Phoenix 7 Summit Challenge (2nd time): Begin at 0500, and complete 7 hikes for a total of 22.8 miles with AEG of 5600 feet within 12 hours.

1) Sidewinder to Ridgeback Overlook (2.85 miles, 483 feet AEG, 44 minutes): Began at 0520. Many people had started at 0430, and a number of them were finishing as I was starting. Completely dark except for the headlamps. Flat for almost a mile, then a nice ascent to the peak, then back down. Nice warmup, fun.

2) Lookout Mountain Summit (2.89 miles, 640 feet AEG, 53 minutes): Flat / mediocre for the first mile, then more interesting after that as the slope increased. The last 200m consisted of light scrambling to reach the peak. This was fun.

3) VOAZ peak from Dreamy Draw Trailhead (3.14 miles, 537 feet AEG, 52 minutes): First 200m on concrete walkway. Some nice views of the surrounding peaks. The official route was not marked, and there were multiple forks, so there was occasional confusion about which way to go, but we figured it out. This felt a lot shorter than it was, and felt like we reached the "peak" quickly. This was fun too.

4) Piestewa Peak (2.33 miles, 1151 feet AEG, 84 minutes): Better than last year. Just kept climbing up, stopped at the top for about 5 minutes. My knees were feeling it on the way down. This area was supposed to be closed off for the event, and parking was no problem, but there were still many people on the trail.

5) Las Lomitas Trail to Ranger Summit (3.62 miles, 940 feet AEG, 74 minutes): Las Lomitas trail was boring. Ranger Trail became interesting with decent views after it crossed the road and began climbing. There were great views at the top. Made some new friends on this one.

6) Alta Trail (3.28 miles, 786 feet AEG, 72 minutes): The official starting point was not at the trailhead but further back on the road. This one had a number of switchbacks, and felt a LOT longer than it actually was. The views were decent.

7) Holbert Trail (4.65 miles, 991 feet AEG, 126 minutes): This one was fun, with good views along the way, some mini scrambling, and a lot of people (many of whom were doing the 4 or 5 summit challenge). Good vibes all around.

There was also a total of over 2 hours of driving between trailheads. The sky was overcast most of the day. Overall a fun day and a good challenge. Hamstrings were pretty sore at the end. Spent about 10 minutes at the festival afterward, enough to pick up our free food/drink, then head back home to the shower and hot tub.

Not too shabby of a hike completed three weeks post appendectomy. Well organized, fun romp but likely one and done for this circuit. I was happy to have Kriket along for company on summits 2, 4 & 7. Dreamy Draw start sixteenth of 104 finishers. 8:55:44 total time.

Phoenix 7 Summit Challenge: Begin at 0500 (the toughest part of the challenge), and complete 7 hikes for a total of 25 miles and AEG of 5600 feet within 12 hours.

1) Apache Wash Trailhead - Sidewinder - Ridgeback - Ocotillo Loop (5.04 miles): Began at 0520. Went counterclockwise. Completely dark except for the headlamps. Mostly flat, with a few ups and downs, with a hill near the end. Nice warmup. Decided to run down the hill, tripped on a rock, fell hard, and got a cholla stuck in my right glute. I couldn't see the cholla, so it remained there until the end of the loop when a staffer kindly removed it.

2) Deem Hills Ridgeline (3.2 miles): Nice, simple out-and back with a slightly steeper climb. Overall enjoyable. Views were decent, especially on the back end. A lot of views of the surrounding neighborhoods.

3) Dixie Summit Trail (3.17 miles): This was fun. Another out-and-back. Some nice views of other peaks along the way. A number of switchbacks to reach the summit.

4) Lookout Mountain Summit (2.83 miles): Mediocre for the first mile, then more interesting after that as the slope increased. Some fun, easy scrambling to reach the peak.

5) Shaw Butte Trail (3.9 miles): This one sucked. First mile flat and boring, then a steady, unrelenting ascent (20-30°) on a wide dirt road, with a few flat stretches and a couple turns. Views are poor the entire way. Very tedious, felt like it took forever to trudge up this one. The views at the top are the worst because the radio towers clutter up the summit.

6) Piestewa Peak (2.37 miles): I've done Piestewa a few times. It hits different when you've already done 18 miles prior to tackling this one. Took a number of rests, thought about giving up, then finished it.

