"Nugara route, S ridge, solo trip. Interesting scramble. Near the summit block I traversed right and found access gully. Crux is last few moves on top of that gully. Came down the same way. " — Pawel G • Jul 1, 2022

"Dungarvan was one of my favourite scrambles of the summer. The approach through the colourful Lost Creek canyon was a lot of fun with a lot of rock hopping. Once up on the ridge, there was a lot of hands-on scrambling to be had. On descent, we followed the scree down to the valley, rather than returning via the ridge." — geoffhardy • Sep 12, 2021

"The intent was to make it over to cloudy ridge to finish the day but time was not on our side after a late start and some lost time at the initial ascent gulley to Dundy. Moderate to difficult scrambling based on route-finding, our ascent to dundy involved a few class 5 moves. Dungvaran was a beauty!" — carreradawn • Jul 11, 2020

"Had a late start and chose the wrong gully at first to ascend dundy peak. Had to make the decision to cut out cloudy ridge. A couple class 5 bands to break through in the ascent gully to dundy otherwise lots of scrambling to be had on this trip! The gully to Dungarvon summit has a couple route options however the easiest seems to have a chockstone jammed in it now, the other is highly exposed and difficult. We used the alternate route nugara describes and is leads to an awesome ridge scramble to the summit." — ken_hercules • Jul 11, 2020

"The plan was to do a Castle Wildlands PP Front Range Traverse starting in the south that included a bit of Waterton National Park. If we went from Lakeview Mountain all the way to Victoria Peak as one long ridge walk it would be 48km. The crux was likely the section up the southeast of Mt Dungarvan thru Cloud Ridge and Mt Glendowan and I couldn't find any reference on the web to anyone that had traversed the full distance between those peaks nor who had ascended Dungarvan SE. After dropping bikes at the exit ridge of Victoria Peak and one further south near Loaf Mountain ridge, we drove the van up an unmaintained range road north of Lakeview Mountain and headed out on the prairie at a healthy 11am towards the start. We ascended the east valley towards The Horn deciding not to ascend Mt Dungarvan east face (good choice) which looked like continuous loose, steep terrain and looked back at the Horseshoe Basin trail switchbacks which became very evident from above with all the burnt out forest and emerging green grasses and flowers. On the summit by 2:30pm, we then looked at our first difficult objective. Descending 200m to the col, we crossed snow and headed up the SE ridge and ..." — alexjoseph • Jun 29, 2019
