| I was lonely the entire day. It was wonderful weather and great trip. I gave up my plan to go for Alice since I was tired. | ||

| Climbed with Scot from Wild Basin, up to Lion Lake #2 and then up onto North Ridge (which is actually on Chiefs Head's south side) to the summit, traverse to McHenrys and then back down. We wanted to climb Mt Alice but weather moved in. | |

| argothor | Sandbeach Lake to Chiefs Head Date Climbed: Jun 19, 2010 | |
| Backpacked in to Sandbeach Lake, and then on the following day hiked up to Mt. Orton, followed along North Ridge to the the southern flake of Chiefs Head. From the summit there are very nice views of Longs' western side, looking down on Spearhead, the Mummy Range and the summits of numerous peaks on the west and south side of the Wild Basin. Glorious day, the weather was beautiful. | |

| Timothy Pearl | PCH couloir Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2010 | |
| With Mikey B. Like he said below. And I'm now living proof that you can get a decent sunburn on a rainy/snowy whiteout day. 5800' vertical, 13.5 miles, 16 hours. In crampons for at least 7 hours. OOoof. | |

| MikeyB | Up the Pagoda/CH col. Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2010 | |
| Long day in rain/snow with Tim P. from Glacier Gorge in less than ideal conditions. Will have to go back on a sunny day to take in the missed views. Hard to find Stone Man Pass in the whiteout/cloudy cover, so we reclimbed and descended the col. Overall, a fun col. to climb! | |

| tomlauren | Orton - Chiefs Head Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2008 | |
| Hiked both peaks after a camp at Sandbeach Lake. Amazingly good views of Mt Alice, The Spearhead, Glacier Gorge, and the Pagoda-Longs-Meeker trio. Visited Keplinger Lake on the way back to camp. | |

| SarahThompson | From Sandbeach Lake TH Date Climbed: Mar 11, 2007 | |
| Last hike of the winter season, and it was a big one! Most of the trail to Sandbeach Lake was tracked, except for the last half mile or so. From the lake, we climbed NW over unranked Mt. Orton and then to the summit of Chiefs Head. Views were incredible. 17 miles was a PR for a winter hike, took 13.5 hours! | |

| Kane | West Ridge | |
| Climbed this huge mountain from Wild Basin with a camp at Thunder Lake. I'm glad I did. The south face of Chiefs Head is huge and concave anf great to look at from the Snowbank Lake area. | |

| thebeave7 | Flattop to Chiefs Head Traverse Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2006 | |
| The last peak of the day, #7, would have liked to gone further, but Pagoda was a little spicy for me. Great views of Longs, the Keyboard, and Pagoda. A fun and worth while day. | |

| Mountain Jim | Route Climbed: East Ridge Date Climbed: August 1970 | |
| First climb on a traverse of Longs, Pagoda and Chiefshead. Getting down the West Ridge of Pagoda to the Pagoda-Chiefshead Col is very interesting. The East Ridge of Chiefshead is a pleasant boulder hop. I've climbed Chiefshead 3 more times since, including the 1st ascent of the 1500 foot flying buttress on the Southwest Face in 1989. We named the route,"The Warbonnet Ridge." | |
