| calebEOC | 2nd mountain of the day Date Climbed: Oct 18, 2008 | |
| Combined with Lassen summiting these two in a day makes for a respectable little bit of hiking. Fewer people on this peak, and the views were better (at least this hazy day). This peak made the 350 mile drive worth the investment. | |

| When the young, cute, ranger smiled at our (single) friend and asked us what we had climbed, I replied: Brokeback mountain. | |

| Great hike! Having done Lassen Peak four times previously, this hike is every bit as spectacular, and infinitely more enjoyable. As opposed to interminable switchbacks, this trail has forest, meadows, trees, and excellent trail the whole way. The first people I met on the trail, was on my way off the summit! | |

| With my son. A fun hike. Nice views of Lassen and the Brokeoff summit for lots of the trail. Very windy on top, gusts to 40 mph, but not cold at all. Up in 1:45, down in 1:05. Recommended. | |

| Diggler | Trail... with snow! Date Climbed: Oct 13, 2007 | |
| Still appreciable snow from the recent storms (virtually melted out at TH to a few ft deep in places!) made for wet conditions, but beautiful scenery. Really nice forests along the way, & views of Lassen were unbeatable. Got a few glimpses of mighty Mt. Shasta through the clouds. Left TH @ 12.17, summited ~15.56 & hung out at summit for about an hour, returning to car @ 18.56 (parties behind me got back in dark- hopefully they had headlamps or warm clothes!!). Great day. | |

| Celebrating my birthday weekend. Nothing like bagging a county highpoint with the wife. A very cool hike, prefer this peak over Lassen. | |

| A nice hike to the summit. A lot more fun than Lassen Peak, more wildlife and a nice swim at Forest Lake on the way down, and nobody on the trail. Realized there is enough time to climb Lassen and Brokeoff in the same day. | |

| I recommend Lassen in the morning before it gets crowded (i.e. 9am) and Tahama after lunch although bring lots of water the first couple miles in the forest were hot. Definitely appreciated the diversity of scenery and vegetation (vs Lassen). | |

| Solo. Nice hike, but f'in hot. Stopped and took a nap in the shade. I wanted to traverse to Mt Lassen, but couldn't find a safe place to descend to the ridge. Hitched hiked back to Summit L campgrounds. | |

| A quick day hike with Rick Kent. Snow all the way from the SW entrance parking lot. Rick had snowshoes and I didn't = some postholing. Still we made up & down in 3 hrs or so. Killer view down the north face of Brokeoff. | |

| Enjoy great views without the crowded summit. The meadows and alder groves on the way up are lovely. | |

| highice | north face , winter | |
| the year may have been earlier, but I finally found a nutty partner to join me on a line I had been scouting for years. We did it in Febuary and it was a fine alpine climb of AI2, WI3, 5.6. very unstable rock, expect manky belays. Surmounting the cornice at the top was the grand finish! leave enough rope to get you past the fracture line to belay the 2nd! it was about 30 ft back when we did it. another variation to our left was climbed the following season by a different party. | ||

| Hiked Snow Mtn around noon, Brokeoff in the late afternoon. The weather was crappy all day and I got no views on either peak. Sigh. Trip Report | |

| surgent | Crowds? | |
| A day after the congestion on Lassen, my wife and I hiked this lovely, underrated peak and saw only 10 others the whole day. Somehow she got a bee in her sweatpants! | |
