Nepalese Woman Climbs Everest Twice in Two Weeks
Not likely that anyone is going to break this record for quite some time, but any peak is a challenge and so feel free to post info on any peak or mountain range that strikes your fancy!

I've also wanted to climb to the top of the ridge across the valley from Pioneer point, above the white spot. (I don't know it's name). Mostly because it's nearly directly across from my house. I drove up to gold bottom and hiked up the mountain from there several times last year. I was by myself and would have made it to the top the last time. But I got cliffed out and it would have been dark by the time I back tracked and found another way up. So I had to go back. My goal is to be able to walk or run from my house, cross the valley, climb to the top and walk/run back.

HINT: There's actually an old miner's trail that covers the last half mile or so to the white spot. Also it's almost as easy to start the hike from near the Ophir Mine (behind Valley Wells) as it is to start from the Gold Bottom Mine.
