| Vitaliy M. | Fun solo  Date Climbed: May 24, 2013 | |
| Climbed a very prominent arete to the right of the NE gully which splits up and right around the red rock band. Climbed a headwall that was 99% never climbed before- sketchiest moves I have done while soloing. Had a lot of fun in the end. Rock above wasn't bad at all and arete was amazing! | |

| crimsonblood | Wishing for more snow Date Climbed: Nov 26, 2011 | |
| We had hoped for more snow, but the start to the season was quite dry. Ended up bushwacking up to the NE ridge where decent rock was finally found. Overall a nice day and a nice view. | |

| bc44caesar | Mendenhall Couloir Variation Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2011 | |
| Car to summit in 2:25, solo. Lower portion covered in snow, so climbed loose 3rd class on the right. At one point you had to go underneath a slab of snow! Fun, but weird climbing overall. Missed the left turn to the right gully in the red band and ended up going up a smooth grey slab to a point north of the summit. Descended the large bowl to the north of the summit, then down a steep trail through brush. | |

| calipidder | From Laurel/Bloody Saddle Date Climbed: Jul 31, 2011 | |
| Gnarly storm weekend. Got an early start and planned on the Laurel/Bloody double but storms built crazy fast and we were in thunder/lightning/rain by the time we made it down from the quick Laurel summit. No bloody today... | |

| PrestonRhea | NE Gully Date Climbed: Jan 21, 2011 | |
| Having done it earlier in the summer as a rock climb, it seemed only fitting to climb it as a massive snow climb. Both were fun, definitely comparable in difficulty. I still think the descriptions of the "worst rock you will encounter" are very blown out of proportion; felt decently solid wherever I climbed up there. | |

| boyblue | Traverse From Bloody Date Climbed: Jul 18, 1982 | |
| Great view. Still a tremendous amount of snow on the surrounding peaks, but this route was mostly snow-free. Descended north side to the plateau then dropped down east to Convict Creek/ Lake. | |

| bearbnz | Re: NE Gully Up, Snowboard Down | |
| Nice job boarding that. Have you done Bloody Couloir? Just curious how they compare. I did Bloody and found it intimidating looking down from the top, but really not so difficult. | |
