| Redwic | First Dock, And Then Sauk Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2012 | |
| After an early morning trip to Dock Butte, my daughter and I went to Sauk Mountain. I wore her toddler backpack the entire way to the summit ridge, before I did the final scramble to the true summit. I quickly returned back to the main trail, and then my daughter and I had a great lunch together in a small depression next to some snowbanks. Several marmots were running around and shrieking. Great weather, great route, great views... but bad blisters (due to worn-out socks). | |

| Cascade Scrambler | Don't believe the hype Date Climbed: Aug 18, 2012 | |
| From the false summit, just stay on top of the ridge the entire way. There's one slightly airy move that feels worse going over to the true summit than coming back. There's no need to drop down off the ridge crest, it's more work than necessary. Nice views, fun short scramble. Bagged Dock Butte afterwards. | |

| setrent | A great trip | |
| Have climbed multiple times, both in winter and spring. This was one of Dallas Kloke's favorite winter climbs; easy access and as challenging as you want. | ||

| Fun to traverse the false summits. Don't kick rocks on your car from the top! | |

| verdeleone | Beautiful | |
| Sauk, beautiful wildflowers - if you go for that sort of thing. Ah, to be back in the Cascades. | |

| beaudaddy85 | Nice!!! Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2010 | |
| I really enjoyed this one for its easy effort, short scramble at the end vs. big open, alpine views. Its a beautiful area and if someone had some extra time on their hand it looked like it would be interesting to explore Sauk Lake and Bald Mountain. | |

| This is a great quick hike. I was able to tuck this in even in mid-November with just a dusting of snow on a clear and cool autumn day. It is harder to find a higher views to effort ratio in the Cascades than what this one offers. | |

| ericwillhite | Possible the first mountain I climbed Date Climbed: Aug 1, 1986 | |
| When I was 12 with a church group. I can't remember much but I'm willing to guess I didn't go to the very top...although I do remember our church group leaders yelling at us at the summit to be careful and get down? I do remember puking my McMuffin out at the trailhead. | |

| EastKing | Surprise Scramble at the end Date Climbed: Sep 28, 2008 | |
| The true summit! This goes from a relaxing dayhike to a short but intense Class 3 scramble at the very end. | |

| Stu Brandel | Up with Kids Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2003 | |
| To top with my wife and three kids (13,13 and 6 years old). Not to true summit, however. Incredible wildflowers in August. | |
