| Florida Frank | Muddy Day  Date Climbed: May 30, 2013 | |
| Ascended via the Calkins Brook Route. First Donaldson, then Emmons, then back track to Seward. Descended via the North Slope to Ward Brook. Lots of water, mud, and patches of snow on the ridgeline. Challenging but fun day! With my high peaks hiking buddy RD Jim. #38/46. | |

| CRiedel2 | Wet, Muddy, Cold Date Climbed: Oct 17, 2011 | |
| Hiked up from the Corey's parking area after a week of rain. The whole trail was a muddy, wet slog. The upper part of the trail was the same, which slowed me down a good bit. Patches of snow the higher I got, and with the wind at the summit my hands were getting numb pretty quickly. Didn't spend much time at the top and wasn't going to have time for the other 2 summits, so I'll be going back next year...when it's dryer! Hahaha. I liked that it wasn't just a hike though, with the scrambling up the rocks. 14 miles and 10 hours round trip. | |

| Great mountain. A long, steep climb, but lots of fun using your hands to scramble. Great weather too. | |

| A muddy, slippery, mess of a climb up in perfect fall weather. Totally worth it. | |

| Climbed with Donaldson and Emmons via the Duck Hole Trail from Route 3. Good weather for most of the day. Herd path was easy to follow and provided a real sense of isolation and remoteness. Not much of a view though. | |

| starship_jen | Herd path Date Climbed: Nov 10, 2007 | |
| Snow! And lots of it! Paul and I hiked this peak and it was slow going. Tough and slick in spots. Planned on hiking Donaldson and Emmons, but didn't have enough daylight. Next time! 15/46. | |

| CookieMonster | Up and Down From Ward Brook Date Climbed: Jul 3, 1991 | |
| This was a very isolated area back in the early 90s, where you'd only find those serious about completing the 46. Hiked into the area from Ward Brook. Climbed Seward, Donadson, and Emmons - returning the same way. Left my mother on the summit of Seward for an afternoon while we continued onward! | |

| Enapai | Route Climbed: Calkins Brook HP to ridgeline Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2007 | |
| Sun, Sun, Sun, and Mud, Mud, Mud. I heard from other hikers that the HP up from Ward's Brook was like climbing in falling water. Calkins Brook HP was in good shape. Can't say the same about the HP along the ridge. | |

| climber46 | Route Climbed: herd path from the north Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2001 | |
| Hiked from the Coreys Rd trailhead to Seward, Donaldson, and Emmons as a day hike. The herd path on the upper half and ridge was awful. I never want to come here again. This hike tied with my hike of Redfield and Cliff as the worst herd paths I have ever seen. | |
