| Left from Blue Lakes and climbed up the ridge to the left of the basin to avoid excessive snow in the basin. Couldn't avoid snow near the summit. | |

| Awesome hike up the valley but gaining the ridge was absolutely brutal. Nothing but scree. My poor Labrador made it all the way up. See trip report. | |

| I saw enough of Mayflower Gulch this winter so decided to get this one from the other side in a short day. | |

| A 12-hour day, much more difficult (and fun) than expected. | |

| shanahan96 | frosty fletcher Date Climbed: Dec 27, 2007 | |
| climbed fletcher with kiefer. postholing was a pain, but shortlived for colorado winter. we thought we were going to catch a weather up high as we obtained the high plateau of point 13,515, but that was not to be. temps of -5/-10 with a windchill in the -30s made this day lots tougher than the forecast predicted. hard day, lots of lessons learned. jamie | |

| Forcasts called for high winds, sub-zero temps and snow. Shanahan96 and myself got to experience all three and some pleasant sunshine in the afternoon. It turned painfully cold on the way out as we donned our headlamps. The summit had to have been around -10. As far as your winter summits go, I was surprised at the amount of physical commitment this peak required. But a good, taxing day none-the-less. | |

| shknbke | SE ridge from Blue Lakes Date Climbed: Sep 29, 2007 | |
| Hiked Fletcher in some early season light snow with some nifty winds, but manageable. Wish we had better views, but visibility opened up enough to get decent views. Traversed over to the east couloir route on Drift. | |

| Sarah Simon | Southeast Ridge via Blue Lakes Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2007 | |
| This is probably one of my favorite mountain hikes EVER. The approach full of hanging lakes is just mind-blowing. Heavy snow fields. Just an amazing day. The weather held off for us, too; all we got was a sprinkle of rain, despite early-building clouds. Climbing Partners: Janet & Pazit | |

| seth@LOKI | After three tries! Date Climbed: Jul 20, 2007 | |
| I've approached Fletcher 3 times and turned back from a blizzard from Blue Lakes, and thwumping avalanches from the Mayflower Gulch side. This I climbed teh rock rib left of teh main gulley from Mayflower Gulch. The rocks were slick as snot from perpetual rain the night before. Clouds rolled in and turned me away from Driftwood, but the clouds seemed stable as I descended so I went up the green south wall of Atlantic Peak nad onto Pacific, then a quick visit to the cute little green horn on the way back to Mayflowwer Gulch. | |

| Gahugafuga | Should've skied Date Climbed: Jun 9, 2007 | |
| After having to turn back due to high winds last year, came back to claim Fletcher. I climbed some random chute in the cirque along the SE ridge approach. It got ridiculously steep near the narrowest point but made for pretty good practice. I wish I had brought skis, I could've been done in 3 hours roundtrip. | |
