| torreyr | St. Mary's Peak Route  Date Climbed: Aug 20, 2008 | |
| Spent the night at St. Mary's Lake and climbed the peaks in the morning. Went up the south twin from the east side and then followed the ridge to the second peak. Quite an intense climb. | |

| Hiked in K. Creek, up the fourth ridge and across N and S Heavenly, down the SW side, around the south, then back down the second drainage to K. Creek and back to the car. 11.5 hours. A tough day. 5.5 hours to the N. Heavenly summit, another 30 minutes to the S. summit, then almost 3 hours to get down that canyon! It's got some good brush in it. I found the whole high traverse to have nothing worse than class 3, provided one route finds reasonably well. I was solo in trail runners, and did not bring or desire a rope or technical gear. | |

| Summited the South Twin via St. Mary. 10 hours from car-to-car. Would like to try the North Twin with a rope...the final push of the traverse looked a little sketch. Will be back in a month or two. | |

| Some of the most beautiful country in all of the Bitterroot. One brute of an effort though. Up and down all day with a total of 5800' of elevation gain. The constant changing of gears makes this route hurt. This route can be kept to a Class 3 by staying below the ridge between Saint Mary and the South Twin and then going up the back side (west slopes). | |

| T Sharp | Very Tough Peaks Date Climbed: Mar 28, 2004 | |
| We were thwarted on our traverse attempt by unstable snow on the saddle between S. and N. Heavenly, Luke who was on lead, fell through a cornice up to his armpits, we tried to push on but kept breaking through. We missed a winter summit by one week on this one, though we climbed in full on winter conditions! | |
