Nice Fall weather for our successful summit bid!

I keep going back
I have summited this peak 4 times and for good reason. Easy going hike, easy route finding. Fantastic views. I have been hit with some extreme hail in the middle of the summer here, always pack your layers no matter what time of year!

Got atop this mountain once again for some late spring training with a group of the Rocky Mountaineers. We got snowed on!

Loop with Peterson Lake
I left the trail at about 7,400' and made my way up to the ridge. The ridge was intermittently snowy, with occasional sections of comically bad post holing. Hiked about a half mile farther west on the ridge after the summit and dropped down just west of Peterson Lake from there. Nice loop, though getting down to the trail was a bit of a grind.

Overnight trip
Camped a couple miles from the lake, bushwhacked to shoulder and climbed to summit. A lot of spots required snowshoes. Gotta love the Bitterroot:)

May Blizzard
Climbed into a snow storm with winds that nearly knocked us over. Excellent.

Hot 10 hour day
climbed Sweeney peak and followed the ridge around to the Pyramid Buttes for a 10 hour multi summit day. Must come back to Sweeney Peak for some skiing this winter

Fun and rewarding! The trail was easy to find on the way up, but I lost it on the way down. If that happens to you just follow the ridge until it starts to rise again then head to your right (down) and you will run into it or find the campsite at the stream.

East Ridge
Took a friend on her first summit and my first summit in Montana. Not too windy at the top and fresh huckleberries along the way. Couldn't have asked for a better day out.

great hike
a great hike. went with my brother and friend. planned to do tohe pyramid buttes but ran into blister problems. decided to head up toward sweeny peak. got about 600 vertical feet from the summit and turned around. wind was blowing, it felt like 70 plus mph, pretty wild. back at the truck by 1:30 pm. great day

First winter "climb"
This was my first ever ascent of a peak in winter, and although a white-out on top, what an enjoyable experience!

Way windy
A nice overcast day on the east ridge until we got out of the trees. Between the spindrift and the high winds it turned out to be an adventure after all.
