| racek2 | Great views on a clear day  Date Climbed: Aug 21, 2011 | |
| The multiple peaks along the ridge line provide an interesting series of views across the valley to Cascade mtn and the spur trail to the lookout point provided a panorama that was well worth the diversion! Didn't encounter a single other hiker, a good challenging day hike to save for when many of the other popular trails are busy. | ||

| ScAtTeRbOnE | Great Ridge Walk! Date Climbed: Jul 5, 2011 | |
| Brutally hot and humid, nice breezes on the ridge though, many places to steal away and have great views in solitude along this ridge. Went East to West, hitchhiked back to car, swam in cascade Lake and then kayaked in Lake Placid afterward. | |

| sherpapeaks | West to East Route in Early Fall Date Climbed: Sep 29, 2007 | |
| We Climbed the West to east route from 73, nice hike but the cloud ceiling was at about 2500' so the views were about 20' infront and that was it. If you find that going up scrambling sections is easier than going down them, as I do, you may want to climb from the east (lower lot) to west being thta the western side is easier to desend. If you like to hike with dogs, you may want to think twice about this one. Other than that it is a great hike and alot of fun, I will do it again! | |

| Bill Jirousek | Route Climbed: West TH on Rt 73 Date Climbed: September 2, 2005 | |
| Fun climb with nice lookouts along the way. The rocky subsummit before the true summit was very cool. Great views of Cascade mountain & Lake as well as several other peaks. Windiest conditions I have ever experienced on any Adirondack peak - probably the last of Katrina blowing itself out. My dog was freaked out! | |
