Peak 4708 ft

"So much fun! We call it the Tanks-A-Lot route. A very compact scramble that offers class 3 to 5 climbs…and it’s your choice. Most everything can be down class 3 but we like to add the class 5…mainly 4. It’s a great route after a big rain or in the spring, when there’s a better chance of water being in all the tanks. Have fun! Be safe! Explore! " — Heartattackbruce • Nov 11, 2025

"9.25.25~4,708’ & Red Cap. 3 miles, 1,100’ gain in 2:27hr. CC Loop. Tropical moisture from CA had me drenched in sweat even tho I started early and was in the actual shade & the shade of clouds the whole time. Mosquitoes Harassed me. No wind. I ran into Mickey Mouse the cactus. " — paula.raimondi • Sep 25, 2025

"9.22.25~Thru 2 Seasons 2025, Summer to Autumn activity. 4 peaks~ Red Book, Calico (Tanks) Hills ll O’Lk, Calico (Tanks West)/Hills ll & 4,708’. 5mile CC Loop, 1,700’ gain. I started at Sandstone Quarry and Ran/hiked, in the shadows, south on trail on the West side of Red Book and up Guardian Angel Pass since it’s still a warm time of year to be scrambling out here. Eventually the sun caught me. There was cloud relief here and there but nary a breeze. I somehow walked right past the carving of the Angel not seeing it but I wasn’t going to back track downhill since I’ve seen it several times before. I did 2 Lumps I’d never been on, Calico (Tanks West)/Hills ll O’Lk & 4,807’. I consumed 45oz of fluids, some chips and an applesauce packet. " — paula.raimondi • Sep 22, 2025

"A compact, fun, challenging in places (if you want it to be) route that summits 7 peaks in just over 3 miles. We wanted to see if the rains over the last few days had filled up the multiple tanks on this route, but sadly, no. We altered the route from the usual way we had done it and added some exciting climbs and down climbs. What a great day!" — Heartattackbruce • May 7, 2025

"This route is becoming one of my favorites...especially after a rain storm. The tanks were full and clean. The attached track had some more difficult variations added to the route as well as a little side trip exploration after the last peak, Peak 4570. " — Heartattackbruce • Feb 23, 2024

"We summit the first peak, Chrysler Crack Peak, directly up from the Sandstone Quarry Parking lot (that section of the track is missing). The track that I attached is for directional purposes only. With the route finding that we had to do we were off of the best route a little here and there while we were looking for a way to proceed. As a backup on a couple of descents we used webbing, but afterwards realized that it wasn't necessary. Not a long route, only about 4 miles, but lots of interesting climbs and descents which means a lot of ups and downs. " — Heartattackbruce • Jan 24, 2024

"I normally do the 1st peak without gear, but have had a hard time convincing other to go with me. This report shows it can be made safe with 100' rope and friction knots or ascenders (and someone willing to lead)." — hwstock • Feb 1, 2022
