| Sort of -- I went too far north on the way up, but found the right route on the way down. 3rd class at most. Trip report. | |

| This rock has so many great routes and bivy sites I could spend weeks here as a base to hit Arrowhead, McHenry's, Chiefshead, and Pagoda. | |

| BLong | Great moderate alpine adventure Date Climbed: Sep 10, 2011 | |
| I enjoyed a climb up the Spearhead with 3 great friends (two parties of two). The North Ridge was a great, moderate route for our group. This valley is one of the most beautiful I have been fortunate enough to spend time in. Echoing Kane's sentiments -- as far as I have ventured -- only Pierre Lake Basin competes in terms of sheer size and beauty. | |

| Fun, relaxing climb. Get started early to avoid the crowds. | |

| Perfect climb. Descent was awkward to find and at times annoying, but it's all there. Bivy sites are good, but still windy. Views are unmatched. | |

| Climbed the north ridge with my buddy Glen. Bivy at cave was pretty homy but a mouse kept us up almost all night. The climbing was fun and consistent. The ridge is beautiful and views are all around. I would do this again in a heartbeat. | |

| Combined The Spearhead with Chiefs Head. Awesome summit, too bad it isn't ranked! | |

| kteichert | Unbelievable Summit Date Climbed: Sep 21, 2010 | |
| I am not a California surfer, nor do I have anything against them, or the way they talk, but I HAVE to steal some of their phraseology to describe this hike. It was wickedly awesome. Easily top 3 hikes in awesomeness that I have ever done. Incredible. | |

| With Jim C. Stellar climbing, amazing summit. Not bad for first rock climb of the year! | |

| Felt like the summit was gonna come out from under us. Exciting summit on an otherwise not so exciting approach. Trying to do the N.Ridge at some point. Saw Krakauer earlier that day, pretty damn cool. | |

| We did this awesome climb a couple years ago and it is truly wonderful! Car to car made for a long day, but it was totally worth it. One of my favorite climbs in more than 30 years of climbing. | |

| The hike up Glacier Gorge had incredible scenery and I enjoyed the approach quite a bit. The climb itself was pretty interesting with good scrambling and an exciting finish. For an extra scare you can look 1,500 straight down the north face from the summit. Great views of the surrounding peaks. Definitely worth the effort. | |

| Kruck | NW Slopes: Variation Date Climbed: Aug 2, 2008 | |
| I expected it to be a little scarier than it was at the top. I didn't feel too exposed on the catwalk or the summit boulders, though I did use four points of contact for the final crawl to the summit. Awesome views of everything from up there, as expected. This peak has called to me since I first saw it. On a ski trip last winter, I decided that it must be climbed. Best peak of the summer for me so far. | |

| 7/19/08 - After climbing nearby Arrowhead & McHenrys the weather was still so magnificent and The Spearhead so cool looking that we decided to add it to the agenda. The standard NW slopes route with its talus and scree gully wasn't fun, but the scrambling near the summit was wild. Can't wait to go back for the north ridge! 8/9/09 - Went back to climb the classic North Ridge route. It was certainly worth the return trip! | |
