Ascent of Juniper Peak on 2011-05-22| Date: | Sunday, May 22, 2011 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Juniper Peak | | Location: | USA-Nevada | | Elevation: | 7209 ft / 2197 m |
Ascent Trip ReportI used Dennis Poulin's excellent 15 Apr 2011 trip report from this site. My mileages were a little shorter, but that's to be expected with a different odometer.
The last road up to the ridge was somewhat challenging in a RAV4, but after moving a few rocks off the road I made it.
Careful hand leveling in both directions confirmed that the southerly summit (near the bench mark, by the 6-foot cairn) is slightly higher than the northerly (and pointier) 7200-foot closed contour.
