| jdmorehouse | Beautiful Spring Day  Date Climbed: Mar 25, 2013 | |
| Lorraine and I parked at the narrows, walked up about a mile or so, then attained the main north/south ridge line and followed it all the way to the summit. A beautiful day on the mountain. No brush to speak of, and easy to follow the ridge, even when it got narrow and rocky. | |

| Great day hike. We went too far up the road. Had to come back to the old truck fork. Fantastic view and good hiking weather. Log book in the box on top. | |

| We followed an old DPS route up. Found a lot easier way back down. Nice views. | |

| Dean | Up one way, down another Date Climbed: May 1, 2011 | |
| Thanks to the washout at the beginning of the canyon, this one takes longer than it used to. We hiked up the road to the 5860 level and then just went up some cliffs and steep stuff until we intersected the ridge at the 6900' level. From there it was a good hour to the summit. It was so cold that we stayed just a few minutes (my hiking partner was Dennis Poulin). We followed the ridge all the way down as far as we could, hitting the road at the 5100' level. This was the way we should have gone up, much easier. | |

| Bob Burd | South Ridge Date Climbed: Nov 28, 2009 | |
| With Tom and Bill, a fun afternoon after doing Moapa in the morning. East Face descent and resulting bushwhacking was probably the most fun of the day. Trip Report | |

| bechtt | South Ridge up/East Face descent Date Climbed: Nov 27, 2009 | |
| Afternoon hike with Bob Burd and Bill Peters after Moapa. Missed the DPS route and climbed a different spur to the south ridge. With daylight almost gone, we descended the east face and found an old mining road just before dark. | |

| sierragator | up south, down west Date Climbed: Apr 26, 2008 | |
| Joined by Patrick, Josh, Wendy, and Christine. Acsended via the south ridge route. We descended via the west ridge to Josh's car for a loop. The ridge was no problem, the canyon exit to the sw was a challenge with some cliffing out. We found our way out though. 12.5 mile day. | |

| MoapaPk | East side Date Climbed: Apr 3, 2003 | |
| We went to search for a lost camera. Nick N drove his jeep way up the canyon east of the peak, making for a short trip. The road route we took is now vastly impractical. In 2005, severe washouts left a huge trench in the middle of the 4WD road. | |

| cp0915 | Route Climbed: SE ridge Date Climbed: Sept 25, 2005 | |
| With Susan and Ron. A decent enough route, if brushy at times. The views of the Gold Butte area along the ridgeline are great. The summit views are astounding. Just to give folks an idea, roundtrip numbers from the corral are about 10 miles (3500 ft of gain). No water - bring lots. | |
