| wiredroach | Way Back When  Date Climbed: Aug 15, 1994 | |
| Climbed North Trapper in late summer 1994 via the southeast couloir. The crux of this climb is getting to the base of the peak! The hike into the upper cirque was a horrible slog, and the trip back down was just as bad. (We carried full packs and overnighted in the cirque.) The climb of the peak itself was fantastic; it's a fun scramble up the couloir with one short roped pitch that follows a nice dihedral crack. Pleasantly exposed summit ridge, and permanent metal summit register box containing lots of names, including that of the late Alex Lowe. Views were nice despite the muggy, smoky skies. | |

| figurenine | Too much snow | |
| Tried to climb the north face yesterday via trapper creek. Way too much fresh snow and snowing too hard up high. Thinking about returning later this winter when theres better weather and hopefully finding nice compact snow or hard thick ice to climb. | |

| June 14, 2008 More snow than two years ago, but perfect weather. Wait for the sun to soften the snow if you don't have crampons. June 11, 2006 Clouds threatened all day, but didn't drop anything on us. Good day out. | |

| Climbed with Mike (thephotohiker) and Nathan (from Salmon). Great climb, fun mountain, with good mixed climbing. Great spring climb to take advantage of snow couloirs. | |

| Beautiful, fun peak. One of my favorites in the Bitterroots. Quite an arduous day, but well worth it. I'll definitely be back to give some other routes a try. | |

| One of the summer's best climbs, and one of the best ever! North Trapper Peak now takes over top spot in my own personal "Most difficult mountain climbed" list (supplanting the Mission's Gray Wolf Peak--also done this summer--Colorado's Capitol Peak, and several GNP summits). Very, very enjoyable day with Tim Sharp, Mike Hoyt, Meleah Himber, Fred Rhoderick, and Matt Wright. This one has memories...! | |

| 9jun07 Climbed for the second time. This time with Forest Dean (Missoula, MT) and Nathan (Salmon, ID). Weather was close to perfect. My first climb in snow-filled couloirs. Hard work, to be sure. 14Oct06 A party of 6, led by Tim Sharp, had a delightful day traveling to the summit of North Trapper. For me it was perfect! | |
