"Ski tour to summit of Red Mountain Number 3. Great pow down Champion. Altitude was hitting me hard all day, my heart was pounding in my chest all day. Resting up for a bigger objective tomorrow." — scott • Mar 27, 2023

"Black joined me this morning on a bluebird early spring day. 4" of powder on top of a good frozen trench. Micros door to door. Left at 8:15 and summited at 9am. Nearly calm and mid 20s at the summit with blue skies! Returned to car at 9:40." — garyogden • Mar 27, 2023

I visited the tower last year and wasn't able to make it all the way up because entire flights of steps were missing.
Today, I was expecting an unchallenging road walk followed by a short but steep push up the mountain. Those expectations went out the window after finding out that Holts Run Road is a dead-end street that abruptly ends less than 0.5 miles from its southern intersection with Route 280. The online mapping services that show Holts Run being a continuous road are WRONG! It's also worth mentioning that the northern entrance is blocked by a gate. I don't know if this is seasonal or not.
Not wanting to drive back and forth, I opted to park at the southern dead-end and approach 1,938 from there. Bushwhacking to the base of the mountain was an exercise in suckitude. It required sidehilling on a muddy slope, whacking my way through an army of thorns, and maneuvering around blowdown on the abandoned road that mysteriously disappeared and reappeared like a ..." — theascent • Mar 26, 2023
