"First off, the summit push is very tough. This hike is awesome. This hike is also hot as hell this time of year. Incredible views of the Rockies and overlooking Boulder and the CU campus. The hike is shaded about 50% of the hike. Alot of people going up after work. Sidenote : The summit is no place for a dog. The rest of the hike is pretty ok for dogs." — puddlepirate • Jul 20, 2020

"Ran the Virtual Bolder Boulder...decided that since I could choose my own finish line I wanted one with a view. Hit up the Flagstaff Summit and May's Point for some mid-run views, and finished at Crown Rock for a victory scramble." — wazoheat • May 25, 2020

"Went for a birthday hike with Christina. Was still quite snowy on the north side of Green, requiring crampons at times. Plan was to summit a bunch of summits, but only got to 3 due to raptor closures keeping me from East Green and snow kept us from returning via Saddle Rock trail. Still was a nice birthday :)" — wazoheat • Apr 23, 2020

"Had to get creative due to quarantine to get my 43rd ski month in a row. Christina and I drove up Flagstaff Road to the Ute Trail and snow-whacked to the summit from there; 2+ feet of fresh snow made this a non-trivial task. Descended on skis back down towards the summit road; had to take off my skis at the road due to sketchy boulders but for the most part it was a continuous ski descent despite the south-facing route we were forced to take due to running out of sunlight. Only made for a 250-foot ski descent, but I'll take what I can get in this world." — wazoheat • Apr 16, 2020
