Climbed solo. Was a perfect sunny day. Went on to Cataract after this one. My profile photo was taken from this summit with Siyeh in the background.

new way down?
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
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.
A short approach from a high trailhead makes this an attractive climb.

lunch creek
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
Fun climb, Some snow up lunch creek drainage and in access chute but could be avoided or easily crossed. summited after climbing Pollock. High winds at saddle.

Climbed the NW Ridge with Bob Stephan from the Pollock / Piegan saddle as the last part of a traverse of Bishops Cap, Pollock & Piegan.

Lunch Creek
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.

Traverse- part 1This was the first mountain of the day of a traverse that included Pollock and Bishops Cap.

Great hikeA 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.
