"5.7.26~Bridge Mtn #29. Out and back Willow Springs. It’s been exactly 2 years since I’ve been on top. It was really hot. I started at 8am but even the beginning parts were uncomfortably hot. Nary a breeze as well. I felt rusty. I hit my head on a tree and it made a funny hollow sound. I knew it was empty in there. I saw a snake and a cloud was making weird and funny shapes. Bugs were plentiful. I never saw another person the whole time once past the parking lot. " — paula.raimondi • May 7, 2026

"Skipped the last day of a conference in Vegas to get on top of an ultra-prominent peak. Time well spent. AK and I were up and down in 8h 17m. Some fast people up there! Met a guy who completed the loop in 6 hours, but he said it was very dangerous! Snow was ice on the morning ascent. Spikes were probably the efficient choice, but there were some sections where crampons would have been the safe choice. Cold at the top, below freezing, snowed on our descent. Warmed up in the switchbacks. Great day in the mountains!" — zachmitch • Apr 24, 2026

"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.

"Went up the service road from the south near Goodsprings. I expected it to be boring and tedious (I'm not much of a road hiker), but it was unexpectedly lovely. Did a little side exploration as well. " — tracyt • Mar 15, 2026
