"A new experience for the Prairie Dweller and I -- combine a mountain bike route with a climbing route! We saddled up the bikes at the Rattlesnake Recreation Trail 515 TH and worked our way up a moderate grade 15 miles to the Wilderness boundary -- stashed the bikes there and then continued to hike in a couple miles to set up basecamp. From our camp near trail 515, we climbed up to a bowl just to the south of McLeod Peak and then worked up to the main W/SW ridge and on up to the top. Weather was mostly dominated by nimbostratus clouds enveloping the ridge and peak area, with light rain showers and low visibility." — MarmotHead • Sep 3, 2023

"9/2/23: Paul and I camped at Half Moon CG for 5 nights. On Friday we hiked up above Twin Lakes and reconnoitered the possible approaches up Crazy Peak having very limited beta. The North Ridge looked extremely aesthetic and pretty doable with one lower dihedral being questionable but apparently avoidable if necessary. Ultimately I left the decision to Paul who was already contemplating sitting this one out. He decided that he was game for the West Ridge and so it was. We headed up the lower ridge above Blue Lake and its upper basin and skirted the glacier below the West Ridge saddle. A couple and their dog, Momo, followed along with us up to the saddle. This was generally a great approach route except for the final 300’ from the glacier up to the saddle spur ridge (very steep, loose glacier till with large, fast falling scree). Lots of rockfall! After a well-earned lunch break, Paul and I continued towards the false summit along the West Ridge. This is one of the most spectacular ridge hikes in the Rockies. The Crazies are some of the most interesting and aesthetic peaks and ridges and the eye candy was a great complement to the easy Class 3 scrambling along the way. I made the f..." — LoneWolf • Sep 2, 2023

"Very interesting and pretty involved scramble through the summit block. Felt more like Class 4 rather than advertised Class 3. Some routefinding required, although a good trail and cairns where there is no trail make it significantly easier." — Taras • Jul 25, 2023

"Very scenic traverse. Crowfeet Mnt is Class 3 from Ptarmigan Lake to go around numerous cliff bands, the last 10m to the summit is an exposed Class 4 climb. Traverse to Mt. Henkel is easy, no difficulties. The route I took on the descent was not optimal. It involved lots of zigzagging through cliff bands. There must be an easier way." — Taras • Jul 24, 2023
