"Long awaited climb up to Ranger Peak deep in the Bitterroot Mountains on the stateline. Trip in to Big Creek Lakes provided wonderful passages into old growth cedar, fir, and ponderosa pine groves. Long trek to basecamp on the lake. Steep climb to gain the east ridge that leads to Ranger Point and then on to Ranger Peak. No major technicality, just route finding and alot of nice, white granite and fall colors!" — MarmotHead • Sep 28, 2025

"Fun hike up to Chick-N-Out Ridge. Route finding and scrambling to the snow bridge, which was iced over. Had to use micro spikes to cross it and a lot of people were turned around due to fear for the slickness. From the ice bridge, straight up to the peak with a good amount of route, finding along the way." — vegasgoat • Jul 5, 2025

"I could have easily driven further. Right where the two dirt roads fork further in is the spot to park. There is a non-authorized dirt bike trail that is a huge help near the ridge you ascend. Just walk further to find it." — Irrationalist • Jun 29, 2025

"There is a private property easement that grants access. However it creates a long and bushwhacky day on the ridge with lots of ups and downs. Actual summit is a bit away from the named point" — Irrationalist • Jun 14, 2025

"Made it to the base of steinfell's dome with Lisa, light rain didn't deter me so I roped up and started to climb the first pitch but rain turned into hail really quick. I backed off a bit and hid under a rock to see if it would let up, but the whole climb turned into a waterfall and I deemed it too dangerous. We hiked back and drove to Castle Rocks nearby and was able to snag some good climbs around Primetime and Castle Keep (Lisa's first 5.8 lead)" — MikeERodriguez • Jun 11, 2025
