Such an amazing mountain, I've summited 2 times, once the normal route up, a gnarly hike in itself.....the first time we just looked up and got to the top, a lot of low 5.2 5.3 climbing with insane exposure, I'll never forget that hike, saw two bears on the way out also.

Last summer some friends and I were on the Snowmass summit with a good deal of food, water and clothing. A guy runs - runs - up to the summit in shorts, a tank top and carrying nothing. We asked him where he came from. “I started with Capital, we’ll see how many I bag today.” Runs off

My husband and I hiked to Capitol lake. We had no intention of summiting the mountain. We were sitting at the lake resting and were getting ready for the hike back to our car . It was very drizzly and rained on and off throughout the day. At times the peak was cloud covered. We thought the people who were attempting to summit the mountain were crazy to attempt it in that weather. As I was watching the climbers, one tried to walk across the knife edge upright, not cat walk it as other climbers did. I watched the climber slip. He managed to catch himself and pull himself back on the ridge. He was hanging off the side with a 1300 foot drop if he let go. I just gasped watching it and was relieved he survived. I looked at my husband and said let's go. I don't want to watch someone kill themselves. That climber was the luckiest man on earth. He and his friend caught up to us on the way back. They both said they submitted it. We congratulated them. Then I told him he was lucky he didn't kill himself. I have submitted fourteeners, but not one as dangerous as that mountain. I always tell people, don't mistake luck for skill. That kid was lucky. Very lucky

Done it twice, and once in a single day (4AM hike in and 9PM hike out). It was the 80s though, so we didn't have helmets. It is definitely better to hike in, camp, summit and hike out.

Did it with a friend in '78 when we had the entire mountain to ourselves. Underestimated how rough the road in was, didn't get started until 11:30 AM. Got to the summit, narrowly avoiding a rockslide, with the sun low on the horizon. We were on a sketchy, grassy traverse above timberline, skirting underneath K2 right at dusk when it started to snow, hard - in August. My friend said he couldn't go on, and I got rather cross with him. We got back way after dark, hiking back to the car by flashlight.
