| dirth | Flat Top Pass?  Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2009 | |
| Shouldn't this be considered a pass instead of a peak? Climbing over this "peak" is the easiest way to get across the continental divide for miles. Hiked up and over it to get to the more interesting stuff. | |

| mtwashingtonmonroe | What a day! Date Climbed: Jun 16, 2009 | |
| Climbed this with Hallett Peak after a previous nights snow that left some interesting conditions for the trip. The trail (what you could see of it) was ice and probably 75% of it was covered in drifts. What an awesome hike it was up in snowy and windy conditions. By the time we came back down much of the trail was unveiled from the June sun. Hallett was even better! | |

| Easy combo with Hallet makes for a nice day in the Park. | |

| ash80 | Overrated | |
| Flattop is pretty overrated in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Lot of talk about it but it's average compared to some of it's fun nieghbour peaks. Hallets is the real deal! | |

| dpryan999 | Great climb Date Climbed: Jul 1, 1998 | |
| My buddy Jay and I climbed Flattop when passing through Colorado on a cross-country trip. Perfect weather, great hike, unforgettable trip. | |

| silversummit | Just found I had hiked this for sure! | |
| I was scanning my slides from 1975 last night and found Flattop among them. Even had some snow still that July! | |

| coljayms | Going Up Date Climbed: Sep 13, 2004 | |
| Lost track of how many times up this trail. Now that I think about it, have I ever found the summit? | ||

| Escaped the rainy day on the Front Range and hiked up above the (lower) cloud deck to find the Continental Divide nice and dry, and actually warmer than the moist, miserable weather below. A quick jaunt over to Hallet from here to catch a sweet view of the Divide above the clouds. | |

| woodsxc | Backpacking Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2008 | |
| Nabbed it while backpacking. Probably one of the least satisfying peaks I've seen, but hey, it's a mountain. The view is nice, but you can get the same view anywhere in that general area. | |

| AFmountaineer | On the way to Hallet Date Climbed: Jul 18, 2003 | |
| We climbed it on our way to Hallet Peak. It was extremely cold on Flattop and my uncle had to wait here with a marmot. | |

| Hiked up the trail and over the seriously flat top of this mountain. Where is the actual summit?? Then on to Hallett Peak. | |

| KAmmerman | Easy start to a long day above timberline Date Climbed: Jul 13, 2008 | |
| Nice, early start meant I saw no one on the trail on the way up or summit. Then to Ptarmigan Pt, Sprague Mtn (by mistake!) and finally Knobtop Mtn. Long day, perfect weather! | ||

| mountainzen107 | Hourglass Couloir Date Climbed: Jul 16, 2008 | |
| Amazing. This was my first couloir. I liked how it kept getting more steep towards the end, until your at almost 60 degrees at the top. When i popped up off that, all the tourists were taking my picture and pointing, it was hilarious. Beautiful day for a snow climb. not the best approach though. | |

| MarkDidier | First Rockies Peak Date Climbed: Aug 16, 2005 | |
| This was my first hiking trip to the Rockies, and my first summit. We wanted to go up to Hallet, but weather was coming in so we headed down. | |
