Date Climbed: Oct 25, 2009

The views looking back at the BRP are amazing in the Fall. The slopes of the mountains were ablaze with color. Easy 6.2 mile RT hike.

Just about everything is fun. It can get crowded when Fox Mountain Guides are there but there are enough routes to go around.

Despite the fact that the heat and humidity nearly killed us, Mom & I enjoyed the hike to the summit of this peak, and then on to the overlook. We especially enjoyed the blooming mountain laurel and azaelias along the way.

Great Climb. I only did the first pitch. The "eye brows" are interesting rock formations.

Chased off the mountain by bad weather on the third pitch. Some strange climbing on the "eyebrows".

Zac FinleySunday Solitude  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Jan 21, 2006

Started up the mountain from the looking glass rock trailhead just before nine in the morning. At first, when the rain started coming down, I wasn't thrilled, but soon appreciated it. I doubt there are many Sunday's throughout the year that I would have the summit and entire trail to myself like I did today. The actual summit didn't present much of a view, but skirt off to the left or right or straight across the summit about 1/4 mile offered beautiful Blue Ridge vistas. Just be careful hiking around the bald rocks this time of year. I tempted death a few times, slippin on clear ice patches.

Great Trail. Impressive Views from the top, only bad thing was that I forgot to put the memory card in my camera, therefore I took zero pictures. Yes, I was mad at myself. Guess I'll just do it again later.

Was traveling with a college soccer team at the time...stopped for a break and climbed the trail with them. Beautiful view at the top and fun little pond to jump/swim in at the bottom across from the trailhead.

sugie1986A View Well Deserved  Sucess!

I climbed this rock w/my cousin and some friends. My cousin did the lead climbing. The view from the very top was absoultely spectacular!! I suggest if you ever have the chance to climb any part of looking glass...you should do it.

Climbed The Nose, Peregrine. Great friction climbs. 4 pitches, some moves are real "balancy".
