| mychael | First Mountaineering Experience | |
| Climbed the DC in aug 2004. Woefully underprepared and extremely lucky for the excellent weather and incident free day. Looking back now, it was quite foolish to even attempt due to my lack of experience. | |

| Schuetzenweber | Great weather Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2009 | |
| Climbed Ingraham Direct with Mitch Barrie, Doc Chuck and KT. Great weather, no wind and warm temps. Fantastic view. What a difference from the previous year. The moon lit the way, ladder somewhere on ID and watching dawn approaching while merging routes above the DC were some of the highlights. Temps got so warm our Axes punched right through some of the snow-bridges on our descent. | |

| SKI | Winter Attempt Date Climbed: Feb 9, 2010 | |
| Excellent but cold weather conditions (rare!). Terrible snow up high on Gib Ledges- final chute was an avalanche waiting to happen. Turned around as a group, confident that we had made the right decision. So close... | |

| mandrake | Mt. Rainier Date Climbed: Jul 10, 2008 | |
| Ascent via the Emmons Glacier. Crux was navigating through the crevasses in the dark. Ended up doing a high traverse beneath the bergshrund. Conditions were perfect -- long-sleeve t-shirt and a shell were all the layers needed until arriving at the saddle. Saw a bear in hiking out. | |

| Snowslogger | The big one for WA Date Climbed: Jul 20, 1995 | |
| Finally climbed this one after two previous attempts. The one that got me into climbing in the first place, looking at a 14K snow-covered mountain from sea level in the middle of summer. Have since climbed it two more times (DC twice, Emmons once). Have also attempted the Kautz but got weathered off. | |

| oconnellr | DC route Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2009 | |
| Drove down to the Longmire parking lot from Vancouver in the evening, hiked up to Camp Muir the following day, left the hut around 2:30 for a slow slog up the DC route. Off track in the cleaver following a group ahead of us which wasted some time, by still a slow summit by 10:30. Back to the hut, nap for a couple hours, hike back to the parking lot, and drive back to Vancouver by about 1am. Impressive glaciers! | |
