| toddschwarz | Excellent summit | west ridge  Date Climbed: Sep 11, 2009 | |
| Couldn't have been a more perfect day and a great 9.11 memory. Clear, cloudless views of the Boulders, Whiteclouds (incredible view of Castle Peak), Sawtooths, Pioneers, and even south to Smoky Dome. | |

| DrGranola | Returning soon. Date Climbed: Jul 14, 2009 | |
| So I drove out there and found that the senate creek road actually fork's and it does not show it on my map. I started up what I thought was the correct ridge, turns out I was on the wrong one. After backtracking, and heading up the creek valley instead of the west ridge because I thought I would make better time, I made it to about the 9,000ft level and turned back due to the day getting late. Anyways, the conditions were warm with a nice breeze from time to time. I did see quite a few bear tracks and scat. The snow is limited to a few patches, non of which are on the west ridge. Lots of fallen trees and the rocky areas were very lose which made for somewhat of a difficult hike on steep slopes after I climbed out of the valley. I was disappointed that I had wasted 2hrs hiking in the wrong direction because I really wanted to get up this peak! I plan on returning soon and if anyone wants to come along or has any suggestions that might help that would be great! | |

| My first winter 11er. Climbed the southwest ridge with Geo and Splattski, then descended the west ridge with a nice glissade mixed in. Great weather and views. Here’s a trip-report and some photos. It was a great day! | |

| boisedoc | Bushwhack Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2004 | |
| A bit of a bushwhack. My dog made it most of the way up but tore his paws up a bit so he waited for me at treeline. Pretty short and to the point with essentially no approach before starting the ascent. | |

| We found the old mining trail quite low on the mountain, so it was a great hike. Lots of wind on top. | |

| Nine LHBCers made it to the top on our Saturday off. Great views from the top. Glissaded down a large section of snow. Very fun day hike. | |

| It was a nice hike with a litle bit of everything thrown in, but not to many extremes. Great views. | |
