| dswink | Bierstadt - Sawtooth - Evans  Date Climbed: Jun 30, 2006 | |
| My first 14er! From Guanella Pass to the Bierstadt summit, then over Sawtooth ridge to Mount Evans and then dropped down into the willows to return to the car. A very long day. | |

| tomlauren | South Ridge Date Climbed: Jul 16, 2005 | |
| Hiked the South Ridge from Scott Gomer Creek Trailhead. To the best of my knowledge, nobody else summited via that route that day (and it was a Saturday). Got great shots of a mountain goat near the top. | |

| habaceeba | First 14er Date Climbed: Oct 8, 2006 | |
| Hindsight is 20/20, and I was in idiot. I had moved to CO from TX a few weeks earlier and I was overly excited about the mountains. I set out this day with little more than a light jacket and water. I was wearing a pair of 3-4 year old New Balance running shoes with zero traction. When I reached the summit, it was whiteout and the snow began to blanket the ground as I descended. I made it in one piece. | |

| breagen | winter Date Climbed: Jan 20, 2008 | |
| Winter ascent from below Guanella Pass, wasn't plowed so that added another 3-4 km to the thing. Fun day, did it in 8 hours total coming from Iowa the day before (yay not acclimating). The summit had insane winds on it so we only spent about 1 minute on top, would love to do the sawtooth someday. | |

| Kenneth.alone | Nice traverse Date Climbed: May 4, 2004 | |
| I liked the traverse to Evan's a lot, it was empty and cold, filled snow and it provided awesome views! | |

| peakrat76 | Standard "Willows" Route Date Climbed: Jul 15, 1976 | |
| Thrashed through the willows on my first climb of this peak. So much easier now with the boardwalks - easier on the tundra too. | |

| MountainHikerCO | #36 Date Climbed: Jun 22, 2008 | |
| This was my 36th climb of Bierstadt. The first was 7-19-86 | |

| MountainHikerCO | First of many Date Climbed: Jul 19, 1986 | |
| This was my first of many climbs of Bierstadt. Some of the climbs have been combined with a traverse of The Sawtooth over to Mt Evans. I've had nice days on Bierstadt, even in the winter, and I've experienced brutal weather. I've been chased off Bierstadt by lightning and one one occasion turned back close to the summit because of cold wind. On that occasion I got frostbite on the bridge of my nose - the only exposed flesh. | |

| MattK | Few times... Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2006 | |

| MattGreene | Quick dash | |
| Bierstadt was a quick winter summit from Guanella pass. The snow was wind-swept, which made it easy for travel. | ||

| spannring29 | Tour d'Abyss Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2007 | |
| We planned on the Tour d'Abyss, but weather moved in and the Sawtooth was not looking very friendly in bad weather, so we had to settle for Bierstadt. A very fun route that I need to go back and finish. | |

| noahs213 | Guanella Pass Date Climbed: Sep 29, 2007 | |
| Very overcast with tons of snow clouds. Got to the summit with just a second of a view and it was cold. Got a third of the way down and headed into 50mph winds with snow/hail. Nice weather. It was great. I wish the weather would always be like that. | |
