| Day Hiker | Route Climbed: Traverse Over Boundary Date Climbed: 04 June 2005  | |
| The Boundary-Montgomery ridge had just the right amount of snow to make the traverse interesting. I used crampons at one point for a small stretch, then took them off to continue to the summit. | |

| Awesome two-Bagger. We had perfect weather to start, with clouds building all day. Rain chased us to the car. | |

| bearbnz | Route Climbed: Traverse from Boundary Date Climbed: December 6, 2003 | |
| Climbed with ScottyS on a day with ferocious wind, in excess of 70 knots. The unconsolidated snow on the talus made it quite slow and unpleasant. Without the snow, it would be a fun 3rd class scramble. The last 30 feet were the worst, on the lee side of the peak the snow had drifted 5-6 feet deep, and we fell through to our waists at each step, just made a long trough in the snow. | |

| Sam Mills | Route Climbed: North Ridge traverse from Boundary Peak Date Climbed: October 2000 | |
| Montgomery was an additional peak I climbed on a solo trip up Boundary Peak. An early fall snow storm had left about six inches of unconsolidated snow covering the large talus on the ridge. My shins still show the scars. I'll climb this again someday if anyone wants a partner. | |

| ScottyS | Route Climbed: Traverse from Boundary via Queen Canyon Ridge Date Climbed: December 6, 2003 | |
| Almost missed this summit for the second time in a row, but my partner Barry managed to drag me kicking & screaming (about blizzards) across the saddle. We didn't get buried or blown off the ridge, and made it back to the trailhead without mishap. Unconsolidated snow on steep 3rd class is VERY time-consuming! I still say the ridge on the south side of Trail Canyon would be shorter and easier.......maybe NEXT time. | |
