| Baarb | Will be back Date Climbed: Jun 20, 2006 | |
| Took in Multnomah Falls before heading back into Washington to climb St. Helens, really really beautiful. Have seen precious little of Oregon but if this is anything to go by I'll be spending a lot of time out there in the not too distant future. | |

| My first hike was with my Dad up Devils Rest on 2/22. I didn't even pant once. I may be four months old but I was born for this. Did Dog Mountain the next week. No problem. This stuff is cake, I mean dog biscuits. It's fun to crap on the trail and make my Dad pick it up and carry it back to the trailhead. I get a kick out of that. PS-it's been a few months and now my Dad is wise to my tricks. He makes me wear a backpack now and carry my own crap in it back to the trailhead. Maybe I need to just hold it and crap in the car from now on................. PPS I've done Wind, Hamilton and Dog again now. | |

| Levi | An Amazing Place | |
| I have done a few of the trails and mountains. Not near as many as some of the people here but its a great place. Started in 2005 and have been there quite a few times since then | |

| OJ Loenneker | My Favorite Trainer | |
| Ahhh... the Gorge.. My fitness trainer for when I don't want to drive all the way to Hood or St. Helens. I think I have walked, hiked and scrambled nearly every path, and some that are not there so many times I loose track. (Even some you are not supposed to..) Great History and some creepy stuff sometimes too. | |

| Over those two years I had a great time in the Gorge, making it up Angel's Rest, Larch Mountain, Devil's Rest, Mount Defiance, Beacon Rock, Hamilton Mountain (twice), Dog Mountain (twice) and Augspurger Mountain. I saw a bear on one of my Dog Mountain trips and on Augspurger (in fact I didn't quite reach the summit since the bear charged off in its direction, and it seemed rather imprudent to follow). If you are in Portland this is must visit territory. | |

| JohnMcPike | Multnomah Overlook Date Climbed: Apr 1, 2001 | |
| We only hiked up to the Multnomah Overlook and also a little bit over by Wahkeena Falls. Columbia River Valley is a special must see place | |

| tarol | Multnomah Falls Several Times and others Date Climbed: Nov 25, 1995 | |
| I've hiked many of the trails in the Gorge. Did some studies on fish above Multnomah Falls with my evolution class in college. Also hiked around the Tom McCall Preserve with my botany class. It certainly is a beautiful place to explore! | |

| arcjay | Mt. Defiance Date Climbed: Jul 26, 2006 | |
| On Wednesday, a friend and I conquered Mt. Defiance. The day was beautiful, and the views were awesome. At one section toward the top of the Mt. Defiance Trail, we walked out onto a rock escarpment and had some amazing views of Wind Mt, St. Helens, Adams, and Ranier. Once on top, Mt. Hood was gorgeous. We took Defiance Trail up, and Mitchell Pt-Starvation Ridge Trail down. All trails are in good shape. There is some maintenance on Starvation Ridge which is going to be nice when its finished. Both trails are STEEP, so be prepared. Take lots of water because it is a SWEAT! Note: When you follow Mitchell Point down from the summit, the trail forks near Warren Lake. Take the right fork down to the lake/campground and continue east. The unmarked fork (left) takes you to a most impressive arrangement of gargantuan boulders on top of a rise with great views of Mt. Adams. The Mitchell Pt. trail eventually runs into Starvation Ridge trail which will take you back down to sea-level. I hope this helps those who are willing to try. Lace up those boots tight and enjoy the experience. | |

| arcjay | Long live the Gorge | |
| All of these hikes I have done in 2006. To begin with the easier hikes, I have done Multnomah Falls, Angels'Rest, and Beacon Rock. Other hikes include Wakeena Falls-Devil's Rest-Multnomah Falls loop, Hamilton Mt., Rock of Ages Ridge-Horsetail Falls loop, Ruckel Ridge loop, Munra Point, Wauna Viewpoint, Wind Mt. and Nesmith Point. I have also done some smaller waterfall, creek hikes as well. Hopefully this week I can conquer Mt. Defiance. This a great site, Brian. Thanks for all the great information. The Columbia Gorge is a magnificent place. Long Live the Gorge!!! I have also summitted many other peaks in the San Gabriel Mountains just outside of Los Angeles, but we will save that for another place. Happy trails to all! arcjay | |

