| A classic. Easy access, and fun but not scary climbing. | ||

| EverydayExplorer | North Face Date Climbed: Dec 10, 2009 | |
| Showed up late, got stuck behind another party and we were moving pretty slow as is. Climbed the first pitch of the North Face which was a blast then bailed. It was the right decision but sucks none the less. | |

| Darren9 | NE Buttress | |
| This route in summer was fun, rock was a little loose and I got "off route" (the traverse back to safety was a little harrowing) all in all a nice way to go. Rappelled down the chimeys to finish. | |

| ericwillhite | NE Buttress a few times Date Climbed: Oct 12, 1996 | |
| I remember one early winter attempt where we were forced by ice to retreat, rapping on a root or something aweful like that. No wonder I climb only the easiest routes! | |

| Buckaroo | N Face and NE Butress Date Climbed: Jan 10, 1994 | |
| N Face Solo, very sketchy, thin crust over powder on the top half. N Face rarely comes in very good conditions. NE Buttress usually a lot better because it's on the sunny side so it gets the melt/freeze. Not recommended in summer, climbers have been killed due to choss rock, no good gear. Soloed the NE Buttress a month later and a year later with a friend. 4 attempts before the first summit. | |

| snowflake | East Face Sep 1987 Date Climbed: Sep 1, 1987 | |
| First time I ever led, taking a first time climber. Luckily it was an easy climb or else we would have had "a bad day". | |

| Mjollnir | NE Buttress (Winter) Date Climbed: Jan 27, 2009 | |
| Great alpine route in full conditions - snow, spindrift avalanches, high winds, low visibility. . Don and Pat were on route at the same time we were. Route is in good condition (right now). | |

| esugi | NF of Chair Date Climbed: Feb 20, 2006 | |
| Made pretty easy ascent of NF in mostly snow conditions. Was hoping for more ice but only spots on the first pitch. Made the route in 3 pitches and we were feeling pretty good about it until a guy (Jens from CC.com) came soloing up the route AFTER already soloing the NE Buttress. He climbed the route in mere 30 minutes (?). He put us to shame. Great descent on otherwise great outing. | |
