| The wife, pup and I. Missed the trail on the way down somehow (snow covered?) and ended up above some neat cliffs. A little backtracking was required, but we made it. | |

| Frustrating day of postholing and having the dog on leash for the bushwhack (the leash got tangled a LOT!). | |

| Decided to head straight up one of the couloirs to meet the east ridge. Great glissade down standard slope. Beautiful day | |

| Woodie Hopper & I celebrated our 40th birthdays by climbing the southeast slope. Think we stayed on the Halfmoon Creek trail on the way up well past where we should have crossed the creek. Ended up slogging through some swampy muck before crossing what was left of the creek above 11,600. No matter, as we ended up where we needed to be for the true climbing portion of the hike. Some snow on the mountain on the final ascent, and on the summit, but nothing difficult to get past. Really cloudy w/ low visibility on top. Came through the forest on the way down. Kind of guessed our way through the trees until we could hear the creek & find a place to cross. Overall a great hike & some serious solitude! | |

| A little snow, a good time. Climbed with David Halliburton from Tulsa. I failed the first time earlier this year partially due to a lot of snow, and a lack of preparedness. Not this time. | |

| The register only had 7 summits for this year. It was great to see the names of many SP'ers and friends that had signed over the past few years. Got a nice glissade on the way down. | |

| A long day that included 5 peaks but all relitively easy to get to. My 82nth centennial! | |

| shknbke | SE Slopes, traverse to Champion Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2009 | |
| Combined Oklahoma with a ridge traverse to Deer/K49/13736/Champion. Nice way to get all of these if the weather holds for you with plenty of bailout options. Halfmoon Creek was moving pretty fast, but I found a great place to cross at 11740' above the cascade that was an easy two foot hop across. | |

| jrf | Southeast Slopes from Halfmoon Date Climbed: Aug 23, 2008 | |
| Interesting route finding on the way up but a really nice climb. We were surprised to see two other people on the summit. I believe we crossed the creek too early but we were able to find a good route with no issues on the ascent and descent. | |

| Gahugafuga | SE Slopes Ski Descent Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2008 | |
| Skied off the summit between scattered snow showers and wind. The snowpack was super fat above treeline. Warmer temps would've made for nicer conditions but apparently summer isn't coming this year. | |

| shanahan96 | near the end Date Climbed: Nov 10, 2007 | |
| 12/29/12- -22 degrees when steve and i started. there wasn't too much snow, but we postholed all the way to the summit. tired afterwards.... 11/10/07- took advantage of the early low-snow year to nab oklahoma with jamie. pristine, peaceful area made for an enjoyable hike. the snow started on the upper mountain(~13,200')which made for a rougher last hour or so to finish our climb. our descent towards treeline was accompanied by an hour long snowstorm. fun day! jamie | |

| CMC outing in Oct 2005 - right after a small snowfall. The mountains around were all dusted with snow - great views from the summit! | |

| Climbed Oklahoma en route to Massive. Due to weather concerns, we started at 1:00 am and summited at 4:30 am. The weather initially was fine; however, it quickly deteriorated into blowing snow and very high wind. We traversed from Oklahoma to Massive's summits via OK's north ridge. | |

| altitude14er | Route Climbed: Southeast Slopes Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2006 | |
| I ascended the Southeast Slopes Route. Took the East Ridge down to the lower lake. The tundra is still in full bloom and looking very green and vibrant right now. Climbing without aid of a trail was a real treat. Suprisingly, Saw 5 others on this seldom visited peak. | |

| Larry V | Southeast slopes on snow Date Climbed: Jun 17, 2006 | |
| Still a lot of snow up there, getting soft. Nearby Massive looked dry in comparison. Beautiful summit views in all directions - well worth it. Glissaded down about 1400'. Climbed with Ron. | |
