| Vertigo soul | Late July corn surprise! Date Climbed: Jul 23, 2011 | |
| Absolutely perfect weather conditions and a lingering deep snow pack allowed for a late season corn fest. Although the added weight of skis slowed me down a bit, it was an easy straight forward climb with an amazing ski descent! Looking forward to doing it again. | |

| Cory | BC skiing at it's finest Date Climbed: May 24, 2009 | |
| 7000' of spring corn on Memorial Day weekend! One of the best ski descents I've done! Climbed with my friends John and Nick. I thought the route was crowded when I counted 10 people, until I summited and saw the line of people coming up the west side. The ranger on top said that 175 people had pulled summit permits. Suddenly sharing the route with 10 people didn't seem so bad. :) We camped at a nice spot around 10,600', and enjoyed seeing the shadow of Mount Shasta work its way across the landscape below as the sun set. | |

| hubix | Nice July skiing Date Climbed: Jul 18, 2010 | |
| Impressive how nice the skiing is mid July. We could ski from the summit to 1/2 mile before the trail head. | |

| SFMountaineer | Favorite route so far Date Climbed: Jul 25, 2010 | |
| Third summit, this time on the Hotlum Wintun Ridge, at 9:10am. Left camp at 8900 feet at 2:45am. A bunch of nice, but somewhat dusty, campsites at 8900 feet. We took the left drainage up, so we bypassed the campsites at 9600-9800 feet, which from what I read are on the right drainage. I highly recommend this route, a lot of fun. On a hot day, you need to get up there early, as the snow remained fairly unconsolidated and deep up high this late in the season and postholing was a serious issue for me. Almost didn't make it. | |

| Kara | Fantastic Ski Date Climbed: Jul 11, 2010 | |
| Long day, hiking at 5, skinning at 6, and we were able to skin 65%, before the bootpack. Top 2K was pristine skiing, lovely solid snow, then 3K of fun skiing, then 2k suncups. This mountain has a spirit like no other. | |

| mrchad9 | Fun solo trip Date Climbed: Jun 2, 2006 | |
| Fourth time to the summit and first time solo. Really enjoyed the trip- and the peace and solitude- didn't see anyone until hiking out. Trailhead was just melting out and had to drive over/around snow and downed trees to reach it. | |

| Darren9 | An easy and safe route Date Climbed: Jun 18, 2008 | |
| Used this route as fitness trainig for Rainier. A fun climb, with only snow and your own fitness to worry about. Safe, easy, and scenic. | |

| Groundswell | shake down trip | |
| did this with friend Jon as training for 6 week south america trip. very fun. Nobody on the route at all. long slog to high camp. climbed on right side of "ridge", crossed over a gap and headed up to summit and 10,000 other climbers. summit shot then back down. Slick ice on the way down from summit is good for practicing arrests, wether you want to or not. | |
