mattdalmanChimney Tops Trail  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Oct 15, 2009

Started the hike in the rain. It eventually stopped raining but the summit rocks were still a little dangerous from being slick, but still made it to the top.

Date Climbed: Mar 16, 2009

This was my first mountain. Being from Indiana, I had never hiked or climbed anything larger than a hill before. Upon reaching the top I discovered the allure of the mountains - an awakened feeling that continues to push me to new heights.

Cloudy and rained a little at the summit.

Did this right before heading off to Clingmens dome. Super fun rockish climb at the end. Tried it years before, but thunder storm pushed us off. Glad to finally get it done!

In preperation for Mount LeConte tomorrow. Views weren't bad - a little rain on the way back. A rare dose of peace and solitude on top for at least 20 minutes.

Nice but steep hike. Trail eroded, badly in a few spots, but no surprise given its popularity. Made it to the very top after a slightly exposed rock scramble.

Almost made it but because of a dizzy spell couldn't make it up the scramble. My hubby hasn't given up on me yet though.

Date Climbed: May 18, 2007

This was to be my second time out of seven climbing the Chimneys in 2007. This was an awesome-fun hike and scramble; so far the best peak I've found in the Smokies. This mountain just makes me crave more scrambling.The traverse to the second Chimney is crazy fun; I'm now a scrambling junkie trying to get a fix. Heaven help me if I can get out west and climb some 14ers

Great little hike with my later to be wife (two years later)...this was apart of showing her many of the joys of hiking.

SbrandeCompletely Socked In  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Jul 6, 1997

We came, we conquered, but we saw nothing. Completely socked in though the clouds looked hopeful when we started. I will never go to the Smokies in the summer again except for the waterfalls - crisp low humidity fall is the time to go.

eric-grizA great hike  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Oct 22, 2006

I hiked up there with my wife Noelle. The only drawback was the annoying group of boy scouts and their leaders at the summit.

Bill JirousekCT Trail  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Nov 7, 2007

Had a few hours in the late afternoon to spare so I decided to climb chimney tops. I'd driven past it a few times & always wanted to stop. It was a fun climb, pretty easy for the most part until the end. The scramble to the top was a lot of fun. The skies were clear and there were great views in all directions.

Date Climbed: Oct 13, 2007

Really crowded at the top. I hiked it via AT then Road Prong; heppily I caught a ride at Indian Gap on the way back and didn't have to hike the last 1.7 miles. Next time, I leave the crowds and go to the lower chimney.

Date Climbed: Jul 20, 2007

I began the hike at 6:40 pm, avoiding the crowds. I enjoyed the scramble on the last leg of the summit.

Fun little hike, the scramble at the end was pretty cool and the views along the trail at the top were great. A must do if you are in the area.
