"I have been so busy the last two months that I haven't had time to do longer hikes. I was itching to do something long, so decided on Pinto Valley. This is one of the few peaks I haven't been up out there, so decided to visit. I got out there around 10am (I slept in too late!) & parked at the pullout near Redstone & headed down into Pinto Valley. The weather was perfect, in the high 60s. I hadn't been down through the valley in several years & forgot how meditative the long hike is. I was in heaven! This was the perfect choice. I went up the east side. It was a lot steeper than I thought it would be! My route was mostly sustained class 2+ with a few short, easy class 3 moves. I was using hands the whole way up. There are lots of shifty sandstone slabs to contend with. I could not get the register jar open. I enjoyed the climb up, though it was trickier getting back down. I went down a slightly different way than I went up. Afterward, I took a detour to visit some of my favorite petroglyphs in Pinto Valley. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKaZ6ER6ZmY" — StudioHoodoo • Feb 1, 2020

"Mike, Dylan & I went on an adventure to climb Harlan Peak, named after a local hiker. We first headed up to Peak 2741 via the West Ridge, then dropped down to the SE Saddle. From there, we made our way to the GPS coordinates I was given for Harlan Peak. When we got there, we realized that the point to the NE was higher, so we made our way there. Harlan Peak boasts some very interesting geology on the south side of the peak. We also saw a bighorn sheep on our way up. 12 miles r/t with about 3700 feet of gain." — Kevin • Dec 3, 2016

"I am the eponymous Harlan. First climbed on a long day trip with CP. We went up the N side, which is a tricky route. CP was on a bike (legal then) to ride through the wash, I jogged. I called it "Bonus Peak" in my write-up. https://hwstock.org/bpb/" — hwstock • Jan 1, 2008
