"Explored an east face route to the peak today. Cool knife-edges instead of the scree slope I saw someone else post on a website about. They were a little scarier in the high winds but made them work. Since the route was a return via the dirt road I threw in my first summits of NE Frenchman Peak and NW Frenchman Peak so that I can say I've done all the different peaks on the mountain.

"Bridge abort. Saw zero people out there on this solo attempt. Underestimated difficulty of crux and when I got there lacked confidence on the correct approach. When the chimney got vertical, looked to the left for holds, but everything kind of sloped away. So scrambled out of the crack on the right but a few moves in started to think there’d be no way to downclimb safely so retreated. Gave the chimney one final look before I concluded that I was in over my head. Really wanted to see all the cool stuff up there (the arch, tanks, hidden forest). But I made the right decision given my ignorance of the route. Alas. Tagged North Peak on way back for some epic views. Jogged the last couple miles on the road, great to be out.

"3.24.26~Lone Mtn Peak, 1 mile, 500’ gain in :36 min. Our Daughter Autumn sang the national anthem at City National Arena for a hockey event so we were on that side of town. We hiked the summit after a late morning 4.5 mile, 400’ gain, :53 min (2x~CC loop) jog on the path down below and around the peak. The current end of March 2026 heat wave made this 10am run hot. The hike was more comfortable. We saw 4 chuckwallas during the 2 activities." — paula.raimondi • Mar 24, 2026

"Nice to finally tick this one off. Meandered through Sandstone Quarry with Lisa and scouted a few sport climbs. We rejoined the normal trail after some minor bushwacking and stayed on course until the descent. While coming down stick to the left and you'll see a cairn marking a fun class 3 drainage area that is more direct than the marked trail. " — MikeERodriguez • Feb 17, 2026

"First time ascending Linden Canyon with H&SLV. The canyon is labeled class 4 by some but I would give it a strong 3 rating. It is steep and exposed but the hand & foot holds are plentiful which is the defining factor for me. We descended Stewart Canyon, also a first for me. Overall a very pleasant route with lots of good rock, & of course the views! Thanks to Kelly & Liza of H&SLV for the photos!" — DudeAlmighty • Jan 9, 2026
