Quartz Peak in the Estrellas and add in Butterfly Peak.

I have a lifted Grand Cherokee and would not hesitate to drive it. A lifted Wrangler should have no problem at all. Last time I hiked it a month or so ago a group of FJ Crusiers were coming down as I was going up. You will be fine. Even most of the trees have been cut.

Yes that is correct. Road from south is about the same as always. High clearance should be okay with 4x4 preferred for a couple spots. Chevy compact came in from the north. If you get out there and get in trouble feel free to call me for help. 602-478-5646.

You said not to include technical climbs and technically I don't know how to do technical climbs but I will tell you that on one of my Weavers Needle ascents (without gear) I had the full blown Elvis leg. On another trip up I slipped a little and it rattled my nerves. The most scared I have ever bee...

It is so sad and I thought they were closing it due to financial reasons during the summer but that was just me speculating. Anyway I know firsthand that it can get extremely hot at Picacho in the summer. The heat seems to radiate off of the dark rock. Personally I enjoy a good scorcher but it requi...

I was just alerted by Denny and confirmed that a 29 year old woman died this afternoon at Picacho Peak. She and her fiancé were hiking the Sunset Vista Trail. Authorities received a 911 call at 2:45pm. She was pronounced dead at 3:01. Officials believe the woman's death was heat related. I did a sea...

Rick Vincent is going to go up early. I may join his as tomorrow is going to be a hot one. If I don't get up that early I will be a part of the 7am crew. Currently there are about 12 between the start and the saddle. Rick is going to start from the top down. I will continue from where I left off and...

Skip the Citristrip we found a superior product. Krud Kutter Graffiti Remover. Way more effective and doesn't leave as much residue. I took back 5 cans of Citrisrtip I had for Saturday and bought a bunch of this stuff. Trust me on this one!

See everyone in the morning.

Next year.

Flatiron Blue Paint Removal Project Well if you haven't seen the Blue Arrows Leading up to the Flatiron in person you may certainly have seen photos of them. Last year someone put up Orange ones and we assembled a team to remove them. This year they are back and this time they are Blue. This is a Wi...

Angers me as well. Did they not learn from the first mistake? Caption should read 19 Bighorns and 3 large cats dead due to a failed idea by the Fish and Game Department.

I'm in! Thanks a bunch Pam for keeping the tradition going. I missed one but 3 out of 4 ain't bad as they say.
