"First 2 miles or so are pretty steep, but after that, it's a lot more manageable. Fire road all of the way to the summit makes for an easy way all of the way to the summit and the fire tower. The actual summit itself is a tiny class 2/3 scramble, but at least somebody left a ladder there to get off the ground." — marc • Dec 22, 2024

"Started the hike from Pipeline Road, after exiting I-40 east of Barstow. The drive was doable with high clearance 2WD. The hike is a gradual climb of Ord Mountain road south of Pipeline Road. On the summit are communication buildings and a benchmark." — MikeTeeples • May 11, 2024

"Truth be told- I did not hit the high point of each peak(except San Jacintos peak). I was more focused on doubling up the gnarly ass Cactus to Clouds trail, a Cactus to Clouds to Cactus! I’ll head back soon at a leisurely pace and hit each peaks highest point…. ….i hope it’s soon…." — Air-in • May 4, 2024

"Clark Mountain you kicked my butt today. We chose to go up and down the class 2 route because we had our dog. The peak has awesome views as for the hike I think I managed to put my hand in every cactus along the route. Even with the cactus this was another perfect day and a great way to end desert peak bagging season before it gets too hot. " — maggielynn • Apr 16, 2024

"Route going up the ridge visits plane crash site. Getting to the crash site and from there to the ridge probably wasn't an optimal route, but it worked. On the ridge there is one short spot we traversed the left side that was a pretty exposed short class 3 bit. Later we dropped to the left side from the ridge navigating below it. We climbed back up a bit I'd call hard class 3 / easy class 4 that was about 40-50ft going straight up. This bypasses a section I had seen in other routes that had a traverse on the ridge that required you to navigate a narrow down-sloping ramp. I don't think I'd want to down climb this bit (unless you used a rope/webbing to assist). From here a little more short class 3 climbing and anything remaining was class 2. Going down the west side was pretty straightforward, but as we got back near our vehicle, the route I chose was a bit brushy and loose. There might be a better path there.
