"Surf’s Up! With real rock Waves! 10.2.2021, Full West to East Slabs (Knifes Edge) Ridge Traverse and Peak, 2.5 miles, 800’ gain in 2:10hrs in LMNRA. This scary Ridge is nearly 1 mile long. My Friend Stav’s style & creativity in the mountains inspired this difficult outing today. His web page stavislost.com is a wealth of info and inspiration for local peakbagging. (Support his page$$, no ads and he shares lots of info for mountaineering) The ridge kept enticing me along after the peak. The rock is like razor blades and my hands are slashed…I didn’t want it to end…so I took it to the very end. I cried tears of joy on the drive home. The mountains never disappoint. They are my best friends. I did this rarely visited peak yesterday too (up the South Face/Down the North Face) to scope out the monster ridge, place a summit cairn and register and to wrap my mind around the possibility. Today I woke with vigor and ambition for a win. 💕 https://youtube.com/shorts/x0QRAMcwFCY?feature=share https://youtu.be/zaML2CSgULg" — paula.raimondi • Oct 2, 2021

"10.1.2021…Slabs Peak. Up the south Face/Down North Face. I came to construct a tall cairn on the Highpoint and to leave a register, also to see its monster knifes edge and wrap my mind around the possibilities. Eeek. I went back the next day and did the full West to East Traverse. https://youtu.be/b1zRBKgqc8Y" — paula.raimondi • Oct 1, 2021

"Yuck! I really did not enjoy this peak. It is very rough. I had seen a possible route right below the summit(s) the last time I had been back this way & decided to give it a try. Drove out West End Wash Road to the spur road leading to this peak. West End Wash currently has very deep gravel. From the bottom looking up, I thought I could tell where the summit was. I made my way up the extremely steep south slope. With careful route finding, I was able to stay at class 2 almost all the way up, but there is lots of loose rock on the lower part. It is extremely steep...can't stress that enough! I made my way to what I thought was the summit. It was class 3 on huge, sharp limestone slabs to get up there. When I did, I looked over & realized that it was probably not the summit. Shit. So, I scrambled down off the big slabs & took a steep, side traverse over to what I think is the summit. I stayed entirely at class 2 to that one, though again, it was very steep & awkward across the narrow knife edge. From there, I could see yet another bump out the ridge that looked as high. That one was much easier to get to, so I quickly went over & hit that one too, then did a steep descent back to the ..." — StudioHoodoo • Dec 20, 2020

"We parked just off of Northshore Road and hiked the dirt road that runs between Slabs Peak and Knife Peak as a warmup. Once past the 2 mountains, we turned back and started up Slabs Peak from the NW. There was a lot of horrible talus, but we eventually made the ridgeline, which immediately turned into a knife-edge. We followed for a ways, but got to a spot that none of us really felt comfortable with, about 1000 linear feet from the summit. To pass, it would have required a super sketchy exposed traverse of a featureless flake, which none of us were up for today. We descended pretty much the same way we came up, then made our way to the north side of Knife Peak, looking for a non-technical way to the obvious saddle. We found one that worked and made our way up. Nothing terribly difficult, but it was loose and steep. Once at the summit, we had a snack and came down the south side, which was trickier than it looked from the top." — Kevin • Dec 10, 2017
