| Saw a dead mountain goat below the summit block, which was kind of ominous. The descent was heinous in the dark and rain, and so was the fact that we missed the last bus and had to walk most of that paved road. | |

| Great climb. Very loose, but a fun route finding problem. Don't descend it though. | |

| Fun stuff, simple route up, couple of routes to speed things up on the traverse. 10:00 car to car for the traverse.... | |

| Spectacular climb, lots of fun, not too hard. Got off route a bit on the big ascent gully -- lots of loose rock and dirt. Really beautiful and fun the whole way up. | |

| traverse was much easier than expected. followed the exact ridge a majority of the way. climbed a few 5.3-5.4 pitches with one 5.5 move. didn't always follow the easy path in an attempt for fun. smaller summit than expected. jamie | |

| Started from the trailhead about 5am, summited at 9:30. Great climb, fun and relatively stable class 3 with a few class 4 spots from 13,500'. Chased off the summit by an early bout of storms -- lots of electrical activity and graupel for about 20 minutes. Still, what a blast! #47 of the 54 14ers for me! | |

| Weather came early despite the slight chance forcast. Traverse was not a good idea when I reached the top. oh well. 4 hr 50 min round trip from the trailhead with 45 min summit stay. 53rd 14er! | |

| I had my first experience with the Maroon Bells today and it turned out to be a perfect day. A friend and I drove to the trailhead last night, slept for a few hours and then started at 3 am. We first climbed South Maroon Peak and reached the summit at 8:30 and then did the traverse to North Maroon and had a wonderful time. Due to some knee problems (my friend always has them and I had a stupid crash on my bike last week and hurt my knee) however, the descent was pretty grueling. | |

| Started at 4 am from the trailhead, reached summit around 9 am. Fun class 4 scramble, great views of Snowmass and Capitol from the top. | |

| It took some work, but Old Ickabod and I reached the summit. It is steep and exposed at times, but careful routefinding and caution pays off. We planned on doing the traverse, but winds and snow changed our minds. A great peak! | |

| Great day! Traverse was a blast! Great partners, Alan and Andy, too! Traverse was pretty straight-forward despite the numerous different opinions and descriptions of it. We completed the traverse with no gear other than helmets. Highly recommended! Descended via Northeast Ridge. | |

| Lots of snow, treacherous in spots. Aaron and I were among the first to climb the Maroon Bells that summer. | |

| There is a half inch or snow on top and off an on fog. I'ts actually realitively clear as compared to our view of South Maroon. We were going to do the North to South traverse however the clouds and snow are conspiring against us. Inspite of ir all its actually a very beautiful day to climb. | |

| Snow and ice above 13,000 ft made for a fun and interesting climb. 4th class crux may be hardest move on any 14er standard route. | |
