| Why did we leave the snowshoes behind?! A well deserved summit, followed mountain lion tracks on the summit ridge. | |

| calebEOC | Up from the Marina Date Climbed: Sep 17, 2011 | |
| The trail from the marina climbs quite aggressively, especially the chute that gains the upper ridge. Tried moving into the forest to the left of the chute to stay out of the scree, this helped at times but was mostly a poor idea as there is lots of underbrush to contend with. Nice views from summit, especially Sacajawea, Hurwal, and the Aneroid ridgeline. | |

| Climbed from the Hurwal Divide from Thorp Creek. Great ridge walk thanks to the goat trail. Would recommend this route highly! | |

| Mr. Clam | Chief Joseph ridge Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2005 | |
| A friend and i decided to make a 3 day trip out the mountain by following the ridge from end to end. We crossed Hurricane Creek by log and headed strait up to the ridge. We camped on the ridge about an hour before the summit. We hit the summit then came down a scree chute on the ridge connecting Mount Joseph with the Hurwal Divide, camped and followed a treacherous creek bed back to wallowa lake (bad idea, involved some free climbing). (see trip report) | |

| I crossed hurricane creek by log and started up with no trails, connected with the ridge and followed it to the highest peak, then i followed the ridge connecting cheif joseph mountain and Hurwal Divide and slid down a chute about halfway. i then followed a treacherous creek bed most the way to wallowa lake. | |

| mrh | Route Climbed: East Ridge Date Climbed: July 18, 1998 | |
| Followed the trail to the second swithback, which gets one nearest the easternmost chute. Took that to the ridge line and basically followed it to the top. Actually its much better to travel in the trees along side the chute so one can have some solid footing. I did get off onto the south slope a couple times and found tough going in the juniper and boulders. My route is basically outlined in Barstad's book. Heck of a mountain. | |

| cjwhat | Route Climbed: First chute Date Climbed: July 11, 2003 | |
| Route isn't as straightforward as I expected. Being by myself didn't contribute anything to good route-finding decisions, either. But hey; the off-route climbing got me up to where I could take a good picture of the chute I was supposed to be in. (I'll add the route and picture soon). | |
