| AriehDavid | tried 9 times, summited 5 Date Climbed: Jul 1, 2008 | |
| Soloed the Hotlum-Bolam Ridge 4th of July weekend, 2008. Climbed to the top five times: twice view Hotlum-Bolam, once via Hotlum Glacier, once via Clear Creek Route, and once, at age 9, via Avy Gulch. A great mountain to introduce one's self to the world of mountaineering. | |

| Bikclmb | Fantastic! Avalanche Gulch Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2010 | |
| Covered in snow from the bottom, great for climbing in the morning, glissading down. Not a cloud in the sky the whole time! | |

| CastillejaMiniata | Minimal snow climbing. Date Climbed: Sep 14, 2010 | |
| There was snow about 1-2 thousand feet below the Red Banks, through the Red Banks, and then above them it was completely dry. Beautiful, frigid morning summit. | |

| OOG | Avy gulch | |
| Wanted to do this for most of my life. Finally got around to it last June. Stayed at horse camp and summited the next day. I ended up buying an annual pass because I didn't think I would summit the first time. Not wanting to waste it I came back the first week the old ski bowl opened up and climbed in 1 day. I'll definitely climb this one again by different routes. | |

| LadyWawa | Red Banks weeee Date Climbed: Sep 15, 2010 | |
| I went up the Avalanche Gulch route. People scared me about the Red Banks but there was nothing to worry about at all there. I think the most challenging part was the long haul before the Banks. It looked like my group was the only group to make it on the morning we went. Lots of people turned back before the Banks (as we saw on our way down). OK glissade on the way down but a little too steep for me on or below the RBs- I walked down a bit first. :) | |

| ExcitableBoy | Casaval Ridge Date Climbed: May 31, 2009 | |
| Climbed the Casaval Ridge. Originally planned on bringing skis for the descent, but didn't. I regretted the decision as the West Face looked to be a great ski run. | |

| iquest4it | Shasta Summit Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2010 | |
| A climbing partner and I led a blind friend of mine up one of the harder (Hotlum-Wintun Ridge)routes and he did great. He had only climbed Mt. St. Helens before, so it was huge a accomplishment, even for a sighted person. It was for us too. | |

| All of my hard work and training paid off. Only 2 out of a group of 6 made it to the top. A lot of snow and ice this year. Great experience! | |

| Shane Rathbun | Hotlum-Wintun Ridge Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2010 | |
| Traversed to the ridge from the other side of the mountain from our camp out of Northgate. Summited and decided via the Bolam and back down the Hotlam-Bolam Ridge. | |

| Straightforward climb, up the main Red Banks chimney. Still lots of snow left for this time of year. We didn't witness any rockfall. Windy and cold at Misery Hill. Awesome glissade back to Helen! | |

| Shon | good times Date Climbed: Jul 18, 2010 | |
| I climbed up Avy Gulch. I did it solo but I didn't feel like I was alone :) I had an awesome time snow was nice and hard but I did start at 1:00 a.m. Good times in the dark!!! I didn't think the altitude would bug me to much but I started to hurt around 12000. It was a long day on the mountain I think I was on the mountain 15 hrs. | |

| bivied at 10,850 saturday night, climbed to the summit in just under five hours. No running water; had to melt old snow. Had the north side, maybe the entire mountain, all to ourselves this weekend aesthetic route -- looking forward to climbing this again in summer | |
