Glad to see this bumped up again. I was surprised it didn't make Chris' email summary, as it definately represents the best of the Forum.

I did this hike on a nice winters day a few years ago with my then girlfriend. It is a fine hike and a rewarding summit. Glad you left it in place as it is enjoyed by many who are not climbers. I plan to do it again with my son and grandson when he gets a little older.
Enjoyed your report.

Yeah, I bumped it, 'cause I read it again.

I've driven by Picacho probably 10 times since.
Feels much better knowing i've stood on the summit...with my dog, even.

wait a minute here. there was a guy bouldering with me and dr. F before the gordonfest who identified himself as "jefe". had a red beard, the whole nine yards. i brought up his post about picacho peak, since i've driven past there myself and thought about climbing the thing "because it is there". oh, yea, yea, this guy said. yea, did it with my dog.

then drljefe comes on here the following week and says he never left arizona. we figured out the guy at the gordonfest was a bigtime imposter. he was hustling the top 3 hottest women there based on the real jefe's reputation.

someone needs to straighten this out.

I'm glad I didn't chop it!
I took my flatlander brother and my nephews up there on New Years Day.

Isn't it great to share these kind of adventures with "the flatlanders"? They get such a thrill out of it and it's so much fun to watch them.

Does this count as the first Via Ferrata in the US?
