| Climbed with Rob Yang, Steve Larson and Sean Robbins. Perfect weather, maybe a little too hot, but otherwise great. Nice, scenic route, we didn't encounter any technical difficulties. We set a good pace and summited just after 9:30 am. Great company and very enjoyable climb. | ||

| Climbed with SP-er hashfxn. Done in basically one day, with 2 hours of sleep at 9500. Snow conditions were marvelous. Absolutely perfect on ascent. Beware of rockfall; started this day at around 9am. Some large as washing machines off of Casaval, some spinning frisbees down AG. Glissading started to get good only around 10am; before that the snow was too icy. Perfect weather and awesome snow, and we both summitted=very nice weekend. | ||

| We, my oldest brother and I, started from Lake Helen at 2:30am, hit the summit at sunrise (about 3 hrs), and back to Lake Helen before the sun hit the tents. It was wonderful. | |

| Did the Whitney Glacier with Rob Yang, Kris, and Sean Robbins. Great weather (though it could have been a bit colder--the snow was on the soft side lower down). A very cool and scenic route. Very out of the way. We didn't see anyone until we popped out on the summit plateau. What a zoo! | |

| mad maximus | Precip-i-tation Date Climbed: May 19, 2006 | |
| No summit. I arrived on the 18th just as a LP system moved in and blanketed the mountain. I spent the entire time on the mountain in rain, snow, sleet and even hail. Some suffering was done but I will be back. | |

| thebeave7 | Avy Gulch on Ski Date Climbed: Jun 10, 2006 | |
| After nixing W Face solo in the dark, I headed up Avy Gulch on my skis at 330a on Friday. After reports of epic corn on Thur I couldn't say no. I was able to skin all the way to 11500ft before the pitch and hard snow made it a little dicy. Threw on the crampons from there to Thumb rock. I dropped the skis at Thumb rock for the final climb to the summit. It kicked my butt to put it simply, summiting at 1p along side a few other skiers. On the hump down Misery Hill I wish I had my skis, as the corn was already forming and softening. When I got back to the Thumb at 2p the bowl was in perfect form. Amazing corn from the Thumb to 9K, where it started getting slushy, was able to ski all the way to Bunny Flat in 50min from the Thumb. Awesome Mt, especially in spring conditions on skis. There were a few old wet slides coming off the upper portions of Casaval, then a few new ones on the lower portion of Sargents. | |

| We attempted Green Butte, but were turned back do to a mix of exaustion, no ropes, and bad weather on the summit. | |
