| foster fanning | Led the State High Angle Crew | |
| Led the WA State High Angle Crew during a fire suppression operation on the steep slopes of Mount Si in the mid 1990's. Fire fighting in a near vertical environment is always a challenge. Want to get back and do a proper trek to the top. | |

| fredzurensick | Many ascents | |
| I've climbed to the top of the haystack 3 times now over the past few years. Its a great little scramble, but the hike itself is a bit too popular for me. | ||

| I have hiked Si so many times I have lost count. Primarily, I use it as a training hike for bigger summer summits. | |

| Kyle22 | Haystack is the best part Date Climbed: Dec 9, 2008 | |
| I've hiked this thing too many times. It's a great starter peak but after a while it gets too easy and its always busy on the weekends. Sometimes I used to put on a 40-50lbs pack and go as fast as I could just to make it a little interesting. For training I definitely recommend mailbox peak over this one. Going during the winter when their is snow makes it a little more interesting. | |

| CzechMark | To the trail runner talking about Mailbox Peak Date Climbed: Jan 30, 2011 | |
| My girlfriend and I climbed Mt. Si on Sunday the 30th and we met you (trail runner talking about Mailbox Peak to a fellow hiker) at the steps just below the summit flats. You had a close fitting beanie and told me that Mailbox was a good training spot for Rainier. If you recognize yourself from the post, email me. I'd like to pick your brain on other mountaineering topics if possible. | |

| CzechMark | Re: Lost track | |
| Same here. Definitely is a zoo. Went up yesterday and had to deal with some college kids in sweatpants running around throwing snowballs and yelling into their cell phones. Definitely the last time I do Si for a while. Next time I do it, It'll be in a crappy weather. Could use a bit more of a challenge and a smaller crowd haha. | |

| ExcitableBoy | Too many times to count | |
| Usually done as a run, often times I do repeats when training up for an ultra race. PR: 45 minutes up, 30 minutes down. | |

| No 003, personal climber's log. Unrelenting and frosty is how I remember this hike, I don't believe I went onto the haystack the first time (March 21, 2008) but made it to the true summit on the second attempt. | |

| Paul86 | Great Time Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2009 | |

| Arkitekt | Started Late Date Climbed: Nov 11, 2004 | |
| I started this hike very late and ended up coming down the trail by cell phone lights. Once I got to the car I realized i had 4 flashlights IN MY CAR! I've learned a lot since then. | |
