| jamesmc2 | Finger of Fate | |
| Absolute classic. Beautiful camp on the southern flank of the Wilson glacier. Perfect spring/early summer conditions. Left camp at 4:00 am and summited at 11:00 am. Ski descent back to camp by 1:30. My first time above 14,000. | |

| bighornmonkey | Route to ourselves  Date Climbed: Jun 29, 2010 | |
| Summitted via this route on a very windy day. A block of ice came down and hit my helmet which resulted in (fortunately) only a broken headlamp. Some exiting crevasse crossings. Summitted at 1:15pm. Descended the same route. Very soft snow on the way down near 9,500 ft around 3:30pm. Fun route. | |

| alpine climber | up the finger, down the DC | |
| Party of 3 climbed through clouds at Paradise and into sunshine, where we camped near the Fuhrer Finger. Great conditions on the Finger. We were on the summit for 5 minutes before a lenticular cloud hit us. Started down the DC and the clouds broke when we entered the crevasse fields. Fun route, felt like we had the mountain to ourselves. | |

| Climbed with Greg Frank and Matt Strausser. First technical climb, lots of rock fall on the return trip back down the Finger. Excellent weather. Seems like the route to take on this mtn. Only one other party was climbing the day we summited. Approximate date. | |
