| ape | Pemi loop backpack Date Climbed: Aug 18, 2011 | |
| Did a Pemi Loop over 2.5 days with a couple of friends. Going counter clockwise, camped at Guyot and Garfield tent sites. Saw an awesome lightning over a town to the north storm from Garfield; got hailed on in a lightning storm on the way out on the last day. Had a bottle of Bowmore with us. The others were a bit tuckered out at this point, so I did this as an out-and-back myself. Wasn't able to catch up with them until the campsite on Garfield, where they were waiting. | ||

| LDuszer | easy run from the hut Date Climbed: Jul 7, 2010 | |
| This was the 5th peak I climbed on my route over the course of a few days. It's a quick hike to the summit from Galehead Hut, which is a much-needed resting spot after coming down from South Twin. My dog took a breather near the summit cairn. | |

| Hit Garfield first, then to the hut to drop off gear, and a quick trip to Galehead. No view, but a decent view on the way up at the outlook. Back to the hut just in time to avoid the rain and wind! | |

| Brian Jenkins | Longer Day Date Climbed: Sep 24, 2008 | |
| Tagged as the 8th of 8 summit from the Bonds to Galehead before hiking out the Franconia Brook Trail. 34 miles on a two-day trip. Left the packs at the Hut and was very thankful to the hut for their cinnamon bun and Hershey bars as I brought too little food for this hike. | |

| Tahawus | Galehead Mountain Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2007 | |
| Climbed with Garfield via the Garfield Ridge Trail from Gale River Road. Traversed a steep and rocky section of the Appalachian Trail coming over from Garfield. No views to speak of from the summit but there is a nice lookout on the Frost Trail coming up from the Galehead Hut. | |

| A mountain to do with cloudy skies, you're basically getting no views anyway. I wanted to climb a 4000er, and I had the day off. It rained the night before and it was still dreary out, but I would still rather be out on the trail. The folks at the hut were nice when I stopped by. | |

| Grampahawk | snow slog Date Climbed: Mar 2, 2008 | |
| An Ok day, about 32 at the base with some overcast and a few snow showers. The trail from the Rt 3 parking lot was unbroken all the way to the top so it presented an interesting challenge. About 8 inces of newly fallen powder with a crust underneath that would continually grab the snowshoes when you broke through meant a lot of falls. The summit was not that interesting but I knocked this one off my 4000 footer list. | |

| eric-griz | A sad day Date Climbed: Sep 11, 2001 | |
| A lot going on in our world that day. Being in the mountains, however, I was oblivious to it all. Anyway I made it up the Twins and Galehead before setting up camp at 13 Falls Campsite and heading to Owl's Head. | |

| bidwelldk | Route Climbed,: Garfield Ridge- to Fros trail | |
| Part of a three day loop. Figured I might as well hit the top since I was right there. | |

| woodstrider | Backpack to Peakbag Date Climbed: Jul 24, 2002 | |
| From base camp at Garfield tentsites we day hiked this. The hut was then newly renovated. Can I ask- who sleeps on the top (4th level) bunk in there? | |

| Matt Worster | Route Climbed: From Zealand Date Climbed: 8 Sept 2004 | |
| Wow, what a summit. It's summits like these that remind me what a list-dork I am. But I'm a happy list-dork, so what the hey! Part of a long dayhike that included Zealand. One or two red maples had turned color down by the ponds. | |

| Seth Maciejowski | Route Climbed: Black pond bushwhack to lincoln brook Date Climbed: March 2005 | |
| We skied into black pond with the sleds and set up camp. Next day we went for the peak through the black pond bushwhack cutoff to lincoln brook. Nice views from the slide and some deep snow on the ridge got us to the summit cairn. A nice night in -11 F on black pond kept the snow from softening and kept everything dry. A good time. | |

| WhiteLief | Route Climbed: Galehead Trail from Hut, etc Date Climbed: June 11, 2005 | |
| 99.9% humidity, a few black flies, and a great three-bagger with Galehead, South Twin and North Twin, starting on the Gale River Trail. Trails were muddy and wet, thundershowers, thankfully, stayed away. Too hazy for much of a view. | |

| We left our packs in the Galehead hut - felt great to climb without them. | |