7) Holbert Trail (4.76 miles): Felt better after surviving Piestewa and slamming a Red Bull. Nice trail. Fun. Good views along the way and at the top. There is a parking lot at the top, and the lookout area is crowded with people who drove up there, which diminishes the experience. Everyone on this trail was exuberant that this was the last hike of the Challenge, so good vibes all around.

Averaged 17-20 minutes/mile for the first 3 summits, 21-23 mins/mile for the next 2, 48 mins/mile for Piestewa (including all the resting and sobbing), and 29 mins/mile on Holbert.

There was also a total of over 2 hours of driving between trailheads.

Excited for next year!

Modified version of the 7 Slag Piles Challenge, good for a workout and plenty of views of metro Phoenix (boy we have a lot of golf courses). Staying in the same general area kept the total driving between trailheads to 31 miles / 90 minutes.

One last challenge finished before traveling to Guatemala to climb three volcanoes and then Mexico to climb iztaccihuatl and Pico de Orizaba, both volcanoes that i wasnt able to summit back in January due to unforseen circumstances.
For the Phoenix Summit Challenge i joined a couple friends who were taking part of the PHX7 part, of the seven Phoenix summits (Alta, SoMo via Holbert, Piestewa, Dixie, Lookout, NorMo and Shaw Butte) i was able to do 6 of them because Alta was a parking lot shuttle for paying participants.
There was many people at the 5AM start at Alta Peak and was the same at Piestewa Peak but the herd really started to thin out after peak 3 at Dixie Mountain, parking at the remaining THs became progressively easier as the day went on.
Im not much of a city hiker, my biggest gripe of all these trails was the paved section at North Mountain and part of Shaw Butte. My favorite of these six trails i was on was Holbert trail at SoMo.
Since i wasnt able to get the $75 ticket to officially "participate" on this event i didnt have a passport where everyone was getting theirs stamped at every peak but the volunteers gladly were stamping my arm (though the sweat erased them almost immediately). I finished the last peak at 410PM (Holbert) and was ready to go home and relax but instead a couple of other hikers gave us their dinner tickets and i readily accepted the free food from the food trucks at the event. Much needed beer was at the event as well with taps from North Mountain Brewery, Mission and Sun Up.
Overall my fellow hiking friends and i had a great time at the trails and could possibly do it again next year.

Denny and I decided that we had to do a repeat New Years Eve hike sporting our stylish attire.

We made the last minute decision to stay close to town and try to attack the 7 Peak challenge.

So it was Squaw Peak at 6am in the dark to begin. I was surprised that there were people finishing at 6am when we were starting. Also surprised that there were people climbing it without a headlamp on a moonless night. This hike seemed easier to me in the dark. Snapped a Self Summit photo.
#1 Done

Next it was off to Camelback. This one was our biggest concern for the day. The Web site says it opens at sunrise, and we knew we'd be there just after sunrise. With the parking problems over there, we were concerned we'd get a spot. When we pulled in all the spots on the street and the lot were full. Joe's favorite pair of officers were controlling the crowds. Just as we were getting ready to make the turn out of the lot, someone returned, and we were in the front row! This was actually my first time up Camelback. Now I can say I've done it. I don't care for the crowds. Had our Summit picture taken,
#2 Done.

Now off to South Mountain and the Holbert Trail. Another trail I've never fully done. Quite pretty. I enjoyed the petoglyphs at the beginning. We made our way to the Gila Lookout, south of the TV towers, and had our summit picture taken by a decked out road biker. On the way down Holbert saw two mountain bikers crash, one right at my feet. Those guys/gals are nuts.
#3 Done.

Now back up north, to hit up North Mountain. A steep climb up some rough rocks to get to the pavement that takes you to the top. Had our Summit picture taken.
#4 Done

Shaw Butte was next. Now I'm getting to the point that I just want to get these done.
Up to the top past a decorated tree and cactus with a Santa hat. Had our summit picture taken
#5 Done.

Off to Shadow Mountain. I took Denny on the Scenic route to get to this peak. It was a steep bugger getting up. Running on empty now, but only one more to go. Took our Self portrait Summit Picture at the top.
#6 done

Now Lookout Mountain to finish things off. I'm really beat now, this climb is mostly a blur. Made it to the top, had our summit picture taken taken by a nice couple. We told them we just completed the 7 summits and told them what they were. They asked us how many days it took us.
#7 Done

It was nice doing our second annual NYE hike. Always fun hiking with the Turtle.

