| Started 2010 season with a post-cancer goal of completing at least 10 ranked peaks of each elevation level (6ers through 14ers) and this was my final one. Windy, cold day but some great views of the Tenmile range from the summit. | |

| thunderable | Perfect Day on Silverheels Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2011 | |
| Eight of us went up the Beaver Creek TH route (South Ridge Classic). Crisp morning start, a bit breezy higher up, but overall excellent weather. Our route was about 10.5 mi/3670', so slightly different than the one Roach outlines. Note that the TH is at the jct of FS659 and FS183 (NatGeo TI map says 184, but sign says 183), though once right on the trail you'll see FS184 as well. At about 1.65 mi you'll go right up the old road and then go left on the trail that heads to views of Mt. Silverheels (make note of this jct for the return to the TH!). You don't have to climb Point 12,282, but can go around to the left and pick a route up the slope to the summit. There is a bit of a trail on the east side, but we headed mostly straight up (north) to the summit. | |

| Started at Beaver Creek, and forded the cold stream. Beautiful sunny day, with bluebird skies. Quite breezy. Great views. | |

| How was the overall route? Snowshoes needed? And how deep is the stream? Many thanks. | |

| Beautiful day and a great climb despite descending into Beaver creek twice. Snowshoes very helpful! | |

| A bit more bushwhacking to start out than I had expected. Took the 13ers.com West Ridge route. Hiked with James W up to about 12k - when he decided his broken toe wouldn't let him proceed. Saw one other guy coming down from the summit and a couple of guys on 4-wheelers. That's it. Beautiful day! | |

| CMC hike for C Classification. Easy and worthwhile hike. It was a little windy, and clouds started rolling in as we were descending, but it didn't rain on us. I hardly broke a sweat on this one. | |

| Niederbayer | Beaver Ridge Date Climbed: Jan 31, 2010 | |
| Beautiful day - hardly any wind and sunny - but very deep snow up Beaver Ridge - even with snow shoes I sometimes sank in up to my hips (and I barely weigh 130 lbs) - quite a workout to gain the ridge. Saw not one other soul the whole day | |

| Woodie Hopper | Scott Gulch Date Climbed: Nov 18, 2009 | |
| Great weather- no clouds all day, and surprisingly no wind on the summit. I postholed a bit depsite snowshoes. Quite a few bighorn sheep were on the summit ridge. Tip: start just to the north of Scott Gulch (cross over the highway bridge from the unmarked parking area). | |

| Hopefully one of my "usual suspect" companions will remind me what this was like. I just remember it was an enjoyable climb. | |

| Boring standard route, but hit Palmer Peak on the way back. Cloudy but mild, had the place all to myself (with my dog). | |

| After taking the wrong ridge and then floundering about in waist deep snow with Heather "Champ" Pore, finally achieved the summit. Then post-holed back. Go Special Idiots! | |

| I took the BR route up to the summit as the clouds built and managed to stay out of any precip until a couple sprinkles on the way out. | |
