"Great trip up Bluerock. The crux was mostly dry, but the rope is frayed and sketchy so I didn't use. Nice long ridge walk with many false summits. Took 11.5 hours including breaks" — yuri • Jun 12, 2021

"Snow in the crux gully. The day didn't really warm up and it was pretty hard. Could have used crampons, but an axe and mountaineering boots worked well enough. Nice ridge-walk above the crux. If this mountain was in a guidebook, it would be more popular. Nice to get on top of such a prominent front ranger. Thanks to Ken for the recent beta." — mike_rogers81 • Jun 5, 2020

"Snow where you want it and none where you dont. Some on trail made for annoying travel. Crux required an ice axe, but was soft enough we didnt bother with crampons. Followed ridge to summit" — ken_hercules • Jun 2, 2020

"Elbow-Sheep Traverse, part 1: Threepoint Mountain - Mount Rose - Bluerock Outlier & Mountain with bike approach Stats: 47.5km total: 2 x 11km bike, 25.5km walk 2,182m total gain: 161+37m on bike, 1,984m the traverse itself 14hrs car-to-car / 12hrs bike-to-bike Threepoint - Rose traverse is fairly known, bunch of reports on it. Was interested in continuing it and see if possible to make a bigger loop and exit via Cougar Mountain. Approach / Bike stash: after checking multiple reports on Threepoint-Rose traverse and Cougar Mountain, decided to stash it in between, by a bridge. It would've saved crossing the river, twice. Naive me: the bridge got washed away in 2013 and was never replaced :( Stashed it there anyway. But in retrospective, the best option if 1km before, or about 600m past Big Elbow campground (yellow dot on the map attached). When they built a new trail after the flooding, there is an access to the river now and it'll definitely save walking distance and time. Mt Rose - Bluerock (although it looks like a small hump, Outlier's prominence is about 100m.): from Rose, there are obvious south slopes and small ridge toward Bluerock. When descending, st..." — alexp • Jun 30, 2018

" I climbed Bluerock Mountain, a fairly notable peak in Kananaskis Country. It was a 24 KM Hike with a net elevation gain of somewhere around 1600-1700 Meters. Total trip time was just under 11 hours due to a long bush whacking detour I took on the way off the summit. Bluerock lies 2784 Metets above sea Level. Also I took my bike part of the way." — TBird • Jul 22, 2016

"It was a pretty tough day. moderate scrambling on slabby terrain. We climbed up a slabby chimney with some snow. It got windy up high and there was a bit of snow in the sky. When we reached the summit, the snow picked up and the wind shortly thereafter. The snow was forming ice on our faces and we did not stay longer than 5 minutes on the summit. We had to drop down as going back along the ridge was not feasible with increased snow and not being able to see well. Sidesloping was not ideal, but it proved effective for the circumstances." — BertB • Nov 1, 2015
