| jpbourque | Giant and Rocky Peak Ridge Date Climbed: Nov 5, 2011 | |
| Laurence and I left Montreal at 8 o'clock, after deciding to go buy some micro spikes at the Mountaineer in Keene. (It was worth it, especially for RPR). We made it to the summit of Giant by the Zander Scott trail. We had the fortunate surprise of meeting our friend Genevieve lounging on the summit with 2 friends. They wanted to do Hopkins Mt, but we were set on doing RPR. We parted ways after un small lunch. The descend to the col between Giant and RPR was icy, microspikes helped a lot. We were back at the car around 6 PM. Sunny skies all day. | ||

| Hitched a ride from Chapel Pond TH to New Russia TH and took the East Trail up over Bald Mtn past Lake Luise to RPR with great views along the way, almost made us forget the 5000+ ft climb! Visited Giant and descended to Chapel Pond as the sun set behind the Mtns, a great day. | |

| CRiedel2 | Perfect Day Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2010 | |
| Hiked over to RPR after having lunch atop Giant. The hike between the two seemed a little shorter that what it seems when looking from one to the other. Great day and RPR was quiet and peaceful. I plan on trying the east route from Rt 9 sometime soon, the ridge looked pretty neat. | |

| TLP | spring hike Date Climbed: May 16, 2010 | |
| Went back to RPR after running out of time on a previous hike on the east ridge. This time I went up Giant, and the made the cross over. It was a great spring day for hiking. Would like to one day go back and go the whole way on the east ridge. | |

| This was a very good day in the Adirondacks.It should have qualified as a winter ascent.There was several feet of snow and much cascading ice to navigate over.The veiw was breathtaking on this 20degree ,crystal clear spring morning.I give it my thumbs up | |

| Bkoziol3 | RPR at a Hate Pace Date Climbed: Sep 19, 2009 | |
| cruised up to RPR on a beautiful Adirondack morning via Giant Route... some of the best views i've had in the dacks.. arrived at 8 am to cloud coverd peaks with deep blue skies. great climb but a crowd heading towards Giant. spent 30 mins alone on RPR taking in the solitude, before fighting my way back down the Zander Trail. a cold night left ice all over the place at higher elevations. definitely check out the 60 yard side trail descending Giant to RPR to have a close up of the massive slides on the East side of Giant. Its unmarked on the left, marked by a large fallen birch tree. Great Day!!! | |

| Ajellodude | Climbed with Giant Date Climbed: Feb 1, 2009 | |
| Reached this summit first from Ridge Trail. Very windy and cloudy, which sucks because I've heard the view is amazing. Welcomed by a huge cairn at the top. Then went over to Giant and down Roaring Brook | |

| An Adirondack Classic in my book. Hiked from the East with the fall foliage at peak. Everything about this hike is great. The elevation gain is challenging and Bald peak is very very cool. The summit of RPR has some of the best views in the Dack's in my opinion. | |

| Tahawus | Rocky Peak Ridge Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2005 | |
| Climbed with Giant via Giant Mountain Trail from Route 73. Although most hikers only go up to Giant, Rocky Peak Ridge is a much better mountain in my book. The views were fantastic; we could see all of the Eastern Adirondacks and even the Green Mountains across Lake Champlain. Nice to cool off in Chapel Pond after a hot day! | |
