| climbed it many times with friends and even the Boy Scouts, all in winter. We had good weather which made it nice. Actually, we were lucky. | |

| Nice trail with a good scramble to keep it interesting. Good training day hike. Too bad it was so cloudy that day. | |

| Redwic | A lot of natural handholds, but... Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2009 | |
| ... the final summit block took me by surprise. I would have been more comfortable if I had not been solo, but I persevered. One small slip, and I would have been a goner. The trail, however, was awesome. I loved seeing the old-growth trees; some of the largest I have ever seen in Washington are on this mountain. There was a small family of mountain goats (one mother, three babies) at the summit, which darted away before I could take a photo of them. Some fresh cougar tracks were near the summit, as well. | |

| Nice trainig climb with a fun scramble section at the top. Nothing much scarrier than Si for example, but a bit more exposed. | |

| farrisgl | Outstanding view of the I90 corridor Date Climbed: Aug 16, 1990 | |
| Hiked this on a really clear Pacific Northwest day in the late afternoon. The view off the top of the butte provided a strikingly good look down on I90. | |

| Good training hike, though nothing extraordinary about the hike itself. The scramble at the top definitely got my attention! Though technically quite easy (class 2-3), the exposure is pretty significant. It took me a few moments to gather my courage and get to the top. Great views on a mostly clear day! I saw Baker, Glacier, Stuart, Rainier & Adams! | |

| Good to be back. This was an unofficial OSAT trip. There were about 8 of us in our group and a total of 21 people and 4 dogs on the summit. | |

| bgratias | Better than Si | |
| The drive is a little longer than for Mt. Si, but it is worth it because it is a longer hike with fewer people. | ||

| Jer | Great hike close to Seattle | |
| Great day hike with good views. The scramble at the end gets you clear of the trees for good views. | |

| bmwboarder7 | Sweet hike and scramble Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2008 | |
| All around a good hike. There were lots of mosquitos, and even in late July there was more snow then I planned on, making the last little bit quite fun, but otherwise good. The weather was great, the scramble was fun and not too hard, though I agree there is some definite exposure. Also saw several Pileated Woodpeckers, probably the most I've ever seen in one place. No mtn goats though sadly. | |

| I have been up this a number of times. Turned back on one attempt because of rhime ice on the final scramble part. Everyone I know calls this mountain McClellans Butt! | |

| Good conditioning hike, very similar to Mt. Si but a little longer. Short scramble to the top was fun. | |

| Been up there four or five times. Never the scramble to the summit though | |

| nodbod | Fun Hike | |
| Hiked it many times with DAF... Fun little scramble at the top. Good if you want to avoid the crowds on Si... | |

| RdyHiker | Mountain Goats on this Side of the Pass! Date Climbed: Sep 24, 2006 | |
| And would you believe neither my hiking partner nor I brought our cameras that day?! Two goats - they looked to be young'ens - stared down at us as we rounded the last corner. We were not the only hikers amazed to see them there. The other handful of people on the trail were as stunned and excited as we were. Terrific day, aside from the goats, also- perfect weather, great new hiking buddy and a good workout. I like this trail despite the grim trek up the road at the start. I'll like it even more when the very latest newly blazed section, bypassing the road, opens soon. | |
