| Climbed with GMS. Rockwell's a wonderful mountain, with distinctive summit views. A very nice climb, but definitely DO NOT take the possibility suggested by Gordon Edwards in "Climber's Guide," of descending to Upper Two Medicine Lake, then following a game trail the length of the lake until joining the NPS trail out. That may have been a good "shortcut" when written 20 or 30 years ago, but it's not now—it added five quite unpleasant hours to our descent, and the boat met us at Two Medicine Lake (11 PM!), or it would have been six unpleasant hours! Return the way you came! But all that aside...A TERRIFIC MOUNTAIN! (One I'd definitely do again.) |
