| ianc82 | Smoky View, still rewarding. Date Climbed: Sep 16, 2012 | |
| My friend James and I departed Bozeman around 11 am, took the Beaver Creek 222 trail and camped near a pond at treeline Just below the notch which separates the 2 basins around 8:30 PM. Next day we left camp late around 9 am and ultimately climbed via the east ridge. But had but much trouble finding the proper route. Finally found it. The 3 or 4 moves traversing over the gully was indeed a bit scary due to exposure. But, the 5.2 slab traverse was much easier than I had anticipated. Do plenty of hand tapping as there are a few loose rocks. | |

| JLuthanen | Late night hike = no bueno Date Climbed: Jun 29, 2012 | |
| Trying to be a weekend warrior meant attempting the hike in after a regular work day on a Friday night. Trying to triangulate peaks via headlamp after having lost the trail in snow was not a good start. Camped at the lake. Hiked up the bowl over Avalanche Lake and hike 5 lesser 10K peaks the next AM, saw Hilgard, but was too far away from the summit (hiked up the wrong side of the bowl) by the time we realized it. Pinnacles look intimidating and next effort will be done with more safety gear | |

| Fantastic day in the mountains, no one but us out there. Some scary moments up high, but well worth it for the view from the top. | |

| bakcast | Route Climbed: E Ridge - appraoch from Avalanche Lake Date Climbed: August 21, 2005 | |
| What a great mountain! Exciting scrambling with gutwrenching exposure on the traverse just below the summit. This mountain is very remote - from any direction, it is one of the roughest approaches in MT. | |

| Second attempt from a rarely used approach. We took skis both times but didn't need them much this May. A worthy climb and a good day in the mountains despite being chased out by gathering clouds and rain on the hike out. | |
