| Nice little scramble towards the top. Ended up climbing it from Ruby in just over 2 hours- at the end of a 10 day trip. Awesome views and good pic opportunities. #30 of 31 | |

| gmon03 | Beautiful Late Summer Sun Date Climbed: Sep 10, 2012 | |
| Climbed Northwest slopes from camper's meadow below in North Pigeon Creek drainage. Approach from Needleton was killer; ~20% grade for 2.5 or so miles. Beautiful sun on a late summer day. Spotted several groups of goats. You can avoid the one class 4 move (the chimney) by skirting through the scree to the East. | |

| What better way to celebrate freedom than on the summit of Pigeon! Approached via NY basin for an attempt at Peak 15 and failed. Awesome weather for Pigeon and Turret. | |

| Big weekend. 5 13ers in a remarkable setting. Ruby Creek trail is "as advertised". Nearly impossible to remain on 100% of the time. Pigeon was the highlight of the trip, such an iconic mountain. | |

| From Ruby Basin, steep route in place but has some really enjoyable scrambling near the top and a great little summit to hang out on and enjoy the views. | |

| SarahThompson | Wet and slick Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2009 | |
| Climbed from camp at 11,400 ft in Ruby Basin after a night of heavy rain. The peaks were socked in for most of the morning, and the rock on Pigeon was still wet and slippery complicating the scrambling near the top. There was also some rotten snow lingering that forced us onto slightly more difficult rock. No views to be had, but a fun climb. | |
