| toddschwarz | West ridge  Date Climbed: Jul 26, 2009 | |
| Perfect day heading up the west ridge from the camp ground. Thanks to all for the warning about the brush and nettle at the lower trail. That sucked came down that way. But all else was spectacular. Saw a bull elk scrambling across the scree just below the summit. Quite a ruckus. | |

| Did the climb up the trail from Federal Gulch. Easy drive in. Tall brush up the creek, including stinging nettle. Nice, windless day, with temp in the 70s and no wind- we had a smorgasbord lunch on top for over an hour in shirtsleeves. Sweet! H B-day to me. | |

| Climbed a new route, I call Gully#2 (will be up soon). This was a tricky climb once I got off the trail. Lots of loose scree. The view at the summit was INCREDIBLE! | |

| sadicoff | Route Climbed: Federal Gulch up/West Ridge down Date Climbed: September 20, 2005 | |
| Enjoyed a beautiful fall day with my dog Jessie. Found a geocache at the summit. Kept hearing what I thought was bugling, but didn't quite sound right. Then I saw below me a white animal, thought maybe it was a wayward cow from the valley. As I descended the ridgeline, I came upon a goat. We were both startled. I'm not sure what a domestic goat was doing way up here. Also came upon a moose further down in the trees on the west ridge. | |

| ker b | Route Climbed: federal gulch/west ridge Date Climbed: aug 9, 2005 | |
| lower half of trail is extremely overgrown with weeds/flowers and unfortunatly stinging nettle. we had shorts on and it did not feel good. nice weather on the way up and then the clouds started forming pretty bad on the way down with lightning over the main portion of the pioneers, we escaped and even had more sunshine once back in the lower portion of federal gulch. took about 5.5 hours total. this has been a wet summer and the weeds/flower still green this late in the season. almost thought it was june... ker-b | ||

| Climbed through falling snow and low visibility to summit with bigdan. We headed directly up the west ridge instead of travelling up Federal Gulch. | |

| A great mountain for scoping out more difficult Pioneer ascents... The wind on this day was blowing so hard on the ridge I could barely walk up. I estimated the wind chill factor in the single digits (in June)... Yikes! | |
