| checked out North Buttress couloir but were stymied by rock step without gear and carrying skis. looks nice enough to return to (without skis). Settled for Colchuck Gl. and false summit tag. Great day out with Jonah, Annie and Seth. | |

| Snow above ~6500 ft. White out at the col but the summit was above the clouds, glad I continued. | |

| ClimberCrabs | I'll call this one good for now Date Climbed: Jun 13, 2009 | |
| I snuck in a trip to Colchuck just before the June 15 start date for permits. Camped in the boulder field below the Colchuck glacier and made too time up to the Col and onto Colchuck proper. Storms had been threatening all day and I finally turned around just shy of the summit when I noticed a menacing cloud front approaching. I rushed down the glacier and boulders, just diving into my tent as the rain started. I've been to Colchuck a few times now and always get turned around shy of the summit. I'll let this one be for not and probably be back before long with a prime season permit in hand. | |

| Successful climb up the North Buttress Couloir, snow was melting badly on the north face and plenty of loose rock if you want it. Made it car to car in 13 hours, started from Bellingham, Wa, at 2 am on the 16th, arriving back in bellingham at midnight the same day | |

| Unusually warm day for May. Lot's of rockfall and terrible snow conditions, but a beautiful day and a great workout. Rode my bike from Icicle Road up to the trail head to find no snow at all on the road and the parking lot 80% clear. A big NO THANK YOU to the rangers for leaving the road gated for no apparent reason. | |

| Great climb. Beautiful day. Lake was still frozen and we skinned across. Glacier made for a scary/icy ski down and there was deep snow up top. We could see a party up on Triple Couliours on Dragontail. | |

| Climbed from the trailhead to the summit in 4.5 hrs. Wore approach shoes until below the glacier, then boots - crampons weren't necessary, although the top 100' was a little firm and icy. Cloudy day unfortunately. Traversed to Dragontail then down Aasgard Pass afterwards. Definitely recommend the two as a linkup. | |

| Shared the route with one couple but other than that, all quiet. The crux was the long drive back to Spokane. | |

| First time up this summit! Snow was soft, sunk to knees some despite following steps ahead of us, but did ok. Topped out at noon. Like others, great glisade! | |
