Parky Peak (6235' in North Mormons, NV)

Pics by Harlan W S & Tracy F & Bob C
Feb 24, 2024

We first saw this peak from 5804 in 2019, where it looks like a very steep-sided fin; I commented that "it may not have a non-technical route." Tracy and I went to 6921 (a peak just south of 6235) in 2023, to photograph and decide if any route up 6235 looked non-technical. Accomplices: Tracy, Bob C, and Andy A.

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.

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.
