| Gahugafuga | E Ridge  Date Climbed: Aug 26, 2008 | |
| Roach's description of the start of this route was a tad misleading - got to dance across some beaver dams when I missed the start of the trail. After that, I fought a minor muscle injury from my previous climb that made a rather simple climb exhausting. Still a great day of hiking on a gargantuan peak. 63/100. | |

| This was my fourth climb of Silverheels. This was by far the hardest of the four. We accessed from Hoosier Pass. There was a lot of up and down before getting to the mountain. It was a snowy windy day with some whiteouts at times. | |

| This was my first climb of Silverheels. I went up the easy west ridge after accessing from highway 9 south of Hoosier Pass. | |

| rough day on silverheels! gaining the summit wasn't too rough for winter. winds kicked up high on the mountain, yet that's expected. the return trip has tons of uphill and 40-45mph winds in whiteout conditions made travel, and seeing, quite challenging. memorable experience. jamie | |

| Climbed with folks from 14ers.com. What a slog! Third winter attempt, the winds blew hard as usual, but I was not to be denied this time. 3rd times the charm, whiteout conditions be damned!!! =) | |

| Fun solo day. Only ran into one other party on the way down, and they turned around when I got to them. | |

| Summited on a blustery day, with a group from 14ers.com. A nice outing, though not a mountain I'm going to return to climb anytime soon. Oh, and skis are worthless on this peak. | |

| slowbutsteady | up in the clouds Date Climbed: Sep 7, 2007 | |
| Camped at Beaver Creek crossing for an early start. Great weather until valley between point 12,282 and summit when clouds, mist, brought visibility down to maybe 25yds. I knew I needed to cross or pass by point 13,004, but never found it in the fog. My GPS read 13,300 so I knew I had only 500 feet to go. Because this was my first trip on this mountain, I was a little confused about exact summit location. Mist and clouds dissapated on the way down and the lay of the ridges and high points became clear. No summit register available. 9-7-07 | |

| Fantastic day. Other peaks (e.g. Quandary, North Star) were socked in with weather, but a hole in the clouds above Silverheels allowed sunlight to shine upon us. Relaxing lunch and sunbathe at summit. Climbing Partners: Maryann & Janet plus two strangers from New Mexico. No one else anywhere near the mountain. | |

| csmcgranahan | South Ridge solo Date Climbed: Jun 23, 2007 | |
| Was planning on starting at the standard trailhead to get the extra miles in but Beaver Creek was a little to deep for me to feel comfortable crossing in 35 degree temps at 6:00am. Took the jeep across the creek and up to the 4WD TH. Saw the huge Elk heard that is in the area several times on the ascent and descent - close to 100 animals with a lot of calves - a good sign! FYI - The entire South Ridge route is now clear of snow. | |

| By staying on the ridge top the entire day I was able to get plenty of altitude and stray away from the avalanche cornices on Hoosier Ridges south slopes. Great solo day. Conditions are great on Hoosier Ridge. Snowshoes needed to treeline. | |
