"4.10.2021~Sheep peak, solo. 10 miles, 4,600’ gain in 7:18hrs. I took the ridge south of Wagon Canyon that went directly to the peak and returned the same way. I didn’t expect this trek to take as long as it did. The terrain was harsh and it was hot. I haven’t been in high elevation in a long time and I’m still very tired from my 2nd dose of the covid vaccine 3 days ago. Those are my excuses for being slow as f#ck. I was so slow, I was able to spot a 3mm heart rock on the ground (see photo) I didn’t expect my 2WD Kia Soul (with Costco tires) to make it the 14 miles off road to Cow Camp TH so I packed my E-Bike (just in case)....but as rough as the road was, my car surprised me again and made it within 1/10 of a mile! I had to go 10mph. This area is beautiful, remote and felt very lonely. There were snow patches near the top and stunted Bristlecones. It was neat to be among the pine trees again. The reg. dated back nearly 40 years but I’m sure there have been visits prior. Getting out to this hike is a hassle but well worth it. I’ve now done the 2 highest peaks in this Mtn Range. I drank all of my 2.5 liters of water. I had to sit and rest many times on the way up. I had a front row ..." — paula.raimondi • Apr 10, 2021

"Warm, low 60’s, very light breeze, blue skies with lost of visibility. Could see The Isle of Shoals to the east and Mt Washington to the west. Parts of an old ski lift are still standing." — dennisboothby • Apr 10, 2021

"With the past cooler weather solidifying the top layer+ snow settling/blowing into the drainage snow is pretty deep, knee high for the most part. Very easy to punch through, can be a slog (recommend snowshoes/poles) but relatively easy for the first 1/2. The second 1/2 of the hike is mostly a 45° but its very hard if not impossible to see the trail/ground; its very steep snow and easy to slip and slide down (like a "U" shaped valley collecting all the snow deposits). A little unsettling to cross vast portions of snow like this since there is nothing to grab onto once you fall. This is why as per my recording I ventured to the right side (towards Mt. Rimwall). Topped out and traversed the false summit back to the trail for the last 2-300m what I saw was a massive deposit of inclined snow in the narrow portion with the high winds wisping more snow onto it. Honestly the hike is beautiful, there is a flock of big horned sheep living there so that's cool! I would recommend this hike but not with the amount of snow currently settled. On a high note I did get to Glissade down the snowy portion, with extra caution of course." — Blasehead • Apr 10, 2021

"Hiked up from near the end of FR 586, Dutch Creek Road, took the southern ridge up and then around to the summit, back down on the northern ridge, not many paths, snow was unavoidable, slow going and deep in sections I broke through. Southern ridge was a much shorter route despite looking different once boots on ground. Great time overall." — timsclimbs • Apr 8, 2021

"Up via west slopes direct, took a service road down due to the weather. Note, the road passes through a private property for about a kilometre since Jul 2020. Parking either at Swaison Rd or by Birkdale Park. It's not obvious at the latter but need to take the closed road down for about 50-100m that would lead to the former." — alexp • Apr 8, 2021
