I have a friend who wanted to get to Bald Mountain, and claimed he had figured out a way to climb it at night. Since very sophisticated technology is used to spot intruders, I doubt the lack of daylight would have helped him. In any case, he gave up the plan for medical reasons.
Bald Mountain has a large structure on top, probably a relay for Area 51, the mysterious classified site in Nellis AFB, where the stealth bomber was tested.
