| TwaMontana | Very Long Fun Day Date Climbed: Aug 25, 2012 | |
| David and I hit the trail at 5:30am in the dark. The toughest part was getting on to the NE ridge. From there it was a great climb. It had snowed the day before on the upper mountain so an inch of fresh slowed us down a little. Truly a massive mountain. Great views. We got back to the cars just before dark at 9pm. That last mile and a half up hill was exhausting. | |

| MtMtnHiker | Perfect Day for Climbing in GNP Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2012 | |
| Went up via the NE Ridge route and Jackson Glacier trail. At the summit 6 hours after leaving the Gunsight campground. Two of the three in our group made it up to the top. We decided to come down the NE ridge on the north face side. Took a long time getting one of the party memebers down making for a 12 hour round trip from Gunsight CG. Would have been quicker and easier to just descend back to the Jackson Glacier trail. None the less, an awesome day for climbing in Glacier, couldn't have dreamed of more perfect weather. | |

| mike_lindacher | Northeast Ridge? Date Climbed: Jul 20, 2012 | |
| no success. attempted the northeast ridge prior gunsight pass and ran into what i considered loose, exposed class III to IV stuff. wasn't exactly as straightforward as i thought from edward's description. i noticed that some have done this as a day hike - kudos. will someday return, it's a massive mountain. attempted again via jackson glacier the following day, weather prevented upward movement. i did find an ice axe on the north slope. so, if by some random chance you lost one and can identify it, it's yours ...... | |

| larch32 | Nice outing | |
| Climbed in a day-- I'd say this is one of Edward's most conservative time estimates. | ||

| juneauhiker | Long day. Date Climbed: Sep 8, 2009 | |
| A hail storm deprived us our summit views but increased the adventure factor and that along with good company made for an excellent day nonetheless. | |

| What a f#*king view! One of the finest I've ever seen. Like to think I've seen my fair share to. To a sketchy direct route from near Gunsight pass. Quickest summit stop ever as weather was bearing in and my pack was at the trail near the pass | |

| KristinaAL | An adventure | |
| With several coworkers. Hiked to the base in the rain. Camped that night and got a somewhat late start the next day. Reached the summit in time to inhale a sandwich for lunch before being chased off by a snow storm. This kind of climb is best done with people you already know and trust | |

| I forget the exact date. This was a memorable outing, and not only because we were charged by a mountain goat on the trail. | |
