"2.12.2021~Solo, 7 peak Mondo Knife Edge Ridge traverse of a sub ridge in the Frenchman Range/Rainbow Gardens (a parallel ridge directly East of Frenchman Mtn.) Hanging Valley, Knife-Edge, 3,078’, Painted Hills, Kodachrome, 2,742’, and 2,572’ Peaks. 8.5 miles, 2,500’ gain in 6:30hrs. 6.5 miles of the the 8.5 was sustained ridge surfing on some of the gnarliest exposed knife edges I’ve ever experienced. The distances of these stressful sections were never ending and eventually numbed my fear and I worked through them without emotions and with surgical precision. What I went thru today, broke me of my “kryptonite knife edge-syndrome.” When I planned this workout the night prior, I figured it to be a great workout and a piece of cake....but viewing and mapping the gps route from my cozy couch with my rose colored glasses on....I GREATLY underestimated it...AS USUAL!!! When I arrived at my starting point, I ate breakfast and waited out the morning rain storm in my car. The sky cleared so it set off on my workout. The Cool morning breezes eventually disappeared and it was extremely hot for the rest of the day. I suffered a lot even with a high of only 65 deg. I can’t imagine how hot this..." — paula.raimondi • Feb 12, 2021

"I had seen this from White Eagle & wanted to get up there. I parked on the Kodachrome Road & headed ENE through the maze-like badlands. I went up an east ridge to the south of the peak & then crossed the spine of the ridge heading directly north to the summit. As I was enjoying the views, I could see some guy hiking in the Sunrise Landfill which was closed in 1994. He saw me & started to climb up the west side of the peak. I wasn't in the mood to be social with a random weirdo hiking in a landfill, so quickly headed back down a different ridge, almost directly off the peak on the east side. Once I was completely down, I turned & saw him reach the summit. This little peak which probably hadn't seen a visitor in a long time, saw two on this day. Also saw two mountain bluebirds while I was on top. I enjoyed the hike & scenery very much. " — StudioHoodoo • Nov 1, 2020
