| jeffrawn | Lavendar Col Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2007 | |
| Great follow-up to the SP Gathering in the San Juans. I enjoyed a second day with kilimanjaro1, vanny37, chicagotransplant and kane. I can see why Aaron says this is his favorite CO 14er. Beautiful mountain and fun climb, especially the snow and scramble at the top. | |

| vanny37 | Southwest Ridge Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2007 | |
| Climbed with chicagotransplant and Kane. Great ridge route. The main gully to the ridge had some soft snow that required a few harder moves than most likely would be required with the gully dry. Top portion of the climb is stellar. Descended standard route. | |

| chicagotransplant | SW Ridge ascent, standard route descent Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2007 | |
| SP Gathering "epilogue" peak. Kane, Vanny37 and I headed up the ridge while kilimanjaro1 and jeffrawn headed up the Lavender Col route. Still some snow and ice in gullies used to gain the ridge crest. 3rd class mud, wet rock, loose rock and a few 4th class moves will also be required until it fully melts out. The ridge crest itself is great though! Also still snow on the upper gully on the standard route (which we descended). | |

| kilimanjaro1 | Lavender Col and Snow Couloir Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2007 | |
| Did this one the day after the SP gathering. Beautiful weather and a nice fun climb. The upper couloir was still full of snow but was soft enough that we could easily kick step up the couloir. Best summit view I have ever seen. Just incredible! A great weekend in the San Juans. | |

| Scott Rogers | Fun Snow! Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2007 | |
| Awesome early morning snow climb for the whole way up. I wouldn't have climbed it any other way. The views were beautiful as well. | |

| rdmc | Lavender Col Date Climbed: Sep 10, 2006 | |
| Beautiful day for a hike, even though the snow clouds moved in on us about 2/3 up. We enjoyed the hike anyway. Peak was socked in when we got there, so didn't get to see the view, but hope to go back just for that. Sun was out and shining bright again, about 2/3 down. It's amazing how that works. :o) | |

| Flex | Snake Couloir May/01 | |
| Started from Yankee Boy Basin, nearly summited via the standard route, dropped down to the N Face and up the Snake Couloir for a great tour de Sneffles. A beautiful peak. | |

| boisedoc | my favorite Date Climbed: Jul 24, 1988 | |
| Remains my favorite 14ers. Spectacular to look at from the north. Yankee Boy has incredible flowers. The peak has some scrambling and great views into the San Juans | |

| ruthschlein | Mt Sneffels | |
| Nothin' like a little bluegrass fest in telluride and then some fun in the mountains. we did some scrambling up the ridge with mostly rock, and some snow, from blue lakes. It took longer to walk down the standard route, that way is thin slippery scree, and I think that the steeper way we came up would be better for the descent as well. great view of surrounding mountains from the top. | |

| Vagabond Manifesto | Exciting climb Date Climbed: Sep 24, 2005 | |
| Climbed with a friend via Lavender Col. Snow and ice in the couloir made this more difficult--the escape notch near the top of the gully was covered in ice. Lots of fun. Beautiful sunrise in Yankee Boy Basin. | |

| pjenson05 | Easy Standard Route Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2006 | |
| Easier than I thought. It was only tough through the initial gulley. 4 Hours round trip with a good break on the summit. We were in the clouds on top. | |
