| I went from Burns Gulch. There was about 2 feet of snow in the upper basin. I climbed a direct snow line before the Jones/Niagara Saddle. | |

| Not the easiest way to get these 3, but this turned out to be the last of 3 13ers on the day as I traversed over from Jones after climbing American via the Independence Couloir. | |

| altitude14er | Route Climbed: East Ridge via Burns Gulch Date Climbed: Jun 25, 2009 | |
| A fantastic route, except for this small and easy path up Niagara, it would otherwise be very difficult as most of the peak is rotten 5th class nightmare routes...tagging the nearby Jones Mtn was well worth the extra effort. Watch the falling rock on Niagara, falling rock on the East Ridge deposits itself into the upper reaches of Burns Gulch!! | |

| SarahThompson | From American Basin Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2006 | |
| Climbed American, Jones & Niagara from American Basin. Not the best way of nabbing these three peaks, but my friend was climbing Handies so I made this route work. The scree slope up to American's west ridge was rather treacherous and I had to reclimb Jones after summitting Niagara. | |

| chicagotransplant | American Pie Date Climbed: Oct 27, 2007 | |
| Climbed from Jones and American, basically followed Gerry Roach's "American Pie" route from his 13ers book. Surprisingly not much snow on the south sides of these peaks, almost no need for gaitors even! | |

| gremlin | normal route | |
| watch out for the marmots that'll ride back in your car, didn't notice the one that hitched a ride with me until it bumped the exhaust the next day (and made the jeep smell like burned hair for a few days) | |

| bc44caesar | East Ridge Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2006 | |
| Started near the end of the 4x4 road. Straightforward climb. The whole area was enveloped in clouds so the views weren't all that great. | |

| Long day for Niagra and American, especially after Coxcomb and a long night in Silverton waiting for Zach M to score, but fun. | |

| Another great peak. Left a summit register jar for future climbers. Really enjoyed this area. The views are outstanding in every direction. | |

| km_donovan | Route Climbed: "Donovan Direct" from Burns Gulch TH Date Climbed: Sep 9, 2004 | |
| Turned off of the Standard Route and took a more direct line via the snow. It was about 18 inches deep in the deepest places and made for a great climb. At one point durring the climb I stopped to look down the valley and thought "this is why I became a climber". | |

| JonBradford | Route Climbed: South Ridge from Snare Gulch Date Climbed: September 2, 2002 | |
| Niagara Peak is a fine mountain. It probably has the finest summit view in this region of grand vistas (it compares favorably with nearby Handies Peak). Along on this climbe were my dogs Sopris and Raymond. Jon Bradford | |
