Superstition Peak 5057

Post by Mattrgrs12 »

Im looking to do the Superstion Peak 5057 via the Carney Springs TH tomorrow morning. Can anybody tell me if there is any technical climbing gear needed, what the weather is like at the top, and if the trail is well marked or not. Thanks for any info.

It's currently as well cairned as I've ever seen it. The weather will be perfect with a morning start. There is no technical gear required.

A bit of scrambling getting the last bit up the peak but other than that joe nailed it. It is an incredibly easy trail to follow especially once you actually get up on the ridgeline out of Carney Spring.

yea unfortunatly I did not have enough time to make it all the way to the peak. I did make it out of the carney spring and about half way to the peak. Im going to go another day to complete the hike when I know I have a full day to do it.

Check my photo set for jan 13 - trail is well marked. take lots of water although there is water available after you top out the West Boulder trail and head for the mountain.
