| CzechMark | Deceiving Date Climbed: Sep 2, 2012 | |
| Spent a great night @ Foggy Lake then climbed Gothic the next morning. The scramble looked a lot longer and harder than it really was. Caught glimpses of Mt Baker, Glacier Peak, and Mt Rainier thru the clouds | |

| gimpilator | 7 Hours Round Trip Date Climbed: Aug 16, 2011 | |
| The late snow this year made the approach easier. I used to think that the summit block would be a tough scramble but its not hard if you go to the south side. | |

| Weather was in the upper 80's. Gothic Basin can get pretty warm. Made it to Foggy Lake. Decided to climb Gothic Peak instead of Del Campo. We only had enough time to do one or the other. Got some bunk directions at the lake that really messed us up. Made it to about 100' from the summit and searched for any signs of trail for about an hour. We finally went all the way to the left where the cliff is at, then turned right and scrambled up some pretty exposed boulders but ran out of time. We didnt want to commit to far up with our time...we still weren't convinced then that this was the route. Later found out that the way we were scrambling was the correct route. Bummer, we were so close. We are going to do an overnighter in 2010 and summit both Del Campo and Gothic... | |

| at least it wasn't as wet as earlier in the day when we were atop Del Campo, but I still have to come here for the views I missed ;-] | |

| jkuresman | Fun Summit Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2005 | |
| The summit block looked a lot worse than it turned out to be. Good rock made for a fun scramble. Great views too. | |

| Overnight trip, camped by Foggy Lake. Sunday morning we awoke and gained the summit of Gothic, to views of rocky peaks, pines, and tarns veiled by fog. | |

| Karl Helser | Fun Scramble... Date Climbed: Sep 23, 2006 | |
| Left Portland at 7:00am Friday, got to Barlow Pass parking lot at noon. Hiked up to Foggy Lake and spent the rest of the day scouting for a flat, dry spot for camp. Up early Saturday morning to shoot some sunrise pics then after breakfast scrambled Del Campo. Came back to camp for lunch then off to Gothic peak. Came back to camp for dinner and a few sunset pics. Bucked camp early Sunday morning and headed out. Big spaghetti feed at The Omega restaurant in Granite Falls (highly recommend). Back in Portland by early evening. The weather was cool & crisp at night and warm & sunny during the day. Gothic Basin is a really cool place to spend a few days exploring the surrounding peaks. I'll definitely be back to explore other routes. I love the rock slabs...It's like walking on sandpaper. | |

| osatrik | SE Ridge - solo Date Climbed: Oct 17, 1999 | |
| I love the upper part of this hike, the upper traverse past the waterfalls and then across the slabs to enter photogenic Gothic Basin. I was up there once with a couple of other OSATers (Pete S and ?) when it was pouring rain, and we felt like salmon going upstream on the trail. Stood behind a rock at the lake out of the wind, and then hustled back down the creek. A few years later I returned by myself to do the scramble on a beautiful day. | |

| A moderate sramble to some outstanding views. The nearby Castle Crags are also interesting scrambles to worthy summits. | ||

| One of the most scenic hikes!!! I went with my friend, Alainna. We only went to Gothic Basin & partway up Del Campo for killer views. Alainna got burned, so for all you fair skin people, slather on the sunblock! | |
