| Pete Castricone | Never take the standard route  Date Climbed: Jun 5, 2010 | |
| A little improv and spontaneous decision making turned into an incredible day. From Bear Lake to Lake Haiyaha, up an unknown couloir to Hallett, and then down Tyndall...after some serious winds that is. An awesome partner made this one of the best trips ever. | |

| a bit of a nav mishap turned out to be all goodness.. ended up at Lake Haiyaha and blazing trail up to some interesting looking cooley.. from the map looks like we were in chaos canyon.. once topped out realized we werent in tyndall gorge as planned :0 but all good.. booted up hallets, scrambled down the backside in uncivilized wind, I was taken off my feet more than once. Headed over to Flattop, dropped in Tyndall Glacier and made some well earned turns all the way to Emerald Lake.. then Flattop Trail out.. DAMN FINE DAY! | ||

| Foggy day. No view at all from the summit. Still fun though. Got back to Boulder in time to watch the Super Bowl. | |

| tomlauren | Flattop - Ptarmigan Pt - Hallett - Otis Date Climbed: Sep 26, 2009 | |
| From Bear Lake, hiked up Flattop Mtn, Ptarmigan Pt, Hallett Pk, and Otis Pk, descending Andrews Glacier. Most people's image of Hallett Pk is of the vertical north face rising above Emerald Lake. The north face is actually just part of a long ridge that runs northeast for over a mile from Hallett's summit. | |

| sync | Tyndall Glacier Date Climbed: Aug 29, 2009 | |
| Ascent via Tyndall Glacier. My first snow climb! Had a thunderstorm roll through about 2/3 the way up the glacier that scared the daylights out of me, but the rest of the day was very nice. It's a grueling hike from Emerald Lake to the base of the glacier, but a great feeling to be deep in the park away from the standard trails. | |

| PellucidWombat | Nice easy peak Date Climbed: Aug 28, 2009 | |
| Hiked from TH to summit via the standard trail over Flat Top's summit (1:30 hrs). Couldn't tell where Flat Top's summit actually was, so I cut off from the trail junction to climb Hallet (2-2:30), and then back across the plateau to climb Ptarmigan Pt (3:00) before descending, with a RT time of 4:20 hrs. Nice trail! | |

| Took a quick side trip and hiked over from flattop on our way north and across the divide. Good views, looks like there are some really fun routes on this guy. | |

| mtwashingtonmonroe | My favorite! Date Climbed: Jun 16, 2009 | |
| Wow what an awesome day! Climbed Hallett after Flattop with my fiance in pretty fierce snow and wind from Bear Lake. What a great summit and unparalleled view. Gorgeous mountain! | |

| dakotaconcrete | My inspiration Date Climbed: Jul 15, 1993 | |
| I can't remember the route but I hiked this with my family on vacation quite some time ago, I was maybe 11 years old and unacclimated, made for an interesting but nauseating summit. The experience apparently had an enormous effect on me considering I returned to live in Colorado some 16 years later! | |

| Once you climb Flat top, you might as well climb this peak. | |

| Left miserable front range weather behind to find the Continental Divide drier and warmer, high above the up-sloping weather pattern. The views of the Divide with clouds filling the valleys below was pretty neat. | |

| kavak | Standard Route-Bear Lake TH Date Climbed: Jul 14, 2002 | |
| After walking over Flattop Mt. I headed up and over Hallett Peak. It looks so much different from this side and has very little of the "peak" like qualities you see from Bear Lake. | |
