"Took a direct adventure route up with some fun scrambling and not so fun bushwhacking. I'd recommend sticking to the standard route up to save some heartache. The last 1500 feet are kinda convoluted and I set some cairns to help guide future travelers. An over all trudge through the Mojave desert. Probably won't repeat." — MikeERodriguez • Jan 8, 2025

"Camped at Mahogany Flat the night before to get an early start, really pretty campground with views of Death Valley. Had an awesome sunset as well. Trail was looking great, some snow/ice up on the switchbacks but very clear for this time of year. Some wind at times but a nice day and we really enjoyed the hike. Incredible views from summit, Badwater Basin to the east and snow-capped High Sierra to the west." — jodola • Jan 2, 2025

"Challenging route finding near the top of Bridge. I missed a couple cairns and went up via scary Class 5 slabs. Found the advertised Class 3 on the way back, which would still be solid 4 in the Canadian Rockies." — Taras • Dec 23, 2024

"NOTE: there are two "North Peaks": one is sandstone and reached by a use trail (starting 2.4 miles from willow spring); and there is a higher limestone one as a spur off the official BLM Bridge Mt trail (the trail that starts at Red rock Summit, over 5 miles from Willow Spring). The limestone "North Peak" was renamed "Crest Peak" in a 2008 guidebook, and the latter name has stuck on some modern mapping apps. So be careful which one you actually want. I met some very confused people who were using Alltrails, which directed them to the sandstone north peak, when they really wanted the limestone peak.
57x up Bridge (I don't plan to log all in to Peakery). Another eye (after strabismus surgery), knee, pack test. All good, still not used to seeing with two eyes since 2018. I happened to intersect with an ultramarathon." — hwstock • Oct 23, 2024

"Favorite route to Charlie. I've done it 5 times now, trying 3 different descents. Today's was preferred, however all routes result in 8 hours almost to the minute.
The weather was fabulous up there today. " — DudeAlmighty • Oct 10, 2024
