A nice long day alone in the park. Flinsch was a logical detour after reaching Dawson pass. I especially liked the view down to young man and boy lakes to the northeast.

approach from Dawson Pass
short detour to the summit while hiking from Pitamaken Pass to Dawson Pass. summit was socked in, so views were sparse. fun run up though! super, super easy; no techical climbing whatsoever. ascended/descended to and from Dawson Pass in about 45 minutes.

Beautiful Late September Hike
Planned on doing the Pitamakin-Dawson Loop as a one night backpack staying at Oldman Lake. Got to Dawson pass with time to spare so decided to climb up Flinsch. Nice climb, not really technical at all. Maybe 40 minutes up from Dawson pass and 20 minutes back down. Great views from the top.

This was the middle mountain on a day that started at Two Medicine campground, ascended Rising Wolf, and finished with Mt. Helen before heading back to camp (and food and beers!)

FLINSCH PK
CLIMBED WITH VERN INGRAHAM OF WHITEFISH, MT WHILE HIKING THE LOOP OVER PITIMAKIN, CUTBANK AND DAWSON PASSES ONLY TO FIND THE N TRAIL BY TWO MED LAKE CLOSED FOR GRIZ ACTIVITY AND GET BONUS MILES ON THE SOUTH TRAIL!
What a nice mountain in a (even for GNP) spectacular setting! Not in the least difficult except for the summit block (and that not unduly so), Flinsch Peak now goes on the list as one of the recommended "first" GNP climbs for newcomers to the park.
Very nice day indeed--done with Meleah, who is a great climbing partner! (We also did Mount Helen, which is directly across the pass from Flinsch.)
