Route Climbed: Southeast Ridge Date Climbed: June 7, 1986
This is a great beginner's hike into the mountains. For experienced hikers, they may want to continue on to Unnamed Point 13,118' and Grizzly Peak on the same high tundra stroll.
Route Climbed: Southwest Ridge Date Climbed: July 2002
More fun this time than in a November blizzard. Saw a goat with a radio collar. Also the first time I saw an airplane flying below me while I was standing on the ground.
Route Climbed: Southwest Ridge Date Climbed: 14 April, 2004
Great hike. Alot more snow than I expected with high winds. Awsome views of surrounding area. Expected to see some goats but instead saw two bighorn rams bedded down on the very summit of the mountain.

Had the mountain all to myself - of course there was a snow storm and wind and no one else was crazy enough to be out there. I met one person down at the bottom as I was heading back to the car. It was a great hike despite the conditions. It is a great get in shape or stay in shape hike when you want to do something short and get up high.
Route Climbed: Southwest Ridge Date Climbed: February 2004
Acclimating climb on first day from sea level, got to the base of the summit ridge at 13K. Did not feel like dealing with the cornice. Awesome views. Met several backcountry skiers on the route. I have a lot of respect for these guys - this is real skiing.
Route Climbed: Via Loveland Pass Date Climbed: January 18th, 2004
Simply the best beginner winter climb in the Front Range. Relatively low avalanche danger as long as you stay away from the well developed cornices. Took a few friends and my girlfriend and all enjoyed the beauty and scenery
Route Climbed: Via Loveland Pass Date Climbed: November 2002
A nice easy hike for the snow season. The views of the nearby mountains are well worth the trip. This summit gives a great vantage of Hagar Mountain, the Citadel, Pettingell Peak, Mount Parnassus, Bard Peak, not to mention Grays and Torreys. Along with me were dogs Sopris and Ray.

I had planned to summit Sniktau with Grizzly a few weeks before, but I kinda wussed out. It was a gorgeous day for hiking, sunny and clear, not as windy.
