| belexes | South Ridge from Mount Tweto Date Climbed: May 26, 2012 | |
| CMC trip. We climbed Tweto first, then headed over to Arkansas. Two of our group made it to the first false summit before starting back down. We didn't spend too much time on top due to the high winds. | |

| sevenvii | Followed Matt Date Climbed: Apr 14, 2012 | |
| After seeing the pics from Matt Lemkes report we decided to go out and give this a go. Solid line up the North couloir in spectacular snow. Was a little thin near the top for about 20 feet and we moved over to the rock (should have stayed on the snow). | |

| Started from Fremont Pass and climbed good snow. Traversed south on the N Ridge the rest of way to the summit. Had a great glissade! | |

| For the Mosquito Range, the ridge connecting Tweto and Arkansas was quite a treat! The weather cooperated and our entire team made both summits. | |

| shknbke | se ridge from Tweto Date Climbed: Jul 10, 2010 | |
| From Tweto via the s.e. ridge. Stayed on the crest at the summit block to make it a little more exciting. There is a decent trail for a good bit of the way up to the false summit of Arkansas. | |

| peakrat76 | North Ridge/West Couloir Date Climbed: Oct 10, 1996 | |
| Made ascent with good climbing buddy Ed. Had been stormed off a couple of times before. Previous trip was in zero/zero fog on the North Ridge.. very eerie at 13K with no visibility. The ridge drops off pretty abruptly near the top. On summit day we did most of the North Ridge, then dropped down into a trashy couloir on the West face. Big mistake. Made the summit anyhow... my advice would be to stay on ridge. Much nicer. A great Tenmile/Mosquito summit. Perfect October weather. | |

| chicagotransplant | Traverse from Tweto Date Climbed: Nov 10, 2007 | |
| Fun scrambling on the traverse from Tweto. Still fairly dry on this side of these peaks, I never even needed the gaitors. This was my 100th out of the top 200, felt good to hit the halfway mark! | |

| ColoradoScott | Route Climbed: North Ridge Date Climbed: June 16, 1985 | |
| The north ridge is an exciting scramble for those tired of the same old "walk-ups". I climbed this with a CMC group that was doing roped snow climbing practice with crampons, prior to some other climbing tour in a more exotic location. A couple of us not participating on that upcoming trip were allowed to climb regardless, although with ice axes. Starting from Hwy.91 to the north, we hiked south for about 1.5 miles to a small saddle, marked 11,823' on the Climax topo. While you can head Se up the slopes from here, this group was here to climb snow, so we did a climbing traverse for .25 mi. to the southeast to intersect a shallow couloir that drains into French Gulch. this shallow couloir was snow-filled and at a steady angle of easy to moderate snow. Because this was the CMC, and safety was paramount, those not roped, including myself, scrambled up the rocks and tundra along the couloir, the leader not wanting us above or below the fall-line that they were honing their snow climbing skills in. We made good progress and rejoined each other at the top of the NNE and NNW ridges, and proceeded to climb the narrow, solid ridge to the summit. The rock allowed for fun scrambling moves in exposed places, or easier traverses, for those not so daring. On the descnet, the whole party was "permitted" to glissade the ascent snow couloir, since the sun had now softened the surface. Mount Arkansas is a beautiful climb, and more challenging than many of it's higher neighbors. | |
