| Bob Sihler | Twice now  | |
| First time in October 2009, on western and southern ridges. Second time in October 2011, from the east. Fun little peak and interesting summit block. | |

| I've climbed this more than a few times over the years. My family spent quite a bit of time out on the Swell. | |

| climbed the wickiup to start my trip through the swell. hard dirt/rock on the upper slopes made it interesting for awhile. summit block was unexpectedly hairy on the north side, but larger ledges on the northwest corner provided a more peaceful descent. scooted up the fantastic indian benchmark afterwards. jamie | |

| SarahThompson | Interesting cone of dirt/mud Date Climbed: Apr 12, 2009 | |
| We were shut out by snow and very low visibility on our first attempt. Fortunately the weather cleared and we went back the next day and climbed it under sunny skies. The ground was still a little wet but getting to the 4x4 parking spot wasn't a problem. I've never climbed a peak quite like this one - its made mostly of dirt, mud, and rocks that disintegrate into dirt. A fun little adventure. Took us about an hour. I'd give it a class 2+ rating. We had to do a bit of scrambling - not difficult but very loose. | |
