"Tried tackling this hill from the west side this time. Started off pretty flat but made up the altitude gain during the last third of the climb. One thing to note, there seems to be a developing social trail on this side and it looks like someone is attempting to maintain it. The trail is non-existent at the start and tends to fade in and out over the course, I didn't notice the trail until I started coming down. It would have made the climb up a bit easier." — brode-meisterbaker • May 7, 2025
"This wasn't a very enjoyable summit for me. The hardest part was probably finding a parking spot and starting place. I made sure to look up past routes and do my research before doing the climb. But every starting point was either ambiguous or requires parking at a residential area. Personally, I'm not a fan of parking in a residential area so I did some more scouring and found a trip report of parking on the CVS by the base of the mountain (55th ave and Happy Valley Rd) . Sure I guess. The trip report mentioned walking through the neighborhood until reaching the base of the summit, but that didn't really work out for me. I was unable to find any access to the mountain from that particular residential area (the North side of the mountain does have access and it seems that most people climb through there). I went back to the intersection and started walking towards the base of the mountain through the Happy Valley Rd sidewalk. Very quickly I found a dirt road that seems to be used fairly often by both vehicles and bikers. This led me to finally look for a potential route to start my climb.
At this point I felt I had wasted a lot of time trying to figure out where to start and wher..." — easotelo1 • Nov 20, 2020
"After a great climb on Pyramid I knew Ludden wouldn't be as good. I ended up finding some class 3 that was forced but came across a bee hive under a rock 50 feet from the top. I got completely destroyed, getting stung 5 or 6 times on the neck and face. Not the ideal finish for the summit. " — MatthewWinterberg • Feb 28, 2019
