| awhite28 | Great Northern Date Climbed: Sep 20, 2008 | |
| Climbed it in late September. The vegetation in fall colors was stunning. Lots of prescribed burns in the area so much of the view of the park was obscured. Found the steep! (2000 ft in 1.25 miles) but lovely trail to the ridge. Catch it where Hungry Horse Creek crosses the road between Dudley and Lost Mare Creek. | |

| GlacierCountry | Cliffs Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2012 | |
| Camped with Noelle by the creek in Dudley Bowl, then ascended the next day up the NW ridge, then down-climbed the cliffs on the right side of the bowl. Bugs were rough by the creek. | |

| cwebb | great views Date Climbed: Aug 20, 2010 | |
| Climb this one every year. The first mile and a half are brutal, but the views the rest of the way up make up for all the hard work. With all the snowpack remaining this year it's going to be a late one this year. | |

| MtMtnHiker | What other route? Date Climbed: Jul 28, 2010 | |
| Good climb with Montanachris. Tough bushwack up and took the new route down. Awesome views, good climb with a good friend, met some cool folks on the way up once we got to the main ridge and got to watch a group of goats for a while on the way down. | |

| montanachris | Old school bushwhack Date Climbed: Jul 28, 2010 | |
| Learned the value of up-to-date guidebooks on this one. We climbed the now obsolete south side of Hungry Horse creek 'trail'. It was a wet bushwhack through Devil's club thickets and a lot of slick downed timber. But we did top out, so it was worth it! | |

| That's the most direct route and quite a lot of fun cos you don't have a nice groomed trail all the way to the false summit! We go that way on purpose :-) Glad you pursued!! | |

| This is the one that got me hooked on climbing. Had a crew of six that day. It was a lot of fun. Though the last mile down I don't think there was one of us who wasn't screaming with knee pain with each step. | |

| FlatheadNative | Top 3 On The List Date Climbed: Jul 30, 2008 | |
| Hot day in the 90s but we did it. This was #3 on my top three mountains to climb. Climbed with Vantana and SBurry. | |

| felesha85 | highlight of my life Date Climbed: Jul 28, 2009 | |
| this was the best hike i have ever done so far. i climbed it with my roommate sara and we had a blast. we fueled up on huckleberries when we took breaks on the steep way up.the weather made the experience . we did get caught in a wind storm on the ridge up to the summit. had to stop and hang on, cold but thankfully no rain. after the clouds subsided 2 different rainbow was in view in the valley below us. what a wild experience! the hike down was brutal but the pain was worth it. this will be a traditional hike. i love montana. | ||

| mtn ear | Nice Climb Date Climbed: Jul 25, 2009 | |
| A great climb to take in the views of the southern parts of GNP. Climbed with my son Frank. We got up and down at a liesurely pace on this warm July day in 7 hours. Not really a mountain for those seeking solitude...we counted 27 other climbers on the mountain this day! | |

| FlatheadJim | Many times | |
| Since 1999, almost an annual event. Good spring testpiece to see what kind of shape one is in. I call it a full day at the office - 8 hours is plenty of time. | |

| Saintgrizzly | Route Climbed: Standard/NW Ridge Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2005 | |
| I now understand why this climb, even in an area dominated by Glacier National Park, is a local favorite. Very, very nice mountain! First half of the trail is quite steep, but the trail is good, and when it levels out—which is about the time of the first view into the southern reaches of GNP—wow! This is definitely a mountain I'll do again! | |
