"Lovely night hike up the Frenchman mountain. Ambient temperature as I started around 11p was 106°! A random storm cell appeared over Nevada and there was lots of lightning over the Air Force base. Luckily the storms were moving east and I was treated to a light show with a little extra humidity. Lovely views and interesting rock. " — MikeERodriguez • Jul 24, 2024
"11.4.23~3.75 miles, 2,200’ gain in 3:07hr. Out & Back a West Facing Ridge from the Temple/Bonanza. It was very warm with an 11:30am start & wearing thick sweaty leggings. There was a wedding at the Temple and a lot of dead roosters in bags at the top of Bonanza Rd.

"12.22.22~Frenchman Mtn w/Laszlo. He showed me the west facing ridge ascent. It’s a great route. I wanted to descend the Mtn road and get some jogging in so we split up after a summit snack and said our goodbyes. I jogged down from the summit to the road in :34 min. I’m not use to getting out as much so my quads felt heavy after the steep scamper down so the 4 mile loop run, down Lake mead & Hollywood Blvd back to my car at the Temple, was difficult. Laszlo was driving out as I was finishing up. He said the gully descent was steep and I was glad to have missed it. " — paula.raimondi • Dec 22, 2022
"Up the wash & down the ridge. Favorite route. Start: 5:37am. Beautiful as always, light breezes, 47 degrees at start, 64 at finish 10:07am. Took my brother visiting from Taiwan." — DudeAlmighty • Mar 2, 2022
"1.28.2022~Frenchman Mtn EZ Workout Jog. 4.5 miles, 2,200’ gain, 1:19hrs Round Trip. Up in :50min up, down in :29 min. It was really cold and windy. Wearing shorts wasn’t smart. At least I thought to grab a windbreaker before heading up. " — paula.raimondi • Jan 28, 2022
"Solo excursion to Frenchman to celebrate my 100th peak of all time. Noticed the peak to the south of Frenchman (Peak 3434) had 0 climbs logged in Peakery so decided to grab the 1st ascent and named it "Hundredth Peak" in recognition of my achievement. The peak itself is nothing extraordinary but the ridge scramble from Frenchman will definitely grab your attention. Continued to Frenchman NE (Peak 101) and Frenchman NW (Peak 102). Descended to the wash that runs west in between the 3 Frenchman peaks and followed it until i came upon a 20-30ft drop which had an anchor attached at the top. I didn't have any webbing or rope so opted to climb out of the wash and avoid the obstacle. I could see a 2nd anchor and subsequent drop further down the canyon. Great weather, could have used the breeze a little more. Clear day and afternoon dust settled over the strip. " — DudeAlmighty • Jan 13, 2022
"3.16.2021~Frenchman Mtn twin Highpoints & full South to North Traverse hitting points 2,805, 2,970’, 3,434’ & 3,911 along the way and a run on roads (Lake Mead & Hollywood) back to my car. Solo, 11 miles, 3,000’ gain in 4:27hrs. This was slow for me. I wasn’t feeling that great. This ridge tour of our local classic was spectacular. It even had a few dicey (yet fun) knife edge sections for a nice thrill. By the time I was done with the Mtn and jogging on roads, my legs felt heavy and dead. Not sure why. Maybe a mix of vaccine side effects and recovering from the ultra event I did a little over a week ago. Any hoo, it was a great day regardless. " — paula.raimondi • Mar 16, 2021
"Went up a very cool route I was shown by Ed Forkos to the peak, then descended the canyoneer rappel route with a car shuttle. Best day I've ever had on that mountain and that will be my main route from now on." — acekelly • Mar 14, 2021
"2.27.2021~Frenchman’s North & South High points. 4.5 miles, 2,300’ gain in 1:59hrs Round trip with my 12 year old Son Jimmy Jr. He did great for his 1st time up and was faster than most in-shape mountain runners. I was the 🥕 pacer and my husband kept him positive and he got a time of 2:03hr round trip, even with brief breaks at both summits! So proud of him. Temps were nice with a cool breeze now and again.

"Early morning start by headlamp, then daylight by the first saddle and sunrise over Lake Mead at the top. Great views of both Lake Mead and Las Vegas. My GPS tracked 4.06 miles RT in 3:32 with plenty of time at the top for a snack and photos. " — suebeauchamp • Jan 13, 2021
