| mtybumpo | Nice Peak  Date Climbed: Jun 20, 2009 | |
| The weather in Idaho was crummy so my partners and I headed for Oregon to Climbe Ironside. The day turned out to be great and Ironside was a very interesting mountain. There were a few very low clouds that came in around us but all they did was make the day more interesting. It was also my first Oregon Peak. | |

| This was a long drive. Had to pull one tree off the road and cut another with a saw to get to the trailhead. Dean was with me, but he had the Prairie City tomain. | |

| Bob Bolton | From the high saddle Date Climbed: Oct 1, 2006 | |
| I drove my 4Runner to the saddle east of the peak, then hiked the remaining ~900 feet from there. The weather was perfect, but the views were limited by the haze from wildfires. Remote and interesting area, and nice mountain. It was my 59th Oregon P2K. | |

| calebEOC | Ironside is a cold mistress Date Climbed: Sep 16, 2006 | |
| Although snowstorms were whipping over the Strawberry Mountains and Monument Rock to the west Ironside Mountain sat in an island of blue sky for me all day making the hike cold and windy but at least under blue skies. Hard to believe I was hiking in shorts and a tank top two weeks before this! Great view from here, especially to the west and south this day where I could watch the snowstorm brushing over the nearby mountaintops. The drive in was a little disorienting, roads in this area are basically unmarked, especially the further from the pavement you get. Didnt see any wildlife whatsoever, however the bowhunters were pretty thick around the bottom of the mountain. Anyway, loved this hike, a fitting close to my summer of Blue Mountain's hiking. | |
