| roozers42 | Route Climbed: from Bear Lake  Date Climbed: May 16, 2006 | |
| Wandered up the snow, don't know if it was the "standard" trail. Beautiful day by myself - only met a couple other people. | |

| pacojgarza | Standard Trail Date Climbed: Jun 2, 2006 | |
| Summited Flattop on my way to Hallett Peak, all that snow below treeline almost made me turn back, I`m glad I didn`t but I lost the trail there on my way down. | |

| 1mvertical | Bear Lake w/ a ski descent Date Climbed: Apr 23, 2006 | |
| We skinned most of the way up, but had to take the skis off in spots. While the Dragon's Tail is calling, we opted for a tammer first outing on wild snow w/ new gear. We found perfect weather that day, and perfect snow on the north side. | |

| Haliku | Dragon's Tail Couloir Date Climbed: Apr 23, 2006 | |
| We (rkymtn) had an enjoyable outing on what was a beautiful climb in all aspects. The snow allowed for easy step kicking. The surrounding views are great. | |

| rkymtn | Route Climbed: Dragon's Tail Couloir Date Climbed: Apr 23, 2006 | |
| Haliku and I enjoyed the ascent of the Dragon's Tail Couloir before heading to the summit and on to Hallett Peak. Snow conditions were great for kicking steps and the weather was equally nice. Overall, the climb was easy with a minor rock crux towards the top of the left couloir branch. | |

| Pennington | Flattop Summit | |
| Should have gone for the two 'fer, with Hallets. Went around Hallet's and came down Tyndall ( I think??? ) glacier. Returned back to Bear Lake trailhead via the Loch. Long day. Would love to get back and do it again. | |

| Climbed Dragon's Tail with a ski descent. Didn't actually stand on the true summit, but it's an easy hike from the top of the couloir, so I'll consider it bagged for now. I'm sure I'll cross the true summit some time soon. Trip report is on the Flattop page. | |

| I'd been over Flattop several times previously, but didn't record the dates. This was the first time I officially counted Flattop Mountain on my peak list. I went up Flattop, Hallet, Otis, and Ptarmigan Point this day. | |

| RMdaytripsgrl | Route: Bear Lake TH Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2005 | |
| An easy hike with jaw-dropping views of Hallets, Longs, and all of RMNP! Should have bagged Hallets, but I guess that gives me an excuse to go back! | |

| Been up this mountain a few times actually. I used to have a yearly trip that involved hiking from Bear Lake to Kawaneechee visitor centre and through big meadows. Since Flattop mtn. is on the way, it's a nice side trip! | |
