| Bkoziol3 | RPR at a Hate Pace Date Climbed: Sep 19, 2009 | |
| cruised up to RPR on a beautiful Adirondack morning via Giant Route... some of the best views i've had in the dacks.. arrived at 8 am to cloud coverd peaks with deep blue skies. great climb but a crowd heading towards Giant. spent 30 mins alone on RPR taking in the solitude, before fighting my way back down the Zander Trail. a cold night left ice all over the place at higher elevations. definitely check out the 60 yard side trail descending Giant to RPR to have a close up of the massive slides on the East side of Giant. Its unmarked on the left, marked by a large fallen birch tree. Great Day!!! | |

| Reached this summit first from Ridge Trail. Very windy and cloudy, which sucks because I've heard the view is amazing. Welcomed by a huge cairn at the top. Then went over to Giant and down Roaring Brook | |

| An Adirondack Classic in my book. Hiked from the East with the fall foliage at peak. Everything about this hike is great. The elevation gain is challenging and Bald peak is very very cool. The summit of RPR has some of the best views in the Dack's in my opinion. | |

| Climbed with Giant via Giant Mountain Trail from Route 73. Although most hikers only go up to Giant, Rocky Peak Ridge is a much better mountain in my book. The views were fantastic; we could see all of the Eastern Adirondacks and even the Green Mountains across Lake Champlain. Nice to cool off in Chapel Pond after a hot day! | |

| Florida Frank | long day for the dog Date Climbed: Jul 5, 2008 | |
| Climbed from Chapel Pond over Giant and then down the ridge to the East. Giant was packed. Only a few other hikers on RPR. Fine, clear day and a bit warm. My poor dog Koira made her last long climb. She decided she had enough hiking with about five miles to go. There was quite a bit of carrying to get her down the mountain. Not to worry, the old girl has since recovered fine! | |

| Hiked with Paul for peak #20/46. Light snow/flurries most of the day with no views from the top. : ( Still a fun peak. Steep getting back to the trail junction for Giant. Challenging hike for the calves! : ) | |

| PellucidWombat | Second Adirondack Peak Hiked Date Climbed: Sep 2, 2007 | |
| I left my family on the main trail to the summit of Giant and scrambled/jogged over to this summit and back. Round trip was about 40 minutes of huffing and puffing to get out some unspent energy! | |

| KyleCozzens | Rocky Peak Ridge via Giant Date Climbed: Sep 30, 2007 | |
| I didn't have a hiking partner for the day, so I hiked up Giant and decided to head over to Rocky Peak Ridge while I was up there. I wasn't very impressed with the view from Giant, but the view from the backside of RPR was amazing. I found a nice big rock to eat lunch on and just sat there for a while enjoying the view and the silence. | |

| CookieMonster | Better than Giant? Date Climbed: Aug 13, 1996 | |
| Agree that this peak doesn't get enough credit. I liked the little lake visible from the summit and feeling of isolation. Always wanted to come back and climb this from the East during the Fall. | |

| Hit this up after doing Giant. Was all by myself the whole day. Cold down low, nice and frosty up high. There were a few leaves on the trees. Great day. | |

| Enapai | Via Giant from Chapel Pond Date Climbed: Jan 19, 2007 | |
| Hit the summit of Giant Mt then followed the foot path over to Rocky Peak Ridge. Our group (of 8) decided that in the col between the two, we would bushwack down to the washbowl. As the creek was not frozen, we 'whacked through some thick brush. Overall a good time was had, and we surprised three other hikers coming down Giant by trampling right out onto the trail from the woods in front of them. | |
