"I parked just after Cloudview Rd turns into a dirt road, heading west, and took the Goldmine Trail to the east-west fence that is the boundary to the national forest. There is a gate there, and then a trail, but I left the trail and began to head up to the base. From the base the climb was steep, but there was a lot of rock and less vegetation. I headed to the next highpoint, then back the way I came." — ZachTeich • Apr 3, 2020

"After summiting peak 3805 to the west, I headed over to this one. The ridge was very nice, and the views into the canyon and of the Superstition front range were excellent. I thought about continuing up to 4869, and then over to the other highpoints to its west, but decided not to. I headed back the way I came." — ZachTeich • Apr 3, 2020

"2nd time around, but this time using the North Wets ridge to climb up. It is no trail on this ridge, so you just make your way up through bush and rocks. The way down we took the old trail to the housing." — nandorszotak • Apr 3, 2020

"Another day of getting out of the house hiking locally and enjoying the sunshine. A nice breeze at times to keep the day from hotting up too much. Plenty of others out enjoying in the fresh air as we do our dosey-do of social distancing. Most keep it friendly with a genuine Hi or How you doing while the few keep too themselves with stern looking faces....boo hoo. An out and back of Breakneck Ridge from the small Brook trail PA then down to the Tiorati Circle PA in Harriman for another O&B with less sun and more clouds." — Nimblefoot • Apr 2, 2020

"4.2.2020~6.5 miles, 2,000’ gain *update on my quest for “The Pinnacle”~GOT IT! Free solo, not having to deploy my webbing. (Bonus, Red Fox peak) 3rd time was the charm. I went alone this time. Previously I brought my Husband but he watches me with worry and asks me “why do you do dangerous things?”....being alone I can concentrate on the climb, the route and not stress him out. The helmet gave me a feeling of protection too. It was a thrill ride and sketchy but I took it slow and was careful. What a beautiful Spire. So, so satisfying to be independent in the mountains. I checked out it’s neighbor Red Needle to see if I would consider climbing it. It is even more advanced. Up close it’s less terrifying. I will go soon (solo) with some equipment and give it a go. #thepinnacle #redneedle #solo #independentfemalemountaineer #freesolo #spires #determination #neversaynever " — paula.raimondi • Apr 2, 2020
