| My first 3000m peak in Canada, since then I have been several times on this easy and enjoyable hike. | |

| sprosseda | Scramble route Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2010 | |
| Very fun mountain with great views. Very steep trail. Endless rubble field is easy going since rocks don't slide with every step. Counted about 20 mountains over 11,000 ft from top (some being in the Purcells). Great view of Spray Lakes and Assiniboine. 2.5 hours up, 5 hours round trip. | |

| To the top once again. On my birthday. Was to do the Fortress but bear closures made for a change of plans. Cheers William | |

| William Marler | Superb day Date Climbed: Oct 13, 2007 | |
| Excellent day out. The snow conditions made this more like a mountaineering day than a scramble. Weather cooperated wonderfully. Some of the best views I have had of the surrounding peaks such as Assiniboine. Makes Mount Lougheed seem small. | |

| Jean Paul Samson | Gorgeous Views, Sunny Skies, Near Knee Deep Snow Date Climbed: Sep 29, 2006 | |
| The larches still held their golden plume on this warm, late September day. Snow, likely the remains from the bout of bad weather in mid-September, began about 350-400 m below the summit (altitude 2800-2850 m). The depth was typically ankle to shin deep. The soft snow probably made it easier on the final, steep ascent to the summit. Departed 10:45 a.m. using the Read's Ridge approach and topped out at 3:45 p.m. Took a longer, alternative route via Sparrowhawk Creek descending southwest from the notch, arriving back at the trailhead at 7:15 p.m. | ||

| Ferenc Jacso | Snowshoes Work Too Date Climbed: Mar 19, 2006 | |
| This was a perfect winter day, fresh snow, sunshine and low avalanche danger. Still managed to produce some whomps... on relatively low angled slopes. I climbed the standard route mostly on snowshoes but had to use crampons and ice axe on the summit block. Awesome winter views. | |

| Dow Williams | Route Climbed: Scramble, rather ski though... Date Climbed: September, 2003 | |
| This was one of those weather days where you had to walk into the storm to summit. I took my trusted companion BJ on this one and hit 6' visibility and deep snow. So I anchored him down with my ice axe and pack and continued to the summit solo. Cheers! | |

| RedWolf_ca | Route Climbed: west (scramble route) Date Climbed: August 2, 1996 | |
| Seems to be more than one way to get to the lower scree slopes (left or right of the rock spur). A few snowfields on the upper scree slopes before the summit block. Somewhat loose terrain on the backside to the top. | ||
