| cftbq | Massive Mania--almost  Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2009 | |
| Last peak of the day, after hitting all the ridge points to the north, starting from the Windsor Lake TH. Bailed down the east slopes trail as thunder boomed and graupel moved in. Windy most of the morning, but still a great day on the summit ridge. | |

| Climbed SW route from North Halfmoon Creek TH. After summit of Mt. Massive went to North Massive over Massive Green. Returned the same way. Climbed South Massive and descended SW route. Fun scramble between North Massive and Massive Green. Nice weather, awesome views! | |

| Great way to climb Massive, includes N. Massive which rises 280 feet from the connecting saddle and if it were ranked would be the 5th highest in the state. | |

| Nice climb - 2nd of 4 on our "marathon" week in Colorado - beautiful state. Photo61Guy's flatulence problem on Elbert seemed to have remedied itself today, PTL. | |

| 8/1/04 - Climbed the short but steep SW Slopes route from North Halfmoon Creek TH. My first solo 14er. 10/8/05 - Started at North Halfmoon Creek TH, climbed Mt. Oklahoma, and then traversed via the interesting ridge to the Massive massif. Finished off with Massive Mania - hitting all 5 summits above 14K. Great fall day! 1/26/08 - Winter ascent of the east ridge from the Leadville Fish Hatchery with the legendary Ken Nolan. Traversed to North Massive a well. | |

| As with Elbert, I hiked Massive with McCannster. I liked Massive better than Elbert, and I thought that the view from the top was better. I was surprised at the deceiving massiveness of Massive's east slopes. On the summit we watched as a cloud developed, fueled by updrafts coming off of Massive's East side. | |

| McCannster | Main Trail Date Climbed: Sep 28, 2008 | |
| With Gareth. A bit more enjoyable than Elbert, however I didn't realize how, well for lack of a better term, MASSIVE, the slopes of this peak are. Fun day though, did the main trail in about 8 hours. | |

| gwave47 | Main Trail from Halfmoon Date Climbed: Jul 16, 2008 | |
| Summitted Mt. Massive on the backside of a 3week hiking trip. It was probably a good idea to make it one of the later Mountains to climb in the trip, because I was able to get well acclimated. It was still difficult, especially the final push, but I always love climbing mountains in the Sawatch Range. | |

| Renardo | Holy wind! Date Climbed: Sep 6, 2008 | |
| Windy enough at the saddle to knock you over if you weren't careful! But a good day overall. | |

| mountainloverCO | Mt. Massive TH Date Climbed: Aug 28, 2008 | |
| Enjoyed a bluebird day up and down the slopes of Mt. Massive. Started around 7:00AM, summitted late around 11:30, and enjoyed the clear blue skies for about an hour before heading back down to the car where we arrived around 4:00PM. This route has a great, well-maintained trail and nothing overly steep on it, but this is definitely a looooong day. We were lucky to have such great weather the whole day. | |

| Pivvay | Main summit from Halfmoon Date Climbed: Jul 8, 2008 | |
| Awesome, beautiful trip. Got a little standing glissade in on the descent which was nice. Great flowers. We got stormed off the top so we only spent a couple minutes up there but I'll be back to do the full circle tour another day. Marni, Turbo and Chris. | |

| 5th 14er in 5 days. Left at 5:30 am, arrived before 9am. Me and brother had the summit to ourselves for several moments with a good lunch and Paulaner beer. Glissaded down ~300ft from the ridge. | |
