| lidijagrazulis | Great day out! Date Climbed: Sep 25, 2011 | |
| Headed up on an iffy-weather day not knowing how far we'd get. Got to within a few hundred feet of the summit, but were stopped short by a sketchy snowfield. Had lunch in the sun and then headed down, only to have the skies open up and drench us in rain for the whole hike down. 35+ fallen trees to negotiate over/under in both directions made for quite an adventure too. GPS watch recorded 13.5 miles and 5500 ft. gain/loss before running out of battery a few minutes from the bridge. Views that we saw were fantastic - definitely want to go back and get to the top on a sunny day! | |

| Hike up was great, but ran into fog about 500 feet from the summit. Had no view - I'm sure it's nice when it's clear though. | |

| Finally we get a sunny day in Washington and I was happy that I chose to make use of it on David. The trail is quite scenic as it snakes along the ridge between some serious obstacles and as a veiwpoint this peak is stellar. This is one I could even repeat. | |

| Great hike!! The descent was killer on my knees, but worth the effort. | |

| A nice hike with Maria and Bryan. Definitely not 16 miles round-trip. It might be 14 but it felt more like 12. An inch of fresh snow covered everything near the top. No views on the summit, just clouds. A film by Bryan: | |

| I'd been interested in David since first I saw him from the summit of Mount Fernow. The weather held until the summit which was socked in with high winds and pelting rain. Despite no views to what I assume is the more interesting north, it was a very nice climb. The trail is beautifully constructed and the views from the ridge were excellent. | |

| ericwillhite | Almost lost my dog | |
| My dog was bitten by a timber rattlesnake on the way down. Great peak though. Story of how we got the dog back and trip report, pictures and map at http://www.willhiteweb.com/washington_climbing/white_river/mount_david_014.htm | |

| I solo dayhiked this peak in late August 94, had great weather, and didn't see a single other person on the trail all day. I guess 5000' of gain scares off most people! Very nice summit. I especially like the stone outhouse. At first, I mistook it for a gaint cairn. | |

| 16 miles and 5700' gain. A real slog to a great summit. I saw one person all day. | |

| Duane, his 6'5" son Scott, and shorty me did the 16-mile round-trip on a disappointing weather day. The views from that summit would have to be fabulous, and a return trip for better photo opportunities is an absolute must. Great trail, and well worth the day! | |
