| Carrying a 50 pound pack up this hill from Chicken Spring Lake, on what was supposed to be a 4 day trip taught me how quickly I can get out of shape. Looking up at Langley, across New Army Pass, then down at High Lake, the nearest source of water, I knew it was time to bail. I'll be back. | |

| tarol | Nice Peak Date Climbed: Sep 26, 2010 | |
| Went up via Old Army and came down via New Army. I stopped just shy of the summit - was feeling the altitude! Friends Greg and Albert made it all the way to the top. Loved the views from up here - outstanding. | |

| Dave Daly | NE Ridge First Recorded Ascent? Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2010 | |
| Deb and I took a day off from our FA pursuits and decided to stroll out to Cirque Peak from Golden Trout Camp area. We were going to scramble up the north slope but the sight of the ridge coming down the NE side looked enticing. Deb mentioned to me that she had seen nothing about it in Secor's book (only the East Ridge and the standard New Army Pass way). We left the trail between Long Lake and High Lake and set out sights on a subtle ramp-like weakness that headed SW and up to the ridgeline itself. Once on the ridge, we followed mainly the left side of the ridge, skirting mid height on most of the towers and genedarmes encountered (mostly 4th class with a few low 5th class spots in between). Mid way up the southern side of the ridge, we moved into a steep recess, again, encountering exciting exposed 4th/5th class climbing on steep cracks and knobs. The ridge backed off to 3rd class and eventually gained the upper part of the north slope and bending slightly south to the summit. I've checked the archives of the SPS TR's, Bob Burd's TR's and the recent edition of Secor's High Sierra guidebook. Nothing. We even looked for signs of passage and found nothing (ie ducks, cairns, bail gear, etc). Perhaps its been done but never recorded. And I supposed that could be said for alot of other ridges and such. We'll call it an FA unless someone can otherwise prove its been done before. See photos for the Cirque Peak page. | |

| Totally worth it if you're headed to Langley and have extra time. Lots of (big) loose stuff on the way up, but it's still fun. You can find class 3 sections if you look for them...more if you stick to the edge of the ridge. | |
