| kavak | From Hallett Peak Date Climbed: Jul 14, 2002 | |
| This was my third summit of the day (Hallett and Flattop). These three summits are frequently hiked together. Descended Andrews Glacier. It was just one of those days were you felt strong all day. I sometimes wonder how I can replicate what I ate and the circumstances the day before to have that feeling all the time. | |

| Traversed over from Hallett with Aaron. Then we descended the "glacier" next to it. There's even a NPS sign there that cautions one about crevasses...! | |

| RMdaytripsgrl | Route: Chaos Canyon/Chaotic Glacier, descent Andrews Date Climbed: Jul 11, 2008 | |
| Chaos canyon isn't as bad as it sounds (but I wouldn't use it as a descent route). Some rock-hopping just above lake Haiyaha. Minimal snow available to still make it really fun, but a great loop. Highly recommended - 8 hrs RT at a leisurely pace. Ice axe and crampons needed for Chaos glacier, approx. 40%. Wanted to tag Halletts too, but had to be back down by 3, so just Otis today. Super fun glissade down Andrews to the lake! Breathtaking views on the CD! | |

| hiked after flattop and hallett. jamie and i were having a nice day until the descent off otis. got cliffed out everywhere before finding safe passage to the basin. from there, a boulder-hopping/climbing through nightmare ensued and we hiked out a couple hours after dark. went back the next day to retrieve her lost gloves(found them!). jamie | |

| My 11 year old son summited via Andrews Glacier - the last part was rough for him but after he signed the register he was on cloud nine, boot skiing down Andrews. | |

| Yeti | Doh. | |
| Attempted via Andrews glacier, turned around below the glacier after getting lost and burning too much time. Doh! | |

| Total ascents = 3. The 3rd climb was via the East Ridge from Lake Haiyaha ... nice variation from the standard route. | |

| NanitaD | Via: Flattop Trail Date Climbed: Sep 12, 1994 | |
| Otis, Hallet, Ptarmigan Point, and Flattop are some of the easiest high peaks in Rocky Mountain National Park to reach via the Flattop trail. The most dangerous part this day was when I was going back down the trail, tripped, and broke my arm. | |
