| Climbed the very cool North Buttress - steep rock with juggy holds. Very nice line and lots of fun. Great summit views to top it off. | |

| ash80 | Via Glacier Gorge | |
| Was a fun hike in. A lot of scree though going up the mountain and ended up being one of the harder ones I have ever done. | |

| Powdery snow and some wind combined to make this trip up Pagoda a bit of a toil, but fun none-the-less! | |

| Timothy Pearl | Toiling on a windy day Date Climbed: Oct 24, 2008 | |
| With Mike B, had a nice day going up the NE ridge. Some of the best views I've ever seen from a summit. NOAA predicted a "blustery" day that only turned out windy, so we didn't have to resort to plan B of ice climbing. A blanket of powdery snow made it just strenuous enough to call it a day of toiling. | |

| Ditto what everyone says about the beauty of the approach. I enjoyed seeing Long's peak and the other side of the keyhole route from lower down. | |

| Beautiful day on this solo climb of Pagoda via Glacier Gorge. Some snow and ice in the basin above Black Lake and the gully to the saddle was awful - extremely loose and difficult going. Views from top were amazing. | |

| HIGH EXPEDITIONS | Route Climbed: Glacier Gorge. Date Climbed: Oct 29, 2004 | |
| Pagoda Mountain 4,113 m (13,497 ft). Did the climb with Colorado Mountain Club members. The approaching to the mountain and the climb itself was great, despite the windchill at the top. The views of Longspeak were amazing!. | |

| Traversed over from the base of the Homestretch. Dropped down through the cliff band and ascended straight up. We dropped down the final gulley below the cliff band and traversed back to the keyhole, definitely the best route. | |

| I love the hike up to the shelf above Black Lake, but all that scree on the last stretch makes me question if I'd do it again any time soon. | |

| NanitaD | From Hunter Creek Date Climbed: Aug 29, 1998 | |
| I finally made it to the top on my third attempt. The first two attempts were from the Black Lake side. The third time we back packed up Hunters Creek and camped in the cross country zone below Keplinger's lake. We decended via the west ridge to the saddle between Pagoda and Chiefs Head. A spectacular place to be on an August day. | |

| Mountain Jim | Route Climbed: East Ridge Date Climbed: August 1970 | |
| Climbed via the East Ridge ... descended via the West Ridge. The descent was considerably more difficult than the ascent. I've visited this summit 4 more times since 1970. | |

| What a mountian. The approach, the views along the route & the summit were absolutely amazing. Upper Glacier Gorge impresses me more and more every time I visit. The middle third of that gully sucks though. | |

| RyanS | Route Climbed: Northeast Ridge from Longs' summit Date Climbed: August 7, 2004 | |
| After climbing Longs and Meeker from the Longs Peak Trailhead, we made the traverse to Pagoda, which involves an interesting downclimb through what Roach terms "a pesky cliff band." Otherwise, the traverse is straightforward. Good lord, the view of Longs you get from Pagoda's summit! And Pagoda's south and east facing cliffs are beyond comparison! After returning to the Longs/Pagoda saddle, we descended south down a nasty scree gully (it sounds as bad as the one from Glacier Gorge), bushwhacked to the unique Sandbeach Lake, and hiked the Sandbeach Lake Trail to a vehicle we had dropped at the Copeland Lake Trailhead. A trip report is available here. | |

| A great hike into a beautiful area. The climb is great except for the 1500 ft from Green Lake to the Col leading to the summit. This was filled with some of the worst scree and talus I've seen in a while. I didn't see anyone else until I started down past Black Lake. Little did I know that just minutes ahead of me was Kane who is the maintainer of this page. I'd never met him until after the climb (me on Pagoda and Kane on Spearhead) back at the trailhead. It really is a small world. | |

| A long day but the scenery more than makes up for the long approach. Pagoda was one of my favorites. | |

| Long's worthy neighbor. One of the most beautiful approach hikes in the State. | |
