| Redwic | Nice Peak!  Date Climbed: Jan 11, 2012 | |
| This peak was easy-going. Eric, Fletcher, Rob, Sergey, and I hiked up the snowy forested NE ridge slopes until reaching the east ridgetop at ~5000' elevation. From there, it looked like *a lot* of snowshoers and/or cross-country skiers had been following the ridgetop to the summit. The summit has great views, especially ofthe Chiwaukums, Jim Hill Mountain, and the Rock/Mastiff/Howard conglomerate. Highly recommended peak! | |

| juneauhiker | Pesky snow | |
| Snowshoed this with Bryan in low visibility. The E ridge itself was pretty fun but we encountered chunky, icy, deadfall-y snow in the trees that I wouldn't expect until late April, Welcome to the cascades I guess. | |

| Josh Lewis | Tough Day Out Date Climbed: Dec 27, 2010 | |
| I went without snowshoes a good ways which made the trip very tiring for me. For me it was harder than climbing Mount Rainier. | |

| beaudaddy85 | Long Day!!! Date Climbed: Jan 9, 2011 | |
| Snow was deep, temps were well below freezing, snow was flying, summit was breezy... It was a great winter destination. Not sure if our ascent was the typical route up but we found an easier way descending the NE ridge. | |

| Jimbopo | Pushing the Limits on Arrowhead Date Climbed: Dec 27, 2010 | |
| Charybdis hosted this wonderful winter snoeshoe. My brother Josh, his friend Matt Lemke and a couple dogs (Rex and Holly) came with us. Snow was good until the last half mile which was three feet of powder. I swam to the top! Charybdis kicked my butt on this one and my brother put up a nice report on nwhikers.net. Great mountain for harsh winter weather. | |

| jkuresman | Fun Winter Scramble Date Climbed: Feb 16, 2003 | |
| I've been up three times in winter on snowshoes. Each trip was via a different route. Finally did the usual NE ridge this past winter. It is the easiest route. All three were a lot of fun. | |

| gimpilator | Bad Weather Date Climbed: Feb 15, 2009 | |
| It was totally clear on the drive in until we crossed over the pass and from then on it snowed for the rest of the trip. No views and a severe wind chill on the summit, but fun all the same. Here is the route recorded by my GPS. It is a kml file and should be viewed in Google Earth. | |

| A nice spring day for skiing. Good corn on the upper slopes, but a bit sloppy down low. Had the mountain to ourselves on this particular day. | |
