R.E.Johnson 1968 Journal 95 Aug.24 Anaconda - Pintlas Wilderneur, Montana (conti) became abundant (Columbian Ground Squirrels are common at the pass). Down the steep & clifty north face of the ridge & occasionally heard Heavy Marmots. One was seen only a short ways down the face, but others were apparently far below in the talus & boulder bottom of a large cirque. A group of 11 Rosy Finches flew west along the face of those cliffs at 8500 - 9000 ft elevation. Again these could be the same birds as before. Some at least were juvenile, probably all were. Near the top of East Pintlar Pk one Juvenile Rosy Finch feed on the more gradual south slope. A large gray (underside) Accipiter dove just south of the pk top but pulled out of the dive 10 Ft. from the ground surface. After all the bad weather, today seems fantastic. The view from the top of East Pintlar Pk (clockwise from north) includes Warren Pk (10,456 ft.), high backbone ridges of the Anaconda Range [Mc Glaughlin Pk (9483)], an unnamed peak with West Goat Mtn (10,793 ft) peering over the top; the Highland Mtns & Tobacco Root Mtns. (both to ne), Pioneer Mtns (east), the Big Hole Valley extending from the east southward & expanding, the southern Bitterroot Mtns (Lemhi Mtns east of Salmon, Idaho) south of the [illegible] Big Hole Valley, West Pintlar pk to the south. View to the west includes the whole Bitterroot chain from Boulder & Trooper Pks north
