| Musisca | Calloway Peak via Grandfather Trail  Date Climbed: Jun 29, 2010 | |
| This was my second hike to Calloway Peak. This will likely always be one of my favorite climbs. Filled with steep ascents with wire railing to help you up and more than 50ft worth of ladders, this is always a good one to hike. | ||

| Tarponhuntr | Daniel Boone Scout Trail Over Nighter Date Climbed: Jun 29, 2011 | |
| Completed Daniel Boone Scout Trail to summit Calloway Peak. My self , 40 lbs of gear , and wife with 20 lbs. Had a wonderful lunch on the peak. However due to time constraints (daylight) , possible weather and water supply issue we had to abandon the complete thru hike to the "swinging bridge". Perhaps another time. | ||

| MarkDidier | From the Parkway Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2010 | |
| A great hike, starting from the Parkway near MM 300. We went up the Nuwati Trail and descended the Cragway. Excellent hike! Highly recommended. Although I would recommend ascending the Cragway and descending the Nuwati as the scenery is better on the Cragway! | |

| kavak | From Attic Window Peak Date Climbed: Sep 6, 2009 | |
| After all the shutes and ladders I finally arrived on the first summit of Calloway. Since I wanted to be sure I had ascended the highest point I went over to the second summit but was delayed by some owner's pets. Their dogs did not want me on top with them. But finally their owners tugged and pulled them away with no apologies notwithstanding. | |

| This was the last summit of the day along the Grandfather Trail before heading back to the car at the Black Rock trailhead. Great view and incredible hike. Even though this peak is the highest on Grandfather Mountain it was, to me, overshadowed by the rockier McRae Peak and Window Attic Peak. I wish there weren't any ladders. | |

| Just barely made it to Calloway before running back to the car because of lightning. I never knew I could sweat thatmuch that far above sea level. | |

| A nice yet hazy day. Took the Grandfather Trail the length of the summit ridge from the Swinging Bridge parking lot to Calloway. Got a chance to test out my new poles...a knee saver! | |
