| With GMS, was planning on doing Edwards afterwards but everyone was tired. Guess 22miles and 6000ft is enough for one day. | |

| After ascending Edwards, my son Frank and I descended to Comeau Pass then up the snow slopes on north side of mountain. HUGE cornice on summit. Much easier climb than Edwards. | |

| FlatheadJim | NE Slope Snow Climb Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2008 | |
| Staying at Sperry makes this far more enjoyable. Alpine start due to stuff moving on Sperry Glacier the day before, which thwarted our attempt to climb it via the glacier. Climbed with newcomer who had never done steep snow before, so pitched it out and put her on belay all the way up. Nice glissade down from summitt almost all the way back to Comeau Pass. Rock n roll :)) | |

| Saintgrizzly | Logan Pass to Hidden Lakes to Floral Park to Sperry Glacier to NE Slope Date Climbed: Aug 1, 2006 | |
| This is one of the great ones! A very, very enjoyable ascent taking us from Logan Pass to Hidden Lakes, over the southeast ridge running out of Bearhat Mtn, down into the aptly-named Floral Park, up another ridge, then circumventing the "toe" of Sperry Glacier, then finally ascending the mountain itself. Almost none of the notorious Glacier N.P. scree and loose talus, and then the summit...! Even for a part of the Northern Rockies known for great vistas, this mountain is special! Absolutely amazing! GNP rocks! Climbed with a small contingent of GMS folk (five of us)--21-mile, 13-hour day, ending with a rather grueling (understatement, that) 9-mile descent down (constantly down!) 6,000+ feet from the summit to Comeau Pass, past the Sperry Chalet, then on to Lake McDonald. Very tired at the end, but what a great, terrific day! | |

| Gunsight is one of the most beautiful places in Glacier National Park. Enjoyed a climb to Sperry Glacier and a stay at Sperry Chalet. Outstanding scenery! Natural Born Hikers | |

| Climbed with Moni Spicker. We camped near Sperry Chalet and the next day traversed Edwards Mountain west to east, then climbed Gunsight and returned to our camp. A very nice day out with no backtracking except for a small bit of trail. This early in the season, the NE Slope was nearly all snow until virtually at the summit. | |
