| Matt Lemke | Very nice fall day Date Climbed: Sep 18, 2011 | |
| We did this route after a week of not so nice weather. This tricky ridge was icy, and had snow cover amounting about 6 inches in spots. The clarity was great and the mountains were beautiful. I was a little sketched as I didn't bring my crampons though. | |

| Legpowered | Good day | |
| We climbed this route from below the first creek crossing. That couple with a climb to Conundrum (and return over Castle's summit b/c the snow was melted off the saddle) made for a really long and exhausting day | |

| First fourteener with my girlfriend. Nice climb and mostly easy with some moderate exposure coming down the NW ridge toward Conundrum. Glisade was a great time. Rock is definitely super loose. Great way to spend a day. Thanks to Amos Mace for his hospitality at the Mace hut ~10,800. | ||

| A fun climb on the North East Ridge. It snowed a little bit. It was horrible rock as usual in the Elks. The glissading was a kick. But a rope would be a waste of space to bring really. | |

| haytraci | Beautiful Hike Date Climbed: Aug 22, 2006 | |
| Awesome intro the Elks. Super loose rock on the way to the ridge, but managed to come away unscathed, despite a couple of close calls. Highly recommended, but be careful! | |

| Be very careful not to get sucked up into the NE ridge early. There are some cairns that people have marked in a very steep, unstable and dangerous boulderfield. A friend was almost crushed by a boulder twice his size when it rolled over him. He manged to come away with bumps and scratches. Be careful!!! This almost became a nightmare but actually ended up being a great day. The hike is easy but in adverse conditions could become tricky. Besides a few light showers and some nearby storms, we had good weather for the most part. | ||
