Meadow Valley Mountains high point
About an hour and a half from Henderson, and 10 miles from hwy 93, I started up from Kane Springs Road towards the high point of the Meadow Valley mountains. It got windy up high, but below the west side of the ridge all was still and very comfortable. Another great hike.
Some of the scattered wreckage en. rt., Delamar Mountains in the distance.

Very cool stuff, you get out into some pretty remote spots! If you are ever wandering around out there and run into huge limestone alcoves like these found in the Mormon Mountains, let me know.

Nice report goofball. Any exposure on the route?
Shaggy's top photo looks like the climb featured on a First Ascents episode last year. They gave the name of the peak -- but I forgot it. It was "about 2hrs NW of Vegas and required a long Jeep ride and then a hike to get to" if I recall.

Was it Chris Sharma climbing it on the movie Jamal? It was probably Clark Mountain, the route he did there was called Jumbo Love and is insane! Ya Brian, from Kinders blog, ha. He just says Mormon Mountains, bad road and steep hike but looks worth it. I'd guess the locals in St. George would tell you where it is, especially if you are interested in helping develop it. One of these days I need to learn how to plug bolts so I can help contribute to new route development as well. Sorry Jason for hijacking your thread.
