"Three peak route today. We ascended the newly completed Dead Horse Gully route. It runs up the entire gully. After several tries and a lot of clearing of overgrowth, we cairned and completed the route earlier this year. From DHP we went down to White Pinnacle and signed the register there. A slight climb back up put us on a ledge that runs west from there. We took that ledge a short distance until we found the slot that runs down to another ledge below. It is very obvious where the slot is. You see a huge flat area a hundred plus feet below you and the slot starts to your left (east) of where you are. To get into the slot looks vey intimidating, but there are a lot of foot and hand holds on the wall. One member of the team entered the slot from the end of the slot...a little more risky in my opinion. Once down the slot and to the flat area we made our way east a slight distance to White Pinnacle Jr. The start of the descent route from here was not one of the best. We went down the very brushy, overgrown WP Jr. gully. It was a fight to get the short distance down to the point where we could hook up with route that has been cleared. Definitely a fun day and route, but my definition o..." — Heartattackbruce • Dec 2, 2023

"Decided to check out the Joey Louis route to his peak, White Pinnacle "Jr". The gully/canyon climb definitely has some fun challenges in it. The canyon had a lot of overgrowth and debris from the big storm. There are some cairns, but where there's not it's pretty intuitive to follow. The final sandstone spine ascent to the peak has some major exposure....and in some places....crabby, soft sandstone. The exit off the peak was easy and with no exposure...directly down into the canyon via a slot. You could also use the slot for an ascent if you decided to continue to the top of the main canyon and not get out onto the sandstone spine...where the red and white sandstone meet. From Jr. we found a crack that took us up to a ledge that I knew went out to White Pinnacle. So, we climbed the crack and made a short traverse out to W. Pinnacle and descended that route. Overall....worth doing because of the challenges to get there. " — Heartattackbruce • Nov 30, 2023

"We summit White Pinnacle via the standard route, went up to Dead Horse Point after, and descended the entire Dead Horse Canyon....not the standard Dead Horse route. The descent in the mid-section of the canyon has a couple of class 5 areas that we used webbing on. We have been up this route and found that going up was easier than going down. There are a couple of rabbit holes and tunnels that you get to climb through. Definitely worth experiencing. " — Heartattackbruce • Jun 7, 2023

"Back for revenge . Got everything with ease today. Feel silly for turning around the other day, DHP wasn’t bad at all. Everything on Wilson is well ducked and the traverse from WPP to Wilson is one of the best routes in red rock. WPP & DHP are optional, so even if you don’t want to do exposed climbing , you can still do this . Crux would be the second handline up white rock gully . Otherwise it’s the summit block at DHP. Now as awesome as the Wilson traverse was that is about how AWFUL the other peaks were . Pretty much as soon as you branch off for first creek , it is just a loose nightmare really all the way to indecision peak , with the worst in between first creek and decision. I hated it . Took me way longer to go from first creek to indecision than it did to do the Wilson traverse . Phone died at end so add another mile for car to car distance" — joshortman • Jun 1, 2023

"Head was not in it today. After WPP Got psyched out by very strong winds that I was not expecting. Got to the vertical ledges for DHP and did not want to do it in the wind . Waited about 45 minutes at the notch and wind only got worse . Just called it there instead of continuing up. I’ll be back " — joshortman • May 24, 2023

"Paula and I tried a new (to us) route to White Pinnacle. The lower part of the route was brushy & tiring, so we didn't continue to the summit. We'll be back. Don't use the GPS track. It is garbage; the signal was going in & out while in the canyon." — Kevin • Apr 3, 2022

"4.2.22. Kevin invited me along on his exploratory route to WPP (different from fixed line route) Kevin could have finished it but I eventually threw in the towel. It was creepy and he got me up a few cruxes in the beginning but I got worn out with the sustained creepy ledge and scratchy plant stuff and Eventually gave up. I started to long for the giant boulder filled scratchy plant canyon below. We did find the main route eventually by dropping into the canyon and turning a corner after a red wall. We explored a little farther to the class 3 ramp thingy that heads to the main final approach. *insert barfing sound* …We saw a young female bighorn (that charged at me trying to flee), a blue bellied lizard, frog, alcove, cave, flowing water, blooms & a floating heart leaf. I forgot shoe insoles, my watch & broke my glasses at the trailhead. A nice man offered me his work pair. My legs, arms and ego are slashed but it was nice to get into the intimidating Red Rock Canyons I tend to avoid. I have projects here too." — paula.raimondi • Apr 2, 2022

"White Pinnacle Peak, Red Rock, NV...Solo...5.5miles, 2,000’ gain, 3:04hrs round trip. It was terrifying and satisfying mountain scrambling goodness. A side piece of Mighty Mt. Wilson. My 1st time doing it solo! (2nd time on top)...What an adrenaline rush! After the jog and hill hike up, it has a Class 3-5 gully ascent and then a narrow knifes edge walk “across the plank” to the summit which has a 400’ drop on the north side and 1,000’ drop on the south side! No room for error and no comfort from another human. YeeeeeHaaaaaawww! I never set up my webbing but used the fixed ropes on 2 sections. Very few females have done this alone and now I’m part of that exclusive club! Feels sooooo good! It’s taken years to build up to this. Years and years of failures and exposing myself and numbing myself to this. Walking through countless walls of fear. And it is STILL terrifying!!! The road to becoming a Mountaineer Master is relentless, cruel and full of suffering....but so rewarding. The amount of turn arounds I had on this particular route were heartbreaking but worth ALL the failures for a day like today. https://youtu.be/rlLroJvQWnw https://youtu.be/XCnEB1KaX90" — paula.raimondi • Oct 9, 2020

"11.11.19 White Pinnacle Peak (WPP) w/Harlan. 5.5 miles, 1,900’ gain. For the last 4 days this goal has consumed my every waking (and sleeping) thoughts. 2 solo tries had me giving up hope. What was beyond the chimney was my crux. For good reason. It was so advanced past that part, my mind was blown. I had to scrape the pieces of my brain back together and keep heading up....Luckily Harlan Stockman wanted to go with me today. He probably didn’t, really (he’s been there, done that and then some) but I think I worried him with my obsession. It was a way better experience with his guidance. Hardest climb I’ve done. The class 3 definitely felt like 4. Down climbing the way we went up was “interesting”. I walked the plank to the summit on my butt cheeks. He walk to the peak like he was in his kitchen going to grab a cup of coffee. The exposure was stunning. Maybe next time I will look at it more. I’d also like to eat a sandwich up there next time. Thanks Buddie. I appreciate you. (Photos by Harlan & Paula)" — paula.raimondi • Nov 11, 2019
