| deekaydrolly | Check - done that!  Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2012 | |
| From Trail 1587 (off Hwy 2) - should've had better boot grip & poles - was foggy on top with slick/melting snow - summitting required walking up, down & across & scrambling back down snow fields with possible avalanche conditions - twas worth it to place the taunting peak on my "check off" list and say, "been there, done that"! Dang that felt good! | |

| With the MVP. A great fall hike up from highway 2. Traction devices and or an ace ax would have been nice for the firm snow we encountered just below the ridge but we managed with poles and step kicking. | |

| breauxtrahn | nice backside trail Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2007 | |
| The trail was a nice hike and the views are great too. Need to come back during the snowy months and take the switchback trail straight up from the 2. | |

| jkuresman | Via 2 Trails Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2007 | |
| Finally made it up via Snowy Creek in the summer. Three previous summits were on snow from Highway 2. Lower section melts early and upper half is a fun snow scramble. | |

| What a place for a winter camp at the lake below the summit. Perfect weather too! See pics and map at http://www.willhiteweb.com/washington_climbing/rock_mountain/hiking_053.htm | |

| gimpilator | Rock, Howard, and Mastiff Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2009 | |
| Bryan and I started at the Snowy Creek trail head at 8am. We found that a huge pile of avalanche debris had annihilated parts of the trail between 4600 and 5000 feet. We started with the summit of Rock Mountain and then worked our way over to Howard and Mastiff. We took twenty minute breaks on each summit and spent the rest of the day moving. We got back to the car at 8:30pm | |

| Cascade Scrambler | Via #1587 Date Climbed: Jun 20, 2009 | |
| Ceiling was around 4,800 feet, and had 50-100 feet of visibility the rest of the way to the top. Had no views, obviously, but it was still a great way to kill a few hours. Three easy hours up (navigation was tricky in places), less than 90 minutes down. Good times. | |
