| Climbed with balajisv. Bergschrund is just opening, about 10 ft. long. We brought rope and pro but didn't need it as there wasn't any ice exposed in the gully. Route Climbed: Glacier Canyon/North Face Date Climbed: 7/10/2004 Sucess! Climbed with Anna on her quest to conquer Dana. We decided to not be a tourist and do a variation starting in Glacier Canyon. We descended the normal route. | ||

| Incredible summit views. The skiing down the NE ridge and the couloir was the best backcountry skiing I've ever done. Well, almost the best, but I won't say where that was... | ||

| Heavy snow year in 2005 - looks like Dana Couloir will have snow for another few weeks. Approach was extremely long, so much sun cup snow. Got run over by a snowboarder on the couloir and had to use self arrest (for the first time ever). Glad to report it worked! | ||

| This is the first peak I ever climbed at the young age of 16. Got me started on a fairly long list of Sierra peaks bagged through the years. Climbed it again in 1977 (I think!) via the glacier/couloir route with newly purchased ice-axes (we sure looked cool hiking the JMT with those!). Climbed both times with Tim Stafford. | ||

| ASteele | Route Climbed: Standard walk-up Date Climbed: July 2002 ![]() | |
| A group of friends and I hiked up Dana one night after work to watch the moonrise. We had only been on top for 5 minutes or so when the biggest moon I've ever seen popped out over Mono Lake and the Craters. Up there with the most breathtaking things I've ever seen, for sure. The walk-off was mellow with a headlamp and a little moonlight. | ||

| Really nice day hike. Mono Lake from the summit was awsome. The register on the summit had some really moving entries in it. | ||

| We climbed it on our second attempt, but reached the summit at sundown. This time all the snow had turned to ice. We had to barrow some icesrews and in exchange had a team of three tag on our rope. Late night it was when we got back to the car. | ||

| This was such a fun little hike, with really awesome views. We even got to glissade a bit on the way down - sometimes it wasn't steep enough though, so we had to take a running start :) | ||

| Third time summiting Dana this year...my excuse this trip was placing a summit register, since the old one has been gone since forever. Standard military surplus ammo box (nicely airtight...it hissed when I opened it at the summit), secured in rocks. | ||
