| Rained pretty much all day. Fun scramble on wet rocks in the clouds. Couldn't see any views, just clouds and fog. After Castle Rock, went around to the west and up to the highpoint. Didn't see another person all day. :) | |

| Dean | Castle & Stansbury HP Date Climbed: Nov 28, 2008 | |
| 3 of us wanted to work off some thanksgiving dinners so Sp'er Kadee, her friend Mike and I worked our way up to the ridgeline and tagged Castle Peak first, dropped down to the west a bit and then made our way up to the HP of Stansbury Island. We found a nice little register left by SP member Eric and signed in. The weather turned out to be almost perfect by the time we hit the summits. We dropped off of Stansbury by taking a ridge directly to the west. A very nice hike. | |

| ericwillhite | Stansbury Is and BM Date Climbed: Nov 8, 2008 | |
| Traversed the West side from camp area along property fenceline. Went up to ridge, hiked to top of Castle Rocks. Just droped down west side 100 feet to avoid the class 4. After true summit, continued on to Stansbury BM6553. More class 4 but you can skip it by dropping below and taking the only gully between cliffs up to the summit area. To get back, just dropped down the gully, crossed privite property and went west till hitting road. Walked road a few miles back to car. Check out my map in the pictures to get an idea of where the private property is located. Full report at http://www.willhiteweb.com/stansbury_mountains/stansbury_island_castle_rocks_324.htm | |

| What a terrific place. One of the few places on earth you can hike on a desert island in a salty inland sea. Come when the weather is still cool--springtime or autumn--because it gets HOT out here. | |

| Letting the new snow settle out a little in the Wasatch, I took this opportunity to listen to the Jimmy Hendrix Experience (just downloaded to my iPod) as I visited this cute little peak. Nice day. Lots of folks on the island, though. Up to no good, if you ask me. | |

| I climbed the mountain from the west. It was a steep hike up to the ridgeline. There were several false summits that I had to climb over and fun scrambling along the way. All of the gunshots being fired below the mountain was a little alarming too. | |

| Asher and I wanted to get a taste of some summer hiking so we went decided to explore Stansbury Island. The hike was a great warm up and the ridge scrambling was very enjoyable near castle rock. | |
