| Natasha | Red Gully Date Climbed: Sep 8, 2007 | |
| Absolutely, incredible...I am still in awe of that peak. Was going to attempt the NW couloir, but got a late start and wanted more time for route finding so, we decided on the standard route instead. Loved the climbing in the Red Gully, had perfect weather, and met many interesting people en route, Reascending Broken Hand Pass wasn't as bad as I was expecting. CL Road sucked, but...we all know that. ;) | |

| Outdoorpartner | Tough scramble Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2006 | |
| I totally underestimated this climb! It took me 10 hours, and had some tough downclimbing -- trying NOT to loosen rockfall for those below. | |

| chicagotransplant | Red Gully right side variation Date Climbed: Jun 11, 2006 | |
| Climbed with Tracy (gurlyclimber). We were hoping for sustained knobby conglomerate and the gully really didn't offer it so we mostly climbed the knobby face to the right of the gully to make it more interesting. We descended the gully though because we didn't want to downclimb all of the class 4 stuff we found on the way up. Had the summit to ourselves once again! | |

| jomal | Route Climbed: Red Coulior Date Climbed: July 2005 | |
| Climbed right after climbing the Needle, so we were pretty tired. A fair amount of snow, so we had to go off route a bit, but a fun, easy climb. | |
