| MValentine | Old Army Pass  Date Climbed: Sep 29, 2012 | |
| Made the day hike despite a late start. We had to hike back for an hour or so in the dark, but it was a beautiful full moon and a warm night. Most eventful part of the hike was seeing a glider come straight at the peak and pull up at last second to buzz the peak. | |

| Heather and I opted for the snow chute at Old Army Pass, very tasty climb. Tagged summit, no big deal, been there done that before. Then down-climbed Old Army trail...phew... pretty tense with variable snow conditions and the fear of rockfall. Perfect weather. Great trip! | |

| Not that bad of a slog, nice scenery. The last hour to the summit is the sandiest and more of a slog | |

| We also made it up the pass very quickly, but assending the ridge took a loooong time! We did the 4th class boulders right in the middle, which was a real fun scramble to the top. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! | |

| Maybe its just me, but I flew up to the pass and everything after that seemed endless. Great other-worldly expanse. | |

| CNC Dave | Great Dayhike Date Climbed: Jul 15, 2007 | |
| Nice cool and cloudy day made this trip sweet. Usually hit both passes two or three times each year. The lakes basin here is gorgeous, good camping and fishing. Some of the fast guys can dayhike to the Miter or Pickering from Horseshoe. | |

| justinjohnsen | Still a snow patch Date Climbed: Jun 22, 2007 | |
| Army Pass still had a snow patch up top when we hiked it last Friday (last 50' or so). Pretty thick and icy, nobody had crossed it recently. We followed others' footprints and climbed the rocks around it. Other than that, no snow around Langley. Awesome views from the top, and enjoyed some mild class 3 stuff on the south slope on the way down. | |

| Went up Old Army, went back via New Army. I like Old Army better! By August there was just a teeny little patch of snow that we had to cross going up Old Army. | |
