| wfry | North Couloir - Right Fork  Date Climbed: Jul 8, 2012 | |
| Climbed this route later in the year with a team of six from SMG. From base camp (Laurel lakes), it took us about 3 hrs to summit and 2 hrs to descend the NW ridge. At the time the couloir was still in good shape and made for a good steep climb. Overall, this was a great trip. The road leading into Laurel canyon IS as rough as everyone says. You most definitely need a reliable 4WD vehicle with a good amount of ground clearance and good tires to tackle this beast. We used a 2001 Durango and a later model Ford F350 Super Duty to get in and out. | |

| Drove almost to the switchbacks. Climbed the looker's left side of the couloir behind a party of five who camped at Laurel Lakes the night before. Skied the looker's right side of the rock islands on soft snow. Great summit views. | |

| Climbed the right fork of Bloody Couloir. Steep but soft snow made the climb easy going. Fun route! | |

| Took the very scenic drive up the 4x4 road following Laurel Creek. Got a flat on the rocks turning around at the trailhead. Went ahead for the easy dayhike, fixed the flat at the end. | |

| wmolland | Bloody awesome! Date Climbed: Apr 27, 2009 | |
| It took forever to post hole my way up the couloir but my effort was rewarded in possibly one of the finest ski descents in history. Definitely a classic and made better by 6 inches of still soft powder. | |

| Fun climb and first solo. Was originally going to head up Laurel but misread the map and ended up on Bloody. Whoops. Oh well, I wanted to climb Bloody anyways. | |

| Deb | Bloody Couloir - Left Fork Date Climbed: May 20, 2007 | |
| Solo climb - Totally beautiful couloir, hard frozen snow; perfect weather. Brought 2 axes for the right fork but after "shitting myself" over large rockfall, I opted for the "cheesy" route on the left. Loved it like cake on top! Descended by way of north ridge choss slide and into a rock chute, then down to the road; couloir frozen too hard to glissade. Had to park next to telescope hut due to undesirable road conditions for my pansy Xterra, so I got my good hike in as well. Pretty pleased with this mountain. | |
