| Began at 1am from Muir under perfect conditions. Light snow at 3am turned to full blown blizzard conditions at about 5am (13,200') so we had to turn back. ID route was in great shape but is expected to fall apart in the next couple of weeks. | |

| mt_daydream | Route Climbed: Gibraltar ledges Date Climbed: May 26-27, 2005 | |
| Andreas (from Switzerland) and I climbed the Gibraltar ledges on Friday. Had the mountain all to overselves with just one other team going up the ID route. We got lost below the Gib rock on the way up and wasted more than 1.5 hrs traversing some 55 degree snow and ice (and traversing all that hard parts back:). Got back on route and finished the technical part under perfect conditions. Andreas was feeling tired and hence we decided to turn back once we could access the gentle upper slopes. The ID route was way on the right side and there were a lot of crevasses in between. So we decided to go up all the way to the crater. At around 13,500 ft, we saw the wands on the ID route to our right, and traversed the glacier towards them. Headed down after a brief rest. ID was in great shape. I got fried by the sun (and altitude) on the way down and was quite happy to get to Camp Muir. Overall, a fun route under great conditions! | |

| other than having to dig into 45 degree slope to camp before the summit, it's pretty similar to Disappointment Cleaver route (except a bit more technical and a few more Ice Falls to cross under. | |

| Clintoris | Route Climbed: Gibraltar Ledges Date Climbed: 4/24-4/25 | |
| My first summit, my first attempt. Was hoping to get a winter summit, but due to fowl weather missed it by three days. Even so we were alone on the summit and had an amazing time. Looking to climb it again this summer. | |

| vertx | Route Climbed: Ingraham Glacier Direct Date Climbed: March 2005 | |
| The initial plan was for Gibralter Ledges. After spending 2 nights at camp Muir waiting out the weather, we decided to do Ingraham Glacier Direct. Thanks to a short break in the weather we were off to the summit on the third day. The route was very challenging and heavily crevassed, way more difficult than the last time I was on it. Although I wanted a different route under my belt and was disappointed to not be able to do the Ledges, the trip was enjoyable and successful. Just something to look forward to in the future. | |

| Ascending from Muir the moon was a eerie tint of red due to forrest fires in eastern Washington. Cheeseburgers at Copper Creek Inn on the way home never tasted so good. | |

| We submitted at sunrise after starlit climb. The weather was calm after a pretty gusty first day on the mountain. Awesome views. | |
