"Hiked up Pine Creek to take a different route up to Gunsight Notch Peak from the west ridge. From there, we traversed to Juniper Peak. The traverse was super scenic with 1 rappel. We took the standard route down Juniper Peak back to the Pine Creek TH." — Kevin • Nov 16, 2019
"11.13.19 Juniper Peak w/ Karla. 8 miles, 2,500’ gain. I had a time deadline....and of course my route finding on the approach was horrible wasting time and leading to Karla getting an a$$ full of Beavertail Cactus needles. That bad cactus has a variety of needles sizes for difficult extraction. (Sorry Karla!) Besides all that, we had another wonderful adventure. Karla enjoyed her 1st time on this peak. I made it to the school in time for Summer’s Conference. This route is amazing. Trail running, bouldering, scrambling and peakbagging. What more can you ask for?!" — paula.raimondi • Nov 13, 2019
"4.11.19~Juniper Peak, 8.25 miles, 2,500’ gain. I started from the Red Rock Loop exit. I saw a snake, burros, Spring flowers and climbers. I did this peak for the 1st time a year ago and it was my 1st time doing a challenging solo sandstone summit with creepy steep slopes and drop offs. It sits between Rainbow Peak and Bridge Mtn. It is a fun and scenic obstacle course workout with trail running, mountaineering, bouldering, scrambling and route finding. It’s quick enough to do before I have to pick up the kids from school. Beautiful day. Suns out, buns out..." — paula.raimondi • Apr 11, 2019
"Harlan Inspired my Summit Victory today. Thank you for your kindness, friendship and mentoring. With your help I have summited mountains that I thought were unattainable for someone like me. I’m truly grateful. I finally ascended Juniper Peak!!! And I did it alone... No, it’s not the most important or the most special peak on the planet but it is a big big success for me. In the last year I’ve tried to do this Peak 4 other times (twice alone/twice with friends) and quit every time in the same place. The angles of the Sandstone and the way it seems to spill over the edge into oblivion just triggers fear in me and gives me vertigo. People also have told me that there is a ramp climb on the final section and I was uneasy about what that would be like. I never noticed a ramp at the end but I agonized about getting through a rabbit hole near the summit that was very intimidating. The only way to avoid it was a weird slanted exposed climb to the left, right before it. I climbed back and forth to convince myself I could get back safely...It took all my courage to sit on top of this peak today and I’m so happy! 5th time is a charm!
I didn’t park in the right spot so I did mucho extra cred..." — paula.raimondi • Apr 18, 2018
