| jacobsmith | Chair Peak x2  Date Climbed: Feb 9, 2013 | |
| Climbed the NE buttress, encountering mixed conditions lower down, with weird, rotten ice and neve higher up. never broke out of the cloud layer. made a mistake on the descent and ended up down-climbing and then re-ascending most of the west face. why does this keep happening? | |

| We made the summit in a total white out but it was a nice and solid ice climb.By the time we returned to the base by a double rope repell the snow fresh snow was waist deep powder it was some of the best powder I ever seen lite and fluffy wish I had skis. | |

| 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. | |

| 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". | |

| 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). | |
