| Matt Mahoney | Route Climbed: Frenchman Creek basin from Harvard Date Climbed: Aug 18 2001  | |
| 9th summit of Nolan's 14. Reached the summit at 3 AM after getting lost on a horrible 5 hour traverse from Harvard, crossing boulders and climbing dangerously steep loose rocks with a flashlight in my teeth. It is easy to follow the route in daylight, but not when you can't see beyond the 100 ft. range of your flashlight with no moon. Did not sleep. Descended steep S ridge. Tricky in the dark with many diverging ridges that lead into steep ravines. Fortunately it was getting light by the time I reached treeline and had to bushwack off-trail. On to Yale. | |

| Rather steep if you are climbing Columbia by itself, stick to the trail on the descent. | |
