| Have done this one too many times to count. One of the best, easiest access, exercise hills in the valley. When I have no real climb planed, its nice to take a run to the top to keep the legs from going soft. Best ascent of it was this spring in the snow with FlatheadJim and other GMS members where I got some practice in using my ice ax. We glisaded down the gully. It was a rush. | |

| FlatheadJim | GMS Annual spring tune up Date Climbed: May 10, 2008 | |
| The local club, GMS, usually does this every spring for a tune up. Nice trip, good elevation gain and a ass kicking good glissade of about 1,000 feet down the gulley just south of the route. Yee ha ! In the summer, it can be quite hot & dry as it faces SW; I stay away from it later in the day in the late summer. | |

| First outing of the year with the GMS, and LOTS of snow on this May excursion! An excellent conditioning peak—nice day all around. | |

| A very nice solo hike to the top on an incredibly hot day--hiked alone to the top on 7/1/03 and spent the night--I read by the campfire and fell asleep listening to the train rolling through Columbia Falls. It was a bit hazy on the way up due to drifting smoke from the Oregon fires (this was still about 2 weeks before the Robert Fire started) but waking up at sunrise I found it to be crystal clear. A great, memorable hike! | |

| Hiked with Rebelgrizz, Tater, and JFK. It was a challenging hike, and a hazy day, but it was fun and an excellent experience. | |
