| Awesome mountain....overall, probably the most outstanding scenery in all directions from the summit of any one mountain that I have been on in GNP to this point. Summitted with Cougar14 and a determined Kitty on a hot scorching day in Many Glacier. | |

| Nice mountain and nice climb. Four goats and four bighorns were waiting for us at the saddle. Good views of Mt. Wilbur and Allen Mountain. Taking a scree slide down the mountain is a good way for a quick descent. Climbed with Rebelgrizz and JFK. | |

| distressbark | from Many Glacier Hotel Date Climbed: Jun 1, 2008 | |
| Took great climber's trail past South America. Arduous scree slog after that. Amazing views of the entire Many Glacier Valley. Climbed again on June 30, 2009 via Natahkia Lake route. Great route; hanging valley above Apikuni Falls is wonderful, and the climb up to Natahki Lake was lots o' fun. Descent to Many Glacier Hotel was, unfortunately, quite eventful; dropped my Nikon off a 40 foot cliff. Surprisingly, two of my three lenses made it! Climbed again via Natahki Lake route on July 27, 2010. Took amazing scree run from the saddle down towards Many Glacier entrance road. Probably the best scree skiing I've encountered in the entire park. | |
