"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.

"Terrific scramble. We ascended the summit via SE ridge Gained the ridge the right side of the standard route (Class 4 on downsloping slabs), followed by a knife-edge ridge. Wintery conditions with snow made it dicey. The rest was easy. We descended via South Ridge, which is largely a hike (Class 2). Despite a discernible trail with lots of cairns, I didn't find any information about this route online. A good loop for experienced scrambles.

"To escape the Vegas heat, we decided to drive across the CA border to bag Clark Mountain. At almost 8,000 feet, we figured it would be cooler. It was, but not by much. The hike was surprisingly nice with lots of great views, a knife-edge ridge & even a plane crash to see on the way down!" — Kevin • Jul 19, 2013
