| ericwillhite | Timp and all it's sub peaks  Date Climbed: Oct 13, 2007 | |
| Great Mountain, attempted it 11 years ago but ended up making out with my (now wife) in the meadows below. Ran out of time and had to hurry down to make our flight home. Returned 10 years later to get it. Another trip grabbed the south peak, Roberts Horn and the East peak.

| x4wheeling | Refreshing in Summer Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2008 | |
| Great summer hike, very refreshing to be up and out of the heat. Great glissade down the glacier above Emerald Lake, that same day a hiker broke his leg glissading down. | |

| klimbien | Timpanooke Date Climbed: Sep 13, 2008 | |
| The Timpanooke trail is super easy...go for a walk, summit, and get back home with a great feeling of satisfaction b/c you spent all day out side but didn't have to work very hard to get great views and a nice summit experience. | |

| Digiclimber | Favorite Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2006 | |
| Probably my favorite peak, I try to climb it at least once a year but I just moved back to Utah so I haven't in a few years. Would love to try an alpine style winter climb someday. | |

| rockthrowjoe | Aspen Grove route Date Climbed: Jul 23, 2002 | |
| Started hike from Aspen Grove at 3am. Summited by 6am to see the sunrise. The moon was bright so I didn't even use a flashlight past the waterfall. Since I wasn't using a flashlight my eyes adjusted to the dark so well that at one point I noticed the plants around me and the trail in front of me were all of sudden getting lighter. So I stopped and looked up in the dark sky and saw a very bright shooting star travelling towards the earth at a fairly sharp angle. And I could even hear a slight "fffttt" sound. After the meteor burned up I could still see it's trail illuminated by the light of the moon. Definitely one of the coolest experiences I've had. Also I did the whole hike up and down with a quart of water. I was so dehydrated. I also got off the trail and lost for awhile crossing the boulder field on the north side of Timp. That day was my birthday and later on I went water-skiing for the first time. | |

| Kadee | A Must Do... | |
| 7/16/06 - Aspen Grove - Timp was one of my goals for 2006 when I first started hiking. Got to do it twice that year. 9/10/06 - Timpooneke - One of Greg's friends wanted to do Timp so we decided to try a different trail. | |

| jareds | timpanooke - snow Date Climbed: Oct 18, 2008 | |
| snow about a mile into the hike, a well-defined boot-pack that had hardened, navigating it made for sore knees. beautiful day. once to the ridge we hit 30mph winds from the west which made things freezing cold up to the summit hut. fun day, good time of year to do it as you beat the crowds. ~4 hours up, ~3 hours down. no snowshoes/spikes/axe or anything special. | |

| Hiked early in the morning as the sun rose. Waterfalls, wildflowers, and mountain goats all made for a very scenic trip to the summit. | |

| spengy | Good Pioneer Day Hike Date Climbed: Jul 24, 2008 | |
| Hiked up the Aspen Grove trail today. I was on the trail by about 8:30 AM. I took my sweet time and reached the top around noon. The mountain is very beautiful this time of year - still very green. There is still some snow in the rock field, but not enough to cause trouble to fools like myself who hike in Vans tennis shoes and shorts. The mountain goats were out in full force. | |

| PocketsOfBlue | Everest Ridge Date Climbed: Apr 5, 2008 | |
| 4/5/08: Went (mostly) up Timp, left from Dry Canyon TR at 330 am and met a bunch of people from the Serac club right after they turned around at the upper traverse just below the summit. The weather was actually pretty nice until a nasty system blew in barraging us with a fierce wind and horizontal snow pellets. I turned around at about 11300 ft in the middle of the 'step' due to deteriorating conditions and not wanting to solo low 5th class mixed terrain...the downclimb sucked and rock was atrocious. Beautiful route though, very direct and aesthetic. 4/12/08: Success! Quite a bit of snow fell during the week which made for a bit more postholing. Climbed both steps solo, both were snow-covered. Fun scrambling! Gained the summit ridge about an hour past dawn and traversed over to the summit for a glorious view. What an awesome mountain. Left the Dry Canyon TR at 2:45a and summited around 8. | |

| JDrake | The perfect mountain Date Climbed: Oct 3, 2010 | |
| 10/10 Update. My wife finally went on a hike with me. She and I summited to the usual crowd the first Saturday in October. I resisted the urge to get in a fistfight with those on top. I love Timp. My goal is a winter ascent, but until then you can find me going up and down the regular trails and even blazing a few of my own. I'll never forget the time I descended down the west face after summiting with some friends - at 16 it lit a fire in me for this mountain. | |
