| Oh, holy shit, the southeast ridge is a beautiful route! Descent mileage (over 12 miles) and lotsa ups and downs made for a pretty long day. Beautiful weather, incredibly aesthetic route! | |

| PeakLizard | Three Elk Creek - Full Crest Hike Date Climbed: Aug 18, 2012 | |
| Beautiful hike day originating from the trail along the still gushing Three Elk Creek (East approach). Third summit of Mt. Columbia and this time hiked the entire crest of the bowl - NE to Summit and around to SE (no trail after you pass the Cottonwood Creek trail connection (SW side). Big horn, marmots and coyote sighted. Long and challenging, but gorgeous tour, rare to see other hikers - no one on a Summer Saturday! | |

| chicagotransplant | via Harvard Date Climbed: Oct 22, 2011 | |
| Second ascent, solo via Frenchman Creek with PT 13374 and Harvard. Snow covered boulders below the "rabbits" were a bit tedious, but otherwise not a bad tour of the Frenchman Creek drainage on a nice fall day. | |

| Ted Eliason | A heap Date Climbed: Nov 10, 2008 | |
| A never ending heap of talus best hiked in firm snow. Took 2 tries to summit out of the sheer monotony of the long east ridge. | |

| pacojgarza | Alone on Columbia Date Climbed: Jul 10, 2011 | |
| I went up Columbia after summitting Harvard and Princeton the two previous days and made it to the summit in 3 hrs & 40 min from N. Cottonwood, the weather turned cloudy, chilly and blustery as I hit the summit ridge. I never saw anyone else on Columbia that day. The descent was very fast on the steep slopes. | |

| vbeckman74 | Ass Kicker Date Climbed: Jun 19, 2006 | |
| I did Columbia with Harvard. The snow, scree, and talus was an ass kicker. Start early if you're going to do both. I did it in 9 1/2 hours, which is a little faster than usual. | |

| Kiefer Thomas | SW Couloir/Ridge combo Date Climbed: Mar 20, 2011 | |
| Climbed as part of a 14ers.com winter gathering alongside Stephanie and Fletch and about 15+ other people. EXCEPTIONALLY windy on the ridge but calm on the summit. Saw a herd of elk of maybe 40-50 animals crossing drainages to the east. This was a very enjoyable day with great people!! | |
