| antonyw | Relay Peak and Mt Houghton  Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2011 | |
| Picked off Relay first then headed over to Houghton, took a stupid way down from there but ended up finding a decent chute to get me back down on to the Rose trail. Track and pics here: http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=1273434 | |

| sangus | Still snow Date Climbed: Jun 25, 2011 | |
| In the middle of the summer and there was still snow this year, we ran into a group skiing the peak in the area. I think relay peak has the best views. | |

| JonathanHeywood | Great Views Date Climbed: Dec 16, 2011 | |
| Did a loop with Church and Houghton. Enjoyed the beautiful views from the summit, yet found the lack of snow -- patches here and there, no widespread coverage -- rather disappointing given the date. | ||

| Marmaduke | Great view of Tahoe Date Climbed: Nov 10, 2011 | |
| The plan was after Tamarack and Houghton and Relay, then traverse to Rose Knob Peak, Rose Knob and Baldy. My brother-in-law's feet though became very cold and we couldn't continue. Nice day still. That would be a great day to complete those 6 peaks, will be back. | |

| Relay Peak is the tallest peak on the Tahoe Rim Trail. My friends and I completed the 165 mile stretch this year. The views from Relay were nice! It was a pretty easy walk as far as peaks go~ | |

| partlysunny | Still Snow from Epic Season Date Climbed: Jul 23, 2011 | |
| Always a great hike from the Mt. Rose Hwy. parking lot. Snow becomes quite evident after the pond. The last leg of the service road up to the communications tower is half bare and half snow covered. There was still quite a bit of snow to hike through for the last few mins before you reach the summit, which is half covered and half not. No dangerous snowfields. Have fun! | ||

| hgrapid | East Ridge - lots of snow Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2011 | |
| Hiked via the South Ridge. It was still pretty much all covered in snow. I tried to descend via the road, but it was snow covered. I had to slide down on my rear instead of the road from near the electric towers. | |

| rmick25 | TRT Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2010 | |
| Did this on a thru hike of the Tahoe Rim Trail. Great on the way up from the south side but then a zoo of people on the way down to Rose Summit. Didn't help that it was Labor Day weekend. I didn't care much for the powerlines and all the signs of humans either. | |

| BSPclimber | From the service road Date Climbed: Aug 6, 2008 | |
| My son and I rode our bikes up the service road. Very mild climb to Frog Pond, then got steeper and required some hike-a-biking. Left my bike at the no bikes sign for the last half mile to the summit. Amazingly, there must have been 100,000 butterflies on that last half mile of trail, all heading towards the summit. And not one of them ever hit me, they have a great sense of direction. Came down and then took the bikes up to the towers and rode down from there. Top part was a bit rough and loose, bottom part was fairly smooth and very fast. Up to the summit in 1:30, back to the bikes in 10 minutes. From the towers to the car took 11 and a half minutes for the 4.2 miles. Super fun, and a big knee and leg saver! | |
