"12.3.19~Forlorn Hope & Peeper Benchmark/Volcano. 11 miles, 2,000’ gain in 4:02hr (and I made it for kids school pickups too) 8 miles of trail running to and from and 3 miles of mountaineering. These were really neat and I’m happy I got a lot of running in too. I encountered 4 tarantulas (3 when I was driving and I had to swerve a little to avoid smooshing them)...I also saw a kill zone with ravaged sheep hooves. Forlorn Hope was really special! It had a sheer cliff on one side and a small class 3 section for excitement. It’s hard to put into words how beautiful and peaceful it is out there. Heaven right here on earth and in my backyard.
I can’t get enough of these gorgeous peaks in Boulder City/Eldorado Wilderness.
Gimme more...." — paula.raimondi • Dec 3, 2019
"This was a great day with a fun group! We drove out to Peeper Benchmark first. We ascended & descended roughly from the West. We loaded back into the Jeeps and drove to Yucca Camp Road, where we started part 2 of our hiking day. We parked near the base of the north ridge of Yucca Camp Mountain and followed that ridge up. This was way more fun that any of us thought! It was a nice, exposed class 3 pseudo-knife ridge, with great views along the way. This was the highlight of the day. We descended to the SE, to the saddle between Yucca Camp Mountain and Midway Peak, then ascended Midway Peak via the West slope. Nothing special here. We were going to make our way over to Pilot Mesa as well, but decided to call it a day while we were all in good spirits." — Kevin • Jan 21, 2018
"First of three summits today! :) A blustery day - if we could have quieted the wind, it would have been an incredibly gorgeous, perfect day. As it was, it was pretty great, but daaaarn was that wind bitingly cold. Probably why I wasn't stopping to take too many photos. Lava rock is always such an interesting thing to hike up/over.
