| jrf | Route Climbed: East Ridge w/ North Ridge descent Date Climbed: May 22, 2005  | |
| I'd been looking forward to this for a while so I could take pictures of the Diamond. Views are unreal from the top. A lot of patchy snow left which made the East Ridge a tough slog but finally made the top in about 4 hours. North Ridge is much nicer going down (and I'd guess coming up). | |

| Climbed with Charles. Awesome views, good weather. Met two skiers who had just completed a ski descent of the Cables route. | |

| Great climb in perfect weather. Snow was getting pretty soft and slushy on the descent. Best "sudden reveal" summit view I've ever seen. Wow! | |

| A great day in the mountains! The view of the Diamond was awesome. Snowshoes/ Ice Axe/ Crampons were helpful on the ascent. | |

| This was a great little scramble to a nice 13, but honestly the climb was dwarfed by the menacing Longs Peak on the horizon. It was super windy when we summited which made for a brief and cool stay for a couple of pictures, then back down past the chippies. | |

| A great climb with Fabio (brenta) and Phillipo. Incredible weather with blue skies and scarcely any wind on the way up. Snow, heavy at times, on the way down... A great day with amazing views. | |

| Windy day going up, but was very clear. Descended via East side to Mills Moraine, then traversed to Jims Grove. I did this climb with Ed Crothers from CMS as part of my Winter Mountaineering/Expedition Training course. | ||

| I've wanted to climb this mountain for a long time solely for the view of The Diamond. I was not disappointed! I descended directly to Chasm Lake, which was quite interesting and afforded sustained, excellent views. | |

| definitely worth the short scramble from the Boulderfield. The view of the East Face of Longs Peak from here is spectacular. | |

| RyanS | Route Climbed: East Slopes Date Climbed: April 17, 2004 | |
| I don't think I'd recommend the East Slopes route when the snow is unconsolidated and somewhat slushy. Postholing our way to the summit wasn't all that fun. But that view of The Diamond when Erin and I got there was amazing and made all our effort worth it. We descended the much gentler North Ridge toward Granite Pass and took a 250' glissade down into the basin. We endured more postholing while we moved through Jim's Grove, but after that we had a great time slipping and sliding our way back to the trailhead. Rather than taking the East Slopes, try heading to Granite Pass and ascending the North Ridge. Going that way, this is a highly recommended winter/spring climb! | |

| Chris | Route Climbed: Ascend the west slopes, descend the east slopes Date Climbed: July 2002 | |
| Hit this on the way down from an ascent of Long's. Barely made it off before a huge storm hit. Ran to treeline just as huge hailstorm w/ lightning began. Bad idea in hindsight :-) | |

| miztflip | Route Climbed: From Chasm cutoff, down to Granite Pass Date Climbed: November 20, 2003 | |
| Great day, high winds but clear. Straight up from Chasm Cutoff and then down to Granite Pass, over Battle Mountian and down thru Jim's Grove. Not another sole out. Has to be the Grandest view of Long's anywhere. | |

| Incredible views of the Diamond on Longs from the summit. Almost got blown off by an amazingly strong gust of wind one day! | |

| Nelson | Route Climbed: Up from Chasm Lake cutoff, down the other side Date Climbed: May 2003, most recently | |
| As stated, maybe an unimpressive looking mountain, but sitting in one of the most impressive places in Colorado! Great views of many classic mountaineering routes on Longs and Meeker. Well worth the hike, any season. | |
