"Another cool hike with Amber & Luna (the dog). I had to put Luna in my pack for the last bit of scrambling, but she did so well! We were going to do Little Hands Peak too, but I think that would have been a bit much for Luna today. GPS shut off right before we hit the dirt road." — Kevin • Jan 16, 2022

"2.3.2021~Aztec Mountain & Little Hands (twin) Peaks, Ireteba Peak Wilderness, NV, Solo. 7 miles, 2,500’ gain. I don’t think these peaks see any visitors. I chose to do them “Grand Canyon style” by dropping down from above to avoid the cholla forest approach from Nelson. Pretty day. Route finding was fun. I did some Jeep road scampering, class 2+ gully & ridge whompin’, shorty class 3’s here and there and scrambling on the granite boulders of all sizes. I had a short bouldering route puzzle to figure out on a portion of the descent of the last peak. Gorgeous chaotic and colorful views were my reward. The spot I parked was pretty but was littered with spent gun casings so I was honored to clean it all up when I was done my workout. I filled 3 grocery bags full of gun trash and some alcohol cans. This area has given me so much joy as of late, I was happy to fix what others had trashed. I was being a free spirit with my route so I’m sure there may be a better (or worse) way so use track at your own risk. I liked it tho. " — paula.raimondi • Feb 3, 2021
