"5.7.24. Bridge Mtn #28 from Lovell Cyn~ Nearly 13 miles, 4,000’ gain in 5:20hr. Up top in 2:53hrs. From base of crack to summit in :20 min. I stepped aside to let some motorcyclists by on Rocky Gap road and landed next to a snake. I was so close to it my foot hopped within its body curls. I don’t think it was a rattler thank goodness since I had to hop around a few times near it to get my body to flee. I didn’t take a photo since I was freaked out. I was attacked by hornets the whole fucking time! I don’t remember experiencing so many in one outing!?! I eventually stopped running and freaking out about them because it was wearing me out. They seemed to hang out around my head less when I did that. Lots of small bugs too, trying to get in my ears so I kept my ears covered. Other than all that drama, it was spectacular as usual. With an 11am start. temps were warn with nary a breeze. I consumed (3) 16oz bottles of water, an applesauce packet and a banana. " — paula.raimondi • May 7, 2024
"Attempted Montgomery Peak after summiting Boundary Peak, but we didn't go far. The snow on the steep slope below the gendarmes looked dicey and we didn't have crampons.
Bring full winter gear or attempt this peak once the snow is gone." — Taras • Apr 27, 2024
"Always a fun loop that can be modified in many ways...adding or subtracting peaks on the way. It's fun to see the expressions on the faces of the team when they do the Rainbow Direct route for the first time. " — Heartattackbruce • Apr 21, 2024
"TR and Condition report on Rocky Gap Road out of Willow Springs. My 56x up Bridge. I normally avoid this road unless required by expediency. I used to drive up here in a 2003 Subaru with 7 inches clearance, aided by the narrowness of that vehicle. Since then, one section has gotten better and two have gotten worse. The section bigRocksInRoad (right after 1st wash) and BadRedHill are worse. The OldBadSpot, where a stream sometimes crosses, is better. We saw several Pink Jeeps turn around at Park4NorthPeak at 2.4 miles up – they used to turn around below that.

"Mainly this a condition report. I was on this route about 1.5 years before. As of 4/14/2024, the canyon has more water than usual, so there may be more creative routing around the pools. There is obvious evidence of the floods last September and after, and there seem to be many fewer cairns. This is at least my 12th time, by many different routes; the other routes may be technically harder, but this one can be exhausting in high water condition, mainly due to the bouldering through Oak Creek.