Summit 7 of the challenge. Came off North Mountain, hooked up with Christiansen for a bit and then jumped (or in my case limped) onto the Shaw Butte Trail.

Completed that 7 summit challenge on Friday. The trails included Holbert, Ranger, Piestewa, Mohave, Lookout Mountain(circumference/summit), North Mountain and Shaw Butte. Including drive time it took a little over 8 hours to complete the challenge. Weather was beautiful for this event, slightly overcast and windy at times. Got to Holbert trail around 6am with about 150 other enthusiasts. Slow going at first, because there was a kongo line going up the trail...you could only go as fast as the person in front of you, and initially there were quite a few people in front of me. By the time I got to Ranger trail the line of hikers started to disperse as the different paces of people started to separate them. Piestewa trail was nice, but crowded. You had the event, plus your usual allotment of morning hikers. Mohave was the easiest of the seven offering a nice cool down after Piestewa. From here, I drove to Lookout Mountain and did the circumference and summit trails. I had been drinking alot of fluids along the way, but at this point I started to tighten up in my calves. Parked at the North Mountain Vistor Center and took the Christiansen and a connector to North Mountain. Trail trail is easy because it is all paved, but it is also all uphill. I was really feeling it as this point. I was dreading Shaw Butte, but it was the last one so I soldiered on. Felt great when I got to the top and got the seventh stamp in my passport. In total did a little over 23 miles in doing the 7 summits.

We decided to go out the week prior to the City of Phoenix' annual event because we wanted to include actual SUMMITS.
Completed our 7 summits in 10:40 (includes driving, food, and hiking time).
Below is our order (hiking times are TH to TH)
1. South Mountain-Holbert (Mineral Road Lot to Dobbins Lookout and back): 1:15
2. Camelback-Cholla: 1:15
3. Squaw Peak: 1:10
4. Shaw Butte: 1:10
5. North Mountain: :45
6. Lookout Mountain: :35
7. Shadow Mountain: :35
Total Hiking Time: 6:45
What a BLAST! Exhasting and hot (an unbelievable 94 degrees at the end of October) but very rewarding. Will definitely be an annual event.

Though Phoenix mountains never reach higher than the 4000 range especially Esterella, they have great hikes, that can be ball busters. some of the hardest trails I ever walked up are the Phoenix surrounding mountains. The rockies where easier for me than these mountains.

Papago is got to be the strangest place I been to in awhile besides the Chircuahua. I call this park Dinosaur DO-DO. The caves is a wonderland for exploring. forget the trail, and just play like a child. I made it to the top several times, and is a easy walk up, but if you are afraid of heights then maybe you should stay on the bottom part. lol. Though small in size it has a punch of enjoyment to offer.

South Mountain in the summer heat is a freakin killer, but I have hiked many of the trail and all the new ones of Ahwatukee most people never even heard of. I live right at the base of South mountain, and so I walk it a lot. The Ahwatukee side is almost always alone on the trails. Gila trail is a great hike to Telegraph pass.

Pist. - Squaw peak is surely a ball buster if you are not ready for it. only one mile to the top, but you will think you hiked 10 before it is over, but the view is a great one from up there. I feel so out of shape when 70 year olds are passing me 3 times on this trail. I just dont get it, how they are doing it so quickly. I am surely humbled by the Phoenix Hiking Machines that trek this mountain daily.

Camelback - is surely the Knee buster hill. I have hiked this mountain once the whole way, starting from the golf course and ending up on the other side. This one put me out of commission for 2 months, since I had 2 knees surgeries and had my cartilage removed. It is an easy trail but again if you are not ready for it, it can be a killer trail. I hear all the time people dying on this trail, if that is true or not, i am not sure, heck I am an eastern Smoky Mt man who just moved here.

I havent done North Mountain, Usery, or Esterella so if you wanna go with me and you walk slow, then look me up, I am ready. Plus I am ready to bike all the Canal trails in Phoenix as well, since it is easier on my knees.

A Challenge for sure. How can you expect it not to be when you have Camelback and Squaw Peak as hikes #2 and #3, with four more peaks to go. :)

Lots of fun. I ran most of Shaw Butte which was an uphill drain.

Second pass through on the 7 summits challenge. Completed with Wife and Sister-In-Law. Always hard. Harder due to slower pace of wife and heat.
