| saintgrizzly | True summit, with ropes... Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2009 | |
| As climbing partner Fred Spicker said upon reaching the summit: "Your first technical GNP peak, and you don't get credit for it!" So true. Heavy Runner's not considered one of the Park's technical peaks, but it should be. Yes, it can be done without ropes (although it's class 5.3 or 5.4—both ways, mind you—and I can easily imagine there have been many stressed-out down-climbs following unroped ascents), but then you never need ropes on any climb anyway...until you fall. Then what happens? End of editorializing. Thanks so much for taking me up, Fred! A really nice day, and a peak I'd never have made on my own. And that rappel was a joy! | |

| KristinaAL | Intense day Date Climbed: Jul 30, 2009 | |
| Climbed with father and sister taking route around south of Reynolds. Ended up being a 14 hour day. Climbed up true summit with a rope tied around my waist and used webbing left by other climbers for a top-roped climb down. I enjoyed the perspective on the surrounding peaks. | |
