"Beauty day in the alpine, pretty straightforward travel for most of the day, only a few moderate scrambling moves to gain the extra summits, can generally travel wherever you want above rockbound lake. Saw a summit grizzly, heard about this kinda nonsense but those bears must have picked up a copy of Kane Scrambles and are out there bagging peaks just like us! Will return to do Castle true summit, Stuart knob and Helena as a seperate trip, too big of a day for us to continue on and do em all. A must do! Loved it. 31km 1780m gain, not sure what peakery will say it was. " — jakefinnan • Sep 6, 2024

"Our objective was all peaks on the Castle massif, but we weren't as fast as we needed to be with a thunderstorm coming later in the afternoon. So we managed the southern most peaks before heading back. Great path to Round Bound Lake. The first 700 meters are gained at an easy 100m per km. The scenery is amazing, and only gets better as you climb past the lake to the upper plateaus. Route-finding was straight forward. There was still a fair bit of unavoidable snow (part of what slowed us down). So wet feet and post-holing became the highlight of the NE slopes. Great views from the South summit! We saw a party looking accomplished that just topped out Eisenhower Tower. On the way back, we scrambled up the less predominant, yet distinct smaller peaks on the south end. In order travelling from the South Peak: S2, S3, S4. For S2, we wrapped around to the South side and climbed a short and crumbly depression on the face. S3, we each took different options between scrambling small benches and a scree ramp. S4, we wrapped around the South end to the West side, and found a chimney to scramble up. There was another registry here, but full of water. After that, we meandered..." — ivo • Jul 17, 2022
