| distressbark | Lee Ridge approach  Date Climbed: Sep 1, 2009 | |
| long, fantastic approach from Lee Ridge Trail (trailhead is 1/2 mile south of Belly River Customs). found climber's trail south of Gable Pass and took it to large talus field south of Ninaki Papoose and The Squaw. tedious traverse around the two, but after that, a well-worn trail can be followed up the west scree slopes of Chief. found notch in north ridge described by Gordon Edwards, and followed another great trail from there. sketchiest part of the climb was up the actual summit block; group tried a couple different ways up, but never found anything easier than class III/class IV. amazing summit. astounding views of the entire park to the south and west. truly a privilege to be up there. | |

| chilkoot | An amazing peak! | |
| Followed the boundary swath between GNP and the Blackfeet Reservation, then hiked up the West Slope route. I love this peak for its location on the edge of the Rockies and the Great Plains. Gordon Edwards had signed into the summit register a day or two before I did and I was bummed to have missed the chance to meet him. At age 20, this was the most serious summit I had attained at the time. | |

| vanman798 | Route Climbed: Southwest Slope Route Date Climbed: August 8, 2005 | |
| Bagged the peak for the third time on August 8, 2005. The trail to the base was a bit harder to follow since the piece fall off the front of Chief in the early 90's(?). In fact we lost the trail for a while on the return hike. The instructions and directions on this site were very helpful. I've climbed this mountain three times, once in 1978, and again in 1979 and most recently in August 2005. Both times I went up in the 1970's, as a kid, I went with my mom, and brother and a group of folks lead by Bob Low of Cardston. | |
