View N from 6921. "Town" of Carp, NV in distance. |
We took the route in red. Purple is if one can drive the BLM-maintained road to a guzzler, blue is a long hard day-hike from a good BLM-designated road. |
zoom out |
On way in to camp on Feb 23. Moapa Peak to SW (view from Carp-Elgin Rd.). |
Peak 5804 to NW. |
On Feb 24, view S to 6235 on last 4x4 road |
Tracy's pic of us and 6235 to SE, at end of last 4x4 road. Peak is actually a N-S fin, with 300' cliffs on N end, and 50-100' cliffs on S. |
Now we are cutting south along west wall of peak. It was occasionally brushy and had miserably loose talus in places. Pic: Bob. |

View to NW as we head around to SE side of peak. Pic: Bob. |
View down to SE from top of crux (pictures of crux below) |
View ~S, with 6921 to R. We've come up the crappy class 2-3 and are now just walking N to summit. |
View ~SE from top. Peak 5804 in left middle, and snowy Virgin Mts at R skyline. |
Summit |
View ~SSW with snowy 7365 in distance |

Another shot looking UP. Just class 3, but tricky footing. |
Resting on "level" ground. Crux is about 70' up to left at top of cliff. |
