| rickopolis | Southwest Buttress Date Climbed: Aug 3, 2012 | |
| Climbed from camp just west of and below Indian Basin. Fun scrambling and incredible summit views. Ended up doing some fourth class climbing on the descent due to inattention to the route. | |

| Hiked into camp at Island Lake and climbed the next morning; very smoky from some bad fires in Idaho, but the views from the summit were still unbelievable! | |

| SarahThompson | SW Buttress from Indian Basin Date Climbed: Jul 30, 2012 | |
| Climbed standard route from camp at 11,200 feet in Indian Basin. OK scramble, awesome summit and views! Descended same way and then climbed Jackson in the afternoon... which was harder over all. | |

| DarrenKnezek | Did this in a few hours from Titcomb Lakes Date Climbed: Aug 28, 2011 | |
| Hiked around Mistake Lake and then angled up and right through a steep talus couloir. Jennifer was right! It totally connected into the SW trail. The entire climb only took half a day and we got a late start having summited Gannett the day before! | ||

| splattski | Mixed snow and rock Date Climbed: Jun 23, 2010 | |
| After a two-day approach, we got a hard freeze and perfect weather for a mixed climb- the last 1000' was in crampons. Sunny, absolutely calm on the summit. Very, very fun climb. | |

| Solo backpack to Indian Basin via Island Lake. As I started up the trail to the saddle, hooked up with thru-hiker Craig H. for a great scramble up excellent granite slabs to a summit block with stunning views of Titcomb Basin, Gannet Peak, the Tetons and sweeping glaciers. web album here: http://picasaweb.google.com/Kent.McLemore/WindRiverRange2009# | |

| mtn ear | Climbed with Son Date Climbed: Jul 23, 2008 | |
| My nine year old son Frank attained his highest point yet on this fun climb. We were camped in lower Titcomb Basin and went up the boulder filled couloir to SE of Mistake Lake, then up and over rocky knob and down to saddle. Descent was into Indian Basin. Fun climb and very proud of my little mountaineer! | |

| wyopeakMike | from Indian Basin | |
| I scrambled up the SW buttress during a five day backpack in 97. I had the summit to myself, and what a great place to hang out. Two nights later I was camped out at Mistake Lake, and during a terrible hailstorm, I heard screams from above. The next morning a helicopter came flying in and lowered rescue rangers high on the peak. It turns out the day before a woman had broken her leg, and she spent the night alone on the peak. The storm was very fierce that night, and it was eerie to hear her scream. I was in a great spot to watch the rescue unfold. It was 1997, before everyone had cellphones, but fortunately someone had one to call the rescue in. | |

| hfaust | up the titcomb side | |
| few times in the late 90's got caught once in a storm below the summit. Ice axe was buzzing, sparks coming off gaitors, clients trying kill themselves. That was an interesting one | |
