| To the top once again. On my birthday. Was to do the Fortress but bear closures made for a change of plans. Cheers William | |

| William Marler | Superb day Date Climbed: Oct 13, 2007 | |
| Excellent day out. The snow conditions made this more like a mountaineering day than a scramble. Weather cooperated wonderfully. Some of the best views I have had of the surrounding peaks such as Assiniboine. Makes Mount Lougheed seem small. | |

| The larches still held their golden plume on this warm, late September day. Snow, likely the remains from the bout of bad weather in mid-September, began about 350-400 m below the summit (altitude 2800-2850 m). The depth was typically ankle to shin deep. The soft snow probably made it easier on the final, steep ascent to the summit. Departed 10:45 a.m. using the Read's Ridge approach and topped out at 3:45 p.m. Took a longer, alternative route via Sparrowhawk Creek descending southwest from the notch, arriving back at the trailhead at 7:15 p.m. | ||

| Ferenc Jacso | Snowshoes Work Too Date Climbed: Mar 19, 2006 | |
| This was a perfect winter day, fresh snow, sunshine and low avalanche danger. Still managed to produce some whomps... on relatively low angled slopes. I climbed the standard route mostly on snowshoes but had to use crampons and ice axe on the summit block. Awesome winter views. | |

| Dow Williams | Route Climbed: Scramble, rather ski though... Date Climbed: September, 2003 | |
| This was one of those weather days where you had to walk into the storm to summit. I took my trusted companion BJ on this one and hit 6' visibility and deep snow. So I anchored him down with my ice axe and pack and continued to the summit solo. Cheers! | |

| Seems to be more than one way to get to the lower scree slopes (left or right of the rock spur). A few snowfields on the upper scree slopes before the summit block. Somewhat loose terrain on the backside to the top. | ||
