| seth@LOKI | 3 peaks after 3 x denied  Date Climbed: Jul 20, 2007 | |
| I've approached Fletcher 3 times and turned back from a blizzard from Blue Lakes, and thwumping avalanches from the Mayflower Gulch side. This I climbed the rock rib left of the main gulley from Mayflower Gulch. The rocks were slick as snot from perpetual rain the night before. Clouds rolled in and turned me away from Driftwood, but the clouds seemed stable as I descended. I didn't like the rotten Chamonix looking traverse to Atlantic, so I went up the green south wall of Atlantic Peak nad onto Pacific, then a quick visit to the cute little green horn on the way back to Mayflowwer Gulch. I didn't visit the rickety mine high on the south wall, but it looked like a very precarious place to extract a living. | |

| Number three of three peaks for the day. The climb was uneventfull, but the climb down the West ridge was a highlight. We reached our goal of all three peaks, yippy! | |

| Gahugafuga | West Ridge Ski Descent Date Climbed: Apr 28, 2007 | |
| Climbed Atlantic via the West Ridge route. Descended the ridge to 13400' and skied a wide chute that funneled into a few small chutes through a cliff band. Fun day, and much faster than walking the whole way back. | |

| Beautiful route on a beautiful winter day! Turned around just over 13k due to time (late start). | |

| Did Atlantic and Pacific from Mayflower Gulch, up Atlantic's west ridge then up the south slopes of Pacific. We were able to drive up to the end of the road as there wasn't much snow yet. The west ridge is a fun class 2 route. | |

| Brian Kalet | Atlantis Couloir (ascent); East Couloir (descent) Date Climbed: Jun 5, 2006 | |
| Skied from the summit! The East Couloir is a much better ski descent than the Atlantis Couloir; it's steeper and continuous from the summit; 4 hours roundtrip. | |

| My first peak!, Seems so long ago, and I've climbed it since, but Atlantic will always be my first ;) Still adore the Tenmile/Mosquito Range 6 years later. | |

| Way to go on Atlantic! How was the day? It was warm down below. Get some more sweet views of the spires? | |

| Summit was windy with a bit of graupel. Arrived about 45 minutes after sisyphus left. Headed straight east from summit down a gulley (BAD IDEA, go back to the saddle to descend) and down McCullough Gulch, across Wheeler trail to the car parked in Spruce Creek. | ||

| Snuck in a quick ascent of this peak in an otherwise bad weather cycle. Windy day. The hike up to the peak is really beautiful. | |
