Ibapah Peak
My Dad wants to head out to the Deep Creeks sometime soon, and I figure as long as I'm out there I should hit Ibapah.
Is this doable as a winter hike? If so, do I need any technical gear?

I need to get this highpoint. Anyone up for a group hike later this spring/early summer??

Neat seeing the old heliograph station base still up there. Lonely in the winter, too...
Can be very deep sugar for miles...

You may have better luck from the west side. It's much shorter. You'll need permission from the Goshute tribe though. You wont make it far up Granite Creek in the winter. This is the east side route. Its a long steep trail. Here's some pics from my Ibapah hike last summer.
