"Attempted traverse from gap peak to Townsend. Made mythic peak and bailed from the ledge on mythic tower due to severe thunderstorm that was getting too close. Route is in great shape." — ken_hercules • Jun 21, 2018

"Having done it before the 2013 flood, there are a number of changes. We did not see the bridge along the trail at Exshaw. The pipeline is now buried, and there is a narrow climb to get past the structure. The trail that was along the creek is mostly destroyed. Pretty much business as usual up high though." — BertB • May 23, 2015
"12 hours Gap to Fable and out over the flooded river. We couldn't identify the 5.4 route on Fable so just scrambled it. In hindsight, probably would have aimed for a slab much higher on west side. Saw a party high up on what appeared to be the slab I climbed and bailed on in 2009.

"Parked the car at Exshaw and started on the hike up the river. About 0.5 km in i remembered i was missing my hiking poles. I figured they would probably be useful on a 25 km hike so i went back for them. Since i was doing this scramble as a solo i figured i would do Fable first so that if i ran into a bear or a cougar in the valley, then my exit wouldn't really be trapped. If i ran into one in the morning then i could just turn around back to my car and change the objective. Through 5 km of creek crossings/hiking i did a lot of loud singing and shouting. Was around 6:30 am so i figured some wildlife might still be roaming around and i think they are on lower ground these days. From the summit of Fable. Didn't find a register there but did find a very heavy cross. Got to the summit in 3 hours 45 minutes and was 10:30 am still when i left for Gap. lots of time to go. " — dkmountainman • Jul 4, 2011
