not climbed the big face, but mentioned some shorter technical routes on the north side of the notch, I believe. It's tough to find info, but at least you'll always have the place to yourself! | |

Voted 10/10 |  I think, you could add some links, book titles, phone numbers/addresses, where one could get more info. Cheers, Rahel  | |

Voted 10/10 | Nice job on the page. This peak has always been on one of my lists....just haven't gone that deep yet! I'll move it up a "notch" next time I head to Great Basin NP. | |

Voted 10/10 | Quite the mountain. I'm not surprised it's in Utah. I learned about this page from a message board thread Scott Patterson had started. Very impressive. Your page is well done (check for typos) and I hope to eventually see this mountain in person thanks to your work. | |

Voted 10/10 | Have drove past this on route 50 and was curious of the peak and range. Since I'm not from Utah I can be a little geographically retarded with the remote areas. Nice Page, you put some work into it. | |

Voted 10/10 | Nice page. Maybe break up the Overview section into different paragraphs. The climbing store in Bishop = Wilson's E SIde sports. | |

Hasn't voted | I did some sleuthing for that 1987 AAJ article on the 'Swiss Route' and it's actually on page 178, not 128. There isn't much for information, though, besides some ominous hints at the atrocious rock quality. The route went at V 5.10+ A3 and appears to have gone unrepeated for a reason... | |
