| larch32 | Good rock?  | |
| I've climbed Divide perhaps ten times in the last five summers. Only recently did I discover that the East side has relatively good rock for technical climbing. Roughly three short pitches with some low angle areas that allow you to traverse and pick your poison. Suprisingly good gear. | ||

| EckBecK | A great climb. Date Climbed: Oct 10, 2011 | |
| Just climbed this for the third time in october with my buddy Logan. It's a lot of fun when covered in snow. We spent the night in the shack during a huge blizzard. | |

| Bob Sihler | Nice morning climb Date Climbed: Jul 13, 2011 | |
| Climbed with Blake Passmore and his friends Mike and Rod on a day on which the clouds won out over the sun. Nice views while they lasted, and Rod and I reached the summit just in time to catch the views from there as well. A favorite peak of Saintgrizzly's...Blake and I offered up a greeting to him up top. | |

| sanfordstone | Steep and Deep Date Climbed: Apr 23, 2011 | |
| Snowshoed in from hwy 89. Going up the shoulder to the ridge was a little tough, and I was surprised by considerable snow and ice on the ridge itself. Went to the lookout and enjoyed the frigid sunshine before deciding that a summit attempt might not be wise solo given the wind and ice and cornices. Never seen such cornices on Divide before. Climbed many many times in the summers, and twice during previous winters. this one was a doozy. Saw Bugwik's tracks going in but I skipped the road and xc'd it and never saw them again on the approach or climb, so he must have gone up the nw face to the ridge. | |

| Buqwik | Winter Solo | |
| Skied from the hi way to the ridge. Snow covered talus climb from there thanks to the blasting winds. Whiteout on the way down glad the climbing was not to difficult! | |

| wiredroach | Great hike once you're on the ridge Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2010 | |
| Climbed it on a foggy August day. Took us half an hour just to find the trailhead and couldn't see the mountain at all. Made the summit and the clouds parted on the way down to reveal the spectacular scenery below. Outstanding, and not a tough climb once you get above the muddy trail and onto the ridge. | |

| urnotreal | Good times | |
| Multiple times in 2001. I had nothing but fun every time I went up here. A sunset climb in particular was especially beautiful. | |

| distressbark | rough drive Date Climbed: Jul 28, 2010 | |
| Awesome views from the parking lot. Easy, interesting route up the ridge and past the abandonded fire lookout to the buggy summit. Summit views include a very vivid example of the mountains abruptly meeting the prairie. Also climbed on June 19, 2011. Snow complicated the route over the last couple hundred of vertical feet. On the descent, we spotted some friends of ours skinning up the snowy east face - my hiking partner and I met them on the snow and glissaded down on an abundance of slushy snow. Great spring summit. | |

| rebelgrizz | Divide.....and Conquered Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2009 | |
| Totally missed the trailhead and thus the "trail"....climbed through the boulder field on the north side of the mountain and then up the scree and talus slope to the old lookout....then took the ridge to the summit. We made it much harder than it had to be. Summitted with Cougar14...who made me a better climber today. | |

| The Levitator | Divide Mountain Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2009 | |
| Approached the old lookout the hard way instead of the easy way. Began going through the rock field below the lookout then after we reached the lookout we followed faint trail after another to the summit. Awful windy. Amazing views of the other Glacier Peaks especially White Calf and Red Eagle Mountains. Great mountain to climb enjoyed the climbing around the summit and had a great time. Climbed with Rebelgrizz. | |

| lonewolf2401 | Solo Date Climbed: Aug 8, 1989 | |
| This was one of my most enjoyable summits. The rock is firm, providing very good purchase for climbing, and the view for the amount of energy expended is incredible. Nice little wooden lookout on the ridge (old). | |
