| TwaMontana | Bishops Cap  Date Climbed: Aug 1, 2009 | |
| Walked the ridge over from Pollock after first ascending it. Returned back to Pollock, down the cleft then dropped off the east side of the saddle to Piegan Pass and out to Siyeh Bend. Very windy day 20-30mph. Did it again three weeks later with another friend. This time descending via the drainage between Pollock and Bishops Cap. Again very windy. Wonder if it wind ever stops up there. | |

| distressbark | traverse from Pollock Mountain Date Climbed: Sep 2, 2009 | |
| gorgeous, breezy day atop the summit. traversed to Bishops Cap after summit of Pollock. followed a great climber's trail and plenty of cairns on the class III climb to the summit. the east face of Bishops Cap is truly stunning - talk about sheer! amazing views all around. returned to Pollock, and rather than climbing back up to the summit, we followed a wide, scree-covered ledge at the base of the cliffs west of the summit block. very easy walk all the way back to saddle between Pollock and Piegan; simple, scenic descent down to Piegan Pass from there. | |

| What a fun summit. Great climbing on Glacier rock. Not as difficult as I was expecting. A thrilling summit to stand on. Great views as well. Would do this mountain again in a heartbeat. Fantastic! Climbed with Vern, Fred and Moni. Great mountain, great climbing companions. | |

| Nice traverse from Pollock Mountain--including one point of peeking over the edge into all the exposure you could ever hope for!--with Fred, Moni, and Ellen. Clambering up the actual "Cap" is loads of fun, and doing Pollock and Bishops Cap in one day makes for a very nice few hours on top of Glacier Park! This day's climb was on my birthday, making it one of the best such days ever--good effort, good view, good friends, we didn't get too wet, the lightning missed all of us...a sincerely terrific day. Thanks, guys... | |

| With Fred, Vern Garner and Ellen Ritt. A very fun climb. Weather was stormy with a thunderstorm coming. Only takes about 1/2 hour from the notch between Bishops Cap and Pollock. Once you are up there, doing Bishops Cap and Pollock together makes good sense. | |

| 2004 with Moni Spicker, Ellen Ritt, and Vernon Garner. Traversed from Pollock. Very windy with a thunderstorm threatening. 2002 solo from Highland Trail. In 1979 with Bob Stephan - a traverse of Bishops Cap, Pollock and Piegan Mountains starting from Highland Trail. A great day with a large herd of bighorn sheep on the west side of the Garden Wall. | |
