| Great ski descent after battling the wind all the way up. I was knocked to the ground twice, and Ben three times. Brutal conditions, but well worth the effort. | |

| Great, safe, winter climb. Easy to avoid slopes prone to sliding. Just be mindful of the way back down if conditions turn. It would be easy to miss the right descent. | |

| This was one of my early climbs with the IU hiking group, and I enjoyed it thoroughly enough to be inspired to keep hiking weekly with this group! | |

| sync | 1st Winter Summit Date Climbed: Mar 1, 2009 | |
| My first serious winter summit. The wind was fierce on the glacier but let up a bit after that. A long slog up the snow, but a beautiful summit, well worth the effort! | |

| A beautiful day for some climbing! Axe and I hit the summit before he strapped on his board to head back. I was able to glissade several segments. Not much snow up there now. _____________________ 15 Feb 2004 Wind for the first half of the climb was stiff. It died down once we reached the flank of James. Snow pack is consolidated with some loose snow. Crampons worked well for the whole trip. My wife was in snowshoes but didn't gain much advantage due to the packed snow. Great view from the summit; so many peaks to explore. | |

| Climbed James and Kingston for a chill day in the mountains. The views were great and the alpine start paid off, as we were down before the Labor Day weekend madness took over. ---- 6/12/11 - Climbed with my wife. Enjoyed watching playful marmots on the summit. | |

| chicagotransplant | Shooting Star climb/ski Date Climbed: Jun 7, 2008 | |
| Climbed this one with Jamie Nellis, Prakash (Maverick), Brian (Zenalpinist) and Stephanie. Great climb but tiring kicking steps the whole way! I then skied back down the couloir, steep and narrow and the top. Definitely my steepest backcountry line to date! | |

| After we got to Loveland Pass road and found it closed, I took my wife here for her first climb. We climbed with my friend Heath and his woman, Kelly (her first climb as well). Several CMC members on a training course on the lower glacier. We climbed up the glacier to the plateau. Lots of wind, and great views all day! | |
