"Climbed the 5.8 shoulder route made summit in 12 hours and then had a surprising long descent down the creek. 2 rappels need due to high water levels, following the creek out is not as simple as it seems. Made it to the car muchlater than expected." — ken_hercules • Jun 13, 2023
"Parker, Muriel, Erich, Rob Maybury, Shelly, and I laid down a 1500m ascent over 19 hours up the length of Mt Abraham via 10 pitch 5.8 classic exposed trad line. It was "a climb and a half" and the 6 hour descent that finished at 3:37am was "more awesome"!

"Alda and I crossed numerous gullies to get to the final gully leading to the final ridge. The last gully was hidious. I bet it would be much nicer with some supportive snow. Final ridge was fun. But it is a very long approach. Best to mark getting in and out of the gullies to make a return route more efficient." — martawojnarowska • Sep 10, 2020
"Abraham Mountain is a b*tch. This is one of my least favorable scrambles to date. Endless painful side-hiling along the loose rubble slope and multiple slabby drainage, followed by a slog up the Endless Scree Gully of Pain, which lived up to its name, followed by another long side-hilling along a steep ledge with loose rubble, finished with a scree bash to the summit. There is no value to this scramble beside the great summit views. However, the summit views are very similar to those from adjacent Windy Point Ridge, which offers fantastic scrambling on good rock.
This scramble can be more enjoyable when the Endless Scree Gully of Pain is covered with snow (read May or early June), and possibly if sticking to the creekbed as far as possible instead of the painful side-hilling above it. (It is worth of noting that the ledges below the summit block can be dangerous if covered with snow.)
Once on the summit, I noticed an interesting potential route on the north side of the mountain, which seems to offer a delightful ridgewalking. I'm tempted to attempt it sometime in the future.
It's hard to rate this route. Technically, there is no real hand-on scrambling. It's just an end..." — Taras • Jul 7, 2018
