| Old School WB | Great hike, great mid week run Date Climbed: Apr 1, 1993 | |
| Heart Mtn. was my 7 th summit of my life. Since 1993 have been up it about 6 or 8 times, usually a mid week leg workout, have been up to the summit and back to the roadside parking in less than 1.5 hours. | |

| jbsantos | Great all-year scramble Date Climbed: Apr 17, 2010 | |
| This is another go-to scramble for Calgarians. The first summit is easily done all year, but you'll need snow shoes to do the circuit in winter or early spring/late fall. | |

| About 2 1/2 hours to the top on this extremely windy day, some snow and ice on the route. The views are just fantastic! | |

| dan2see | Second time lucky Date Climbed: May 31, 2009 | |
| Did the horseshoe with Ayla. Now I really know where Grant Macewen Peak is! On the horseshoe just past GM Peak, the north-facing hill still has a sizeable snowdrift on it. All the hikers had fun on the glissade. If you want to do the loop, I recommend that you park at the Quaite Trail. You'll hike the same distance, but the flat-land part will be nicer. | |

| dan2see | Winter hike Date Climbed: Jan 21, 2009 | |
| On the route up the main Heart, maybe half of the trail is covered with snowdrifts, so occasionally I had to take the time for route-finding. On the other hand, the snow was easier to walk on than scree. As a bonus, with a lot of the "easier" steps buried, I scrambled a lot of the missing trail options. I enjoyed the hands-on. I got to the second summit of the horsehoe ridge, when I ran out of time. Because this was my first time here, and I was solo, I decided to go back rather than explore. But stumbling down the scree on the main route wasn't fun -- I should have continued around the horseshoe. The funniest thing was that I always thought that the Heart was the horseshoe loop, so the north side of the Heart must be Grant MacEwan. Boy, was I wrong! Be sure to look up "Grant MacEwan Peak", here in SummitPost. | |

| William Marler | Good short day Date Climbed: Dec 2, 2006 | |
| Convinced my son to leave the computer and join me for a short scramble. He enjoyed the short climbing sections. Could not do the whole traverse due to time. But a good December 2nd outing. | |

| I never was much interested in climbing this mountain...and now I've done it twice! Good fun in a little peak, the full traverse is recommended. | |

| nayrb | From Highway ... Scramble Date Climbed: Aug 21, 2003 | |
| Great little summit just outside of Calgary, AB. It's a little mountain w/ a big "heart." Fun scramble w/ great views. | |

| pvalchev | Route Climbed: Northwest Ridge Date Climbed: year round | |
| I have done this scramble about a dozen times now, in every season of the year. It's really fun and being so close to Calgary/Canmore, everyone should do it! Good one to introduce new people to scrambling. It seems to stay fairly clear of snow the whole year due to chinooks. | |

| troycanadian | Route Climbed: Scramble Date Climbed: 25 April 2004 | |
| Nice day out in the early season. Good place to have lunch. Had tried this in late September 2003 and was turned back by verglas above the gully near the top. | |

| couchclimber | Route Climbed: horseshoe loop Date Climbed: April 24, 2005 | |
| scrambled most of the way up on the slabs to avoid people on the trail. The rock is grippy so it was quite enjoyable to climb it. I was quite surprised by the view of the mountains on the backside. | |