| SouthRaker | Route Climbed: Most of them so far in '06 | |
| Not many places can you find this many good, challenging hikes and climbs within 30-60 minutes from home... gotta love the Gorge! This page has pretty much become a checklist for me this year. I've done about 2/3 of them so far, and some 2 or 3 times. I just need to do the long ones (tanner, table, defiance), but should finish off the list by August, exept the class 5 ones. | |

| LCannon | Quite a Few Over the Years | |
| I've climbed quite a few over the years starting about 20 years ago, 1985-the present. Angel's Rest (once from Wahkeenah Falls trail), Devils Rest (Once), Multnomah Falls (Over 10 times), Larch Mountain (Once), Triple Falls (4 times), Nesmith Point (Once), Munra Point (Once), Indian Point (Once), Mount Defiance (Twice), Wygant Trail (Once), Tom McCall Point (Once), Beacon Rock (10+ times), Hamilton Mountain (5 times), Table Mountain (Once...the only unsuccessful attempt), Dog Mountain (3 times), Benson Plateau (One overnight camping trip), Nick Eaton Ridge (Once). I don't know if all this qualifies me to post here or not, but I've certainly enjoyed all these climb/hikes and have also hiked on almost all the waterfall and creek trails in the Columbia River Gorge too. I love the photos here Brian! | |

| rpc | Route Climbed: many Date Climbed: many | |
| Dog (too many times including yesterday), Hamilton, Table, Beacon, Rooster, Defiance (incl. one time we did a back to back two ascents of this from the hwy...what the hell were we thinking?), Wind...all of these at least twice but most more (why? 'cause it's close to home). Angel's/Devil's Rests, Ruckel Ridge (nice)...probably others. Great place and a great page! | |

| Kevin Seal | Route Climbed: Most of them Date Climbed: Since 1985ish | |
| Back when I lived in Oregon (the first 18 years of my life), I hiked most of these multiple times. Still hiking them when I go back to visit my folks, in fact. I love the Gorge. How many other major US cities have such a vast resource and variety of hiking trails within 30 minutes? | |

| Brian Jenkins | Route Climbed: Most of them Date Climbed: Spring 2001 - probably tomorrow | |
| The Gorge is such a gem to stay in shape and see great stuff. Only wish it was twice as long so there was more of it. I love the hike up to Devils Rest from either Angels Rest or the Falls. The Multnomah Falls loops are always great especially iced up in winter when no one else is around. Dog Mountain is a usual trainer I do several times a year. Defiance is one of the ultimate trainers. Nesmith a few times, same with Ruckel and Rock of Ages. Wind Mountain is very nice and unique. So is Munra. All the stuff around Beacon, the three peaks that fell into the river are great. Rooster Rock 4/11/04 Angels Rest Spring 2001, 12/16/05, 1/5/08 Devils Rest 1/4/04 including Multnomah Falls, 1/11/04, 10/17/04, 1/7/06, 11/19/06, 4/15/07 including Multnomah Falls, 1/09, 2/22/09 Luna's first hike Elevator Shaft/Cougar Rocks 4/12/08 Larch Mountain 3/27/05, 4/3/05, 12/3/05 Oneonta Gorge/Triple Falls 1/03 Rock of Ages Ridge 12/14/03, Spring 2004 or 2005, 3/23/08 Nesmith Point 4/21/02, 5/2004, 5/2005, 5/6/07 Munra Point 1/30/05, 1/29/06, 1/5/08, 3/22/08 Tanner Butte 1/23/05 Ruckel Ridge 8/21/04, 1/22/06, 2/4/07, 4/22/07 Rudolf Spur 3/29/08 Indian Point 3/23/03 Shellrock Mountain 1/21/08 Mount Defiance 7/14/01, 5/12/02, Winter 2005, 12/10/06 Beacon Rock 9/16/01, one other time in 2002?, 10/26/03 Hamilton Mountain 9/16/01, 4/5/03 Table Mountain 4/27/02, 11/20/04, sometime in 2005 or 2006 Greenleaf Peak 11/6/04 Wind Mountain 2/2/03, 2/1/04, 3/26/06, 1/21/2008 Dog Mountain 4/7/02, 11/20/03, 1/18/04, 2/1/04, 4/11/04, 5/22/04, 12/4/04, 2/13/05, 5/1/05, 1/15/06, 3/26/06, 6/3/06, 12/17/06, 9/9/07, 1/26/08 | |

| Cool! Brian's still putting the page up and I get to sign the summit log first! I love the Gorge - close to home but with places wild and as primitive as can be. So many trails one never tires of the variety. | |
