| gimpilator | Buckhorn To Worthington Ridge Traverse Date Climbed: Sep 20, 2011 | |
| Both Buckhorn summits plus Iron and Worthington. 11.5 hours round-trip. It's pretty gnarly scrambling from Buckhorn to Iron. A video by Bryan: | |

| pingzingr | Good day Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2011 | |
| Nice day in the mountains. With the exception of the 3 hours on the scree field. DO NOT take the scree field up, there is a nice trail that goes from Marmot Pass to the top. | |

| fredzurensick | Awesome Date Climbed: Jul 10, 2011 | |
| When I was 12, I scrambled up the side of Buckhorn while my mom was having lunch on the trail below. I got to the saddle before going back. I've always wanted to return and climb the peak for real, and this past weekend I finally got to the top. Great hike with amazing views. | ||

| rasgoat | Nice, easy mountain | |
| Great day out, we saw a goat up real close and a bear from afar. the views were great. Careful if going anywhere near the saddle because we got held up in some class four downclimbing from the summit. The route up to marmot pass and to the summit from there was a pleasure, very fun & scenic. | |

| Kyle Bissell | Great Overnight Date Climbed: Jun 16, 2009 | |
| Myself and two buddies backpacked to Camp Mystery and spent the night. We woke up the next morning around eight, had a light breakfast, and made our way up the mountain. It took about an hour and fifteen minutes to get to the summit from Camp Mystery. The views were excellent! | |

| tleaf | Pretty dirty up there | |
| My husband and I headed up towards Marmot Pass, got a little crazy and climbed the steep talus slope, route I,3 to the col between Buckhorn's two peaks. I always love climbing the "never-ending scree slope" but it was well worth the effort. Much more interesting than taking route I,2. We enjoyed the mountain to ourselves and had great weather. | |

| bmwboarder7 | Lucky Beautiful Trip in March | |
| Somehow we ended up backpacking in the Olympics in March with clear weather for three days. Buckhorn had great views of the other mountains, as well as a view back down the valley towards the sound. | |

| SouthRaker | Route Climbed: Marmot Pass and south scree slopes Date Climbed: May 26, 2007 | |
| I spent a couple of nights at camp mystery over memorial day in '07. There was snow starting about 1/2 a mile before the camp, but it was quite consolidated and easy to hike in with just boots. The first night I headed up to scramble around on the south scree slopes of Buckhorn and ended up summiting since it was so close. No views due to the heavy clouds however... boooo. In the morning I headed up again, this time via marmot pass, and once again had no views. The scree skiing and glissading on the descents were ridiculously fun, and made up for the lack of views. I did manage to take advantage of a break in the weather at the end of the second night to get some pretty good views from marmot pass. All in all it was an amazing trip, I'll have to head back some time. | |

| lukic | Foolish but fun winter climb Date Climbed: Jan 27, 2001 | |
| I went solo during a very small break in the weather. After summitting, I was glissading down a snowfield when I needed to self arrest to stop. That made a believer out of me when it comes to ice axe leashes. | |

| NavySeabee | Fun scramble from Marmot Pass | |
| One of many Olympic peaks I scrambled up the mid-90s. Made standard approach from Marmot Pass. Views were spectacular as with most eastern Olympic Mtns. | |
