| benbusack | Dirty Face all cleaned up  Date Climbed: Jul 1, 2011 | |
| I spent two weeks working on this trail with Northwest Youthcorps. Varied teams of crewleaders and enterprising youth of today did massive amounts of work to restore this trail. We bucked out over 70 logs and completed almost a complete overhaul of the tread from top to bottom. This is a challenging hike with an amazing payoff at the top. Please get out there and enjoy. Remember the work of many teenagers and trail dogs who made this possible. And drink lots of water! | |

| Dundeel | NE Route Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2011 | |
| Duane and I bushwhacked up from the old logging road. Road is becoming very overgrown. Not hard to follow on foot, but forget the bike. Only small snow patches left near the summit. Some steep scrambling but barely Class 3. Mosquitos were about as bad as I've ever seen in the woods. WA P3k 23/52. | |

| My first ascent was off route from a logging road (backdoor). It cut off alot of the mileage but it was tougher in elevation gain. Second time, did the regular route with snow. Good Plan B destination. | |

| ericwillhite | Return to Washington | |
| Picked this one to do while returning to Washington on vacation. Climb was in spring and snow prevented any bushwhacking the 2 off-trail miles to the true summit. Map and pics at http://www.willhiteweb.com/washington_climbing/dirtyface_peak/lake_wenatchee_hikes_071.htm | |

| ericnoel | Klenke Variation Date Climbed: Jun 14, 2009 | |
| We took the old logging road and then up through the forest. Then a little bit of light scrambling up from the summit. No problems. Except for the mosquitos, evil blood suckers en masse. | |

| TheBootfitter | 100-ft Cliff Date Climbed: Jun 24, 2007 | |
| Party of four. We hiked up to the lookout site, then scrambled along the ridge with the intent of reaching Dirtyface Peak. Should have checked route more carefully, as we got turned back by a 100+ ft cliff and didn't have equipment to rap down to get to the other side. Fun scramble on the ridge! No snow along ridge, but still significant snow on NE side of ridge. It actually snowed a bit while we were up there. Very pretty! | |

| iluka | Route Climbed: NE Route to Main Summit Date Climbed: July 9, 2005 | |
| A lot of travel in the trees and some good Pacific Northwest bushwhacking in spots but it eventually leads to a nice ridge scramble and a nice summit with some good views. | |
