| BKW | A Cascades shot in the arm  Date Climbed: Jun 13, 2009 | |
| First car there at 6:30am on a Saturday morning. We had the summit to ourselves. Note: Pilchuck is apparently not the Si of Everett. This hike packed fun snow travel, great views, some unexpected solitude, and even a short but interesting scramble all into just a few hours car to car. | |

| ivyonup | Hiked with Sister | |
| We started out a bit later in the afternoon then planned, around 4pm, but we were still able to make it to the peak and back to our car before it was too dark. We had nice weather and a gorgeous view of the surrounding landscape. It was our last "hoorah" before I left for college. | |

| Merlin736 | Fogged in | |
| Went with my partner's Rainier team in April. Still lots of snow higher up. Slipped and self-arrested at one point. Had heard of fatalities just the week before. | |

| Cascade Scrambler | Near zero visibility Date Climbed: Nov 2, 2008 | |
| Climbed Eagle's Nest and East Knob while on my way up. Conditions were awful, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Less than 100 feet visibility the whole way up, with visibility down to less than 20 feet in places. Substantially high winds, and a torrential downpour rounded my day out. Good times! | |

| Dan Winter | Paint Trail | |
| I climbed ths mountain but I am not sure when. Surprising, since I usually keep a record of climbs I have done. I didn't really like the paint on the rocks although I can see where it could be easy to get off route. | |

| CascadeJess | This was my first hike Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2005 | |
| I had never done a hike before this one and so naturally due to being out of shape and not having the hiking experience it was very hard for me. But that's because I was a newbie. I did enjoy the view when I got the top because I'd never summited a mountain before, even though it is a tiny one. I'd like to go do it again this year now that I'm in better shape. I think it would be a lot easier for me. | |

| Mark Straub | Standard Route Date Climbed: Jun 28, 2007 | |
| Just a nice and easy hike up Pilchuck, the first mountain hike last year. I tried to organize a Boy Scout trip, but too few people could make it, so it just ended up being me, my dad, brother and dog, my neighbor and his dad, and Josh Lewis. Josh and I raced ahead and waited at the summit for a while, eating trail mix, before heading back down. Snow from about 1.5 miles. | |

| Cascade Scrambler | Autumn conditions with winter in the air Date Climbed: Nov 10, 2007 | |
| Awesome beginners hike for someone who has three hours to kill. The views (that I could see) were great from the ski area to the summit. The trail was covered with a half inch to about an inch and a half of fresh snow, and it was certainly cold enough to dump some more. Clouds obscured the view from about 1/3 of the way to the top. Sweet little hike though... | |

| EastKing | Snow in September Date Climbed: Sep 29, 2007 | |
| Climbed up in the rain most of the way up. Hit snowfall line at 4500 feet. The snow was starting to stick on the summit making the small scramble a little slick. I enjoyed I nice view of snow falls and some rocks. Still worthwhile | |

| Redwic | Awesome 360-Degree View! | |
| Two friends & I summitted Mount Pilchuck in June 2000. We really enjoyed the lookout at the top. There was still a lot of snowpack on the ground, which was a lot of fun to glissade during our descent. | |

| Had to park about a mile down the road from the trailhead because of snow. Still many feet of snow over the entire route. Great tracks to follow a very direct route up. Great hike year round! | ||
