| Fleshj27 | 30 Minutes My Ass! Date Climbed: Dec 30, 2011 | |
| 30 Dec 2011 30 minutes to Summit my red buttsky! More like 2 hours! Okay, I'm not the fastest hiker/climber on the planet, but for the love of God, QUIT FREAKIN TRYING TO KILL ME with hooptie overly optimistic timelines on these summits. I actually use the beta in these posts to plan hikes and I'm getting tired of picking my way down rocky cliffs in the dark because somebody didn't want to sound like they were some type of slowpoke. Other than almost plunging off a cliff in the dark and dying a tragic death, This is a pretty darn cool climb for being right next to the city...I went up the south face next to the stone chairs. Will do again sometime when I have more daylight. 3 Jan 2012 Did it again with more daylight and combined it with Mt. Wire. For the record, it took 1 hour 46 minutes to the highest point on Red Butte | |

| voxnihili | Inversion | |
| Went up to the top with some friends from the university dorms on a Sunday (Feb. '99). It was my first experience with the SL Valley air inversion. Cold and dreary in the valley. Sunny and beautiful (the soup below, withstanding) up top. | |

| Didn't know the living room was up here but had heard of it from a friend. Fun short hike after work. Great views and sunset! Took less than an hour to summit. Rockin' to L.A. Woman on the run down. Good times! | |

| Scott Wesemann | Fun hike Date Climbed: May 20, 2009 | |
| What a great hike before work. This was a lot more fun than I thouhgt it would be. Had a little rain, a lot of laughs and rousted a rattle snake from its slumber. Actually Matt almost stepped on it. Good times!! I'll be back. 2/20/2010- Also did Mt. Wire. Total time for the loop was 2:10. Perfect way to start a weekend. 3/13/2010- 6:00 AM start with Jun32. Reached the summit of Wire in 50 minutes. It was cold and windy. Over to Red Butte (saw a bald eagle on top) and then did the Red Butte loop. 3,575 elevation gain. 9.44 miles. 4/15/10- With Jun32. Came over from Wire and ran the ridge and all the way back to the cars. Started at 4:30 AM and we made it back in about 2 hours. 6/3/10- Solo over Wire and Red Butte. 2:15. 11/3/10- With Matt Van Horn. Also summitted Wire. Total time 1:48 | |

| Sarah Simon | Up the ridge, Down Georges Hollow Date Climbed: Nov 9, 2008 | |
| I think this is as great little urban hike. I enjoyed the scamper up the ridge. I had this entire butte to myself until my way down toward George's Hollow, when I encoutered a trio of Wasatch Mountain Club members. (All the other hikers were busy on Big Beacon, but I was too short on time for that one.) We chatted for a while and enjoyed the view of Salt Lake City, then I headed down George's Hollow to my rental car. I strongly recommend this loop route to anyone interested in this hike. This was a nice way to kick off a business trip (I tucked this one into a Sunday afternoon before the start of meetings in SLC.) | |

| seanpeckham | via the ridge in a blizzard Date Climbed: Oct 6, 2007 | |
| This is a very nice hike, and I bet the views would be fantastic but as it was I had 100 feet of visibility. I continued up the ridge to Big Beacon and came down Georges Hollow, which was a gorgeous fall/winter wonderland with an inch of brand-new snow dusting the pink, orange, and green leaves and the tiny Gambel oak canopy enclosing the trail. Edited to add: I did this hike again (again continuing to Big Beacon) under blue sky March 22, 2008. | |

| RDG | Up Georges Hollow Date Climbed: Jan 26, 2007 | |
| Went up through Georges Hollow, wanted to continue on to Mount Wire but low visibility made me shorten the trip, down via Georges Hollow as well | |

| mountaingazelle | Up the ridge, Down Georges Hollow Date Climbed: May 29, 2006 | |
| I was short on time and decided that Red Butte would be a good choice. My route went straight up the ridge and I came down Georges Hollow. The flowers were out and everything was so green up there. You could easily combine Big Beacon and Red Butte in the same hike since they are connected by the same ridge. It was a nice way to spend the afternoon. | |

| Scott | Georges Hollow | |
| I always did this hike in early spring or winter. The reason was that its one of the first routes that melts off in the Wasatch. This was all in the 1980's or very early 90's before I had snowshoes or did the higher peaks in winter. | |

| hgrapid | Tough hiking Date Climbed: Mar 24, 2006 | |
| Red Butte was tougher than I thought it would be. It was steep, with some deeper snow slowing me down. There were 3 or 4 false summits before I reached the actual one. It was difficult, but fun. | |
