| Lost count of how many times I've been up it. All seasons. Favorite route is up Forest City, down Burrows. | |

| RhythmicMom | Great views on a windy day! Date Climbed: Jun 19, 2011 | |
| I think this was my first 4000ft in Vermont, nice birthday present! :) We climbed up Monroe Trail, missed a turn, made it to the Hut Clearing, then returned via the Long Trail until we met Monroe again. The last section of the road was very badly damaged by the last storms! In some places the water dug 3-5 feet into the road!! We had excellent weather for this climb, clear and sunny but not too hot. Very windy at the top, but this only made it more fun! The crowds were entertaining but only up to a point. Way too many dogs on the trail! :) The descent from the summit on the rocky face offered some beautiful photo opportunities and a little welcomed challenge! Loved that part, as well as the last ascent to the summit (just too crowded to fully enjoy it). Found the benchmark at the top of the mountain - that's always exciting! Not much wild life on the way - no wonder, with so many people... All in all a very nice hike, would do it again, especially if the road gets repaired and can skip the first portion :) | |

| nartreb | birthday hike for RhythmicMom Date Climbed: Jun 19, 2011 | |
| Up Monroe to Hut Clearing, south over the summit to Alpine Trail. I prefer Mt Mansfield -- way more alpine zone, so you have some chance of avoiding the crowds. Camel's Hump offers excellent views; I'll have to try it in the off season or on a weekday. I did enjoy the section of the Long Trail that traverses the south face of the Hump. Road to Monroe trailhead is washed out, parking at the View Trail lot was overflowing but everybody found spots along the road. | |

| Climbed this one in a fall sleet storm on a short backpacking trip on the Long Trail. Couldn't see anything from the top, but the rime ice was pretty spectacular. | |

| first experience on an east coast "mountain". Fun hike...looks like the southern face could hold possibility for some rock routes...perhaps some already exist. | |

| Tahawus | Camel's Hump Date Climbed: Jun 10, 2007 | |
| Climbed via the Burrows Trail from Huntington. My favorite mountain in Vermont. Climbed up early enough to see a thick layer of clouds in the valley. Beautiful alpine summit provided magnificent views of the crest of the Green Mountains and of the Lake Champlain Vally and the Adirondacks. | |

| TLP | Great Fall hike, would have like some more views Date Climbed: Oct 16, 2007 | |
| I took the Monroe Trail. The day started out cloudy and foggy, but eventually it cleared up... As I was making my way down the mountain. A really good time nonetheless | |
