Great hike

A bit easier than Pollock, but why not climb both while you're there? Amazing view from the summit down to the glacier on the east face.

Piegan

Climbed with Holly and Red from Siyeh, descended through lunch creek into the worst lightning and hail in my life. Scary weather.

new way down?  Sucess!

summitted amidst fresh snow and thick fog with a group of hardy companions. initial plan was to traverse to Pollock and Bishops Cap before heading down Piegan Pass, but weather changed our plans. found out our compass was broke while lost in the fog in trying to descend back to Lunch Creek. eventually ended up descending the south side of the mountain, wrapping E/SE around Piegan Glacier. we climbed down a variety of class III and IV gullies until several hundred feet above the Going-to-the-Sun Road; found a game trail in a large, grassy area and took it south until the trail disappeared. scrambled down talus and bushwhacked for about 10 minutes before spitting out just west of Siyeh Bend.

Piegan Mountain  Sucess!

Approached the saddle from Lunch Creek and then climbed up to the summit. Terrible wind just like last year. I only spent a few minutes at the summit and was ready to leave. Climbed with Rebelgrizz and JFK.

2-3 ascents  Sucess!

A short approach from a high trailhead makes this an attractive climb.

lunch creek  Sucess!

did this in the afternoon as an introduction to Glacier NP. Upper Lunch Creek is very pretty and I nearly ran into a group of Bighorns. Plenty of loose rock to negotiate on the way up to the ridge. Good views from the top

Lunch Creek  Sucess!

A beautiful wind free mid 70's late summer day. Crowds non-existent. A rare look at all the peaks without snow and the brown tundra surrounding Logan Pass. This made the list as one of my favorite climbs.

Also, made a trip up on 8/1/2004 after a long day on Bearhat the day before.
