| Sarah Simon | Fourmile Creek  Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2009 | |
| FINALLY! After being thwarted three other times (once by whiteout, once by a partner's real estate schedule and once by sketchy avy conditions) I finally made the summit of this peak on a beautiful, if blustery, June day. Partners: Deb and her good friends Candy & Todd and Cheryl. Dog: Stimpy. | |

| volda2000 | Soupy Fog Date Climbed: May 24, 2009 | |
| Wanted to climb the Boudoir Couloir however the snow had already seen it's peak. Fresh snow, warm weather and soupy fog made for an interesting climb. Couldn't see a thing from the top! | |

| Came via Peerless and Sheridan and was relieved to be able to descend from the ridge and get out of the wind! | |

| CMC hike. We alternated between hiking on the mining roads and the ridge separating Horseshoe Gulch and Fourmile Creek. The weather was almost perfect. It was pretty windy at the Horseshoe/Peerless saddle, and we had a few drops of rain, but that was all. There was only one other hiker with his dog on Horseshoe. Lots of people were headed up Sherman. Once we were done on Horseshoe, we headed on over to Peerless Mountain. | |

| and then sunny by Peerless and Sheridan. Went up the Boudoir Couloir with a friendly bunch from the CMC. Was actually underwhelmed by the couloir itself, but had a fine time all around. | |

| Kiefer Thomas | From Sheridan Date Climbed: May 20, 2007 | |
| Great day on top! Just enough wind to keep the sun from becoming too hot. Snow was still hard and storms were about 90-120 minutes to the west. Good day. | |

| Gahugafuga | 3 More 13ers off the list Date Climbed: May 18, 2007 | |
| Made a figure 8 of Horseshoe, Finnback Knob and Peerless Mountain. That brings me 3 summits closer to finishing off the most awful and charmless mountain range in the history of this planet. | |

| Good, God! Sustained 20mph winds with gusts up around 45-48mph up on the ridge. Air temps in the mid 20's. Don't want to know what the wind chill was. I got knocked down a few times, on a snow slope that was very alarming! Hiked this with 2 other friends. 7.5 hours. The cirque is amazing! | |

| ashlandbus | Came in from Weston Pass Date Climbed: Jun 17, 2006 | |
| Climbed coming from Weston Pass. Gained ~1700 ft. in first 1.25 mi from TH to Ptarmigan Peak ~13,800. Continued along ridge to Horsehoe. Didn't see a soul all day. Caught some elk that had two predators stalking (Mtn. Lion?). Scrambled 3 miles of rock falls on the way back down. Bad idea. There was literally no trail to follow from Weston Pass, but all is over treeline, so peaks were simple to find. 99% free of snow. | |

| Some drifts still on the road but still an enjoyable hike. The wind really picked up once on top of the ridge but died down a bit on the summit. I'd been wanting to do this one for a while. I'll have to come back and do the couloir sometime. | |
