AndinistalocoMostly S face.  Sucess!

Good introduction to climbing in Glacier. Nothing too technically difficult but the exposure and shit-rock means you ought to respect it anyway. Killer views (when I wasn't in a cloud).

FlatheadJimSE Gulley snow climb  Sucess!

Usually climb the SE Gulley (fairly prominent gulley quite a way to the left of the big cleft in the E face) every year as soon as the road opens up - - ski in to the base of the gulley, ditch the gear and straight up. The gulley is steep, up to 70 degrees + in spots. It is good spring training.

Climb pretty much each June/July since 2002.

Date Climbed: Sep 8, 2008

Easy, fun climb to the top via Hidden Lake. Nothing worse than class 3 encountered. We just aimed left of the large rift in the east face of the mountain and found an enjoyable way up. Wonderful view of the park, including the Floral Park/Sperry Glacier complex to the south.

In J. Gordon Edwards' 'A Climber's Guide to Glacier National Park', he remarks that the summit that most climber's reach, which is located at the far north end of the mountain, is not actually the true summit. The true summit is located slightly to the southwest. The cairn for the southwest summit is visible from a distance. He notes that the ridge to the true summit is very difficult and has some precarious spots; however, a climbing partner and myself made the traverse from the north summit to the southwest summit with no difficulty in less than an hour. The view is not much different, but the climbing along the ridge was awesome!

Date Climbed: Aug 13, 1988

One summit was in great weather, the next in heavy mist and light rain. I preferred the latter, which was a very still, quiet adventure, with my head in the coulds and completely cut off from the world! One of the best views anywhere!

Many thanks to Blair & Peggie from New Hampshire who I joined up with en route, helped with route finding, and were wonderful company. We all enjoyed the climb and marvelled at the views.

This was my very first Glacier Park peak - the rock took some getting used to, but the view from the top was spectacular.
