| Gahugafuga | W Ridge via Tanners Date Climbed: Oct 30, 2008 | |
| After climbing Sunrise, I returned to the Tanners saddle and ascended the W Ridge route on Dromedary. The descent back down Tanners was every bit as awful as expected. Tanners plus snow and skis is good. Tanners minus snow is dangerous and horrendously tedious. But I did it anyway..... | |

| Climbed up Tanners Gulch and summited Dromedary, then traversed the ridge to the col and went up Sunrise. Sweet 3rd class climbing from the col, and an amazing uninterrupted 1500' glissade on corn snow for the descent! 6.5 hours round trip | |

| 5-16-09 Via Tanners, went on to complete Triple Traverse. 5-10-08 Climbed up Tanners with an SP group. Decided not to complete the Triple Traverse for various reasons, but the glissade down Tanners was stellar. | |

| vanman798 | Without Crampons! Date Climbed: May 27, 2011 | |
| May 27, 2011: Did the Triple Traverse with Joe B, and Matt V. The snow, even the avy debris, was very soft in Tanners, so the going was slow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ May 16, 2009 : Did this peak as part of the Triple Traverse with a group of seven from SP. We had prime conditions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ May 10 - 2008 : Went up Tanner's Gulch, hoping I might be "lucky" (or stupid) enough to do the triple traverse (Dromedary, O'Sullivans (aka Sunrise), and Broad Fork Twin Peaks without crampons. Once I summited Dromedary and had a look at O'Sullivans from there, a little voice told me to come back another day when I was prepared. It only took 2.5 hours to reach the peak, and the glissade down was fast as lightning. Given, that I had allotted the day to climbing, but was driving out of Little Cottonwood Canyon at 10:30 am, I decided to use the time to bag Mt. Olympus. | |

| marauders | Route Climbed: West Ridge Date Climbed: Aug 25, 2007 | |
| Hiked up Broads Fork and gained the saddle between Sunrise and Dromedary; then took the west ridge to the top. I had never explored this area before. It's beautiful with plenty of solitude. | |

| seanpeckham | Route Climbed: counter-clockwise loop from Broads Fork Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2007 | |
| Solo. I went to the saddle above Tanner's Gulch from Broads Fork, started up the gully on the south face and branched to the right straight up the face on more solid rock, with a short ridge scramble to the top from there. Picked my way halfway down the northeast face through the sloping and scree-littered ledge system, and found the steep gully on the north ridge. Meandered in and out of that as the drop-offs necessitated, to the shoulder and back down Broads Fork. Fun and strenuous, I can't wait to try it on snow. | |

| renogurt | Triple Traverse | |
| The first of the three on the route. Definitely the tightest ridge, excellent alpine climbing, only a 10 minute drive from my house. | |

| Moogie737 | Triple Traverse Date Climbed: May 16, 2009 | |
| The route to the saddle between Sunrise and Dromedary is, indeed, steep. Maintaining the north side of the chute helps to avoid the block at the very narrow notch. Although about the same climb re distance as the one to Twin Peaks, this one is definitely more challenging and strenuous. Brent W. and I made it up in 3+37. This is my 2nd time on the top, the previous one being on 8-3-03 from the Lake Blanche. #3 as part of Triple Traverse in June '07 and fourth time on 8-23-07 as part of Cottonwood Ridge to south end of Sundial ridge. Fun! 5th time at the summit was a part of the entire Cottonwood Ridge run with Dennis, Matt & Lana. The ridge run took 12 hours which included the east Twin Peak (from Broads Fork, then west to east to Alta). #6 on May 6, 2008 as part of the famous Triple Traverse. #7 as part of 2nd Cottonwood Ridge run on July 19, 2008. #8 Triple Traverse 5-16-09. #9 Tanner's Triple Traverse 5-7-10 w/ Joe Bullough; broke trail the entire route. #10 on 7-3-10 as part of 3rd Cottonwood Ridge run. W/ WMC. #11 7-17-12 W/ Brent via BF saddle, Sunrise, this one and eastward on ridge to Blanche Peak. Strong southerly winds. #12 8-11-12 Part of Cottonwood Ridge traverse with WMC members Brad & Sam. | |

| --June 28, 2007 Ferguson Canyon-->Mt. Superior, Cottonwood Ridge Traverse --August 22, 2006. East ridge from Lake Blanche. Continued east to Peak 10,910 with some interesting scrambling on the ridge. Goats spotted multiple times. Great day! --July 2002. Came from Twins and Sunrise...descended to Lake Blanche as lightning flashed and rain poured. An exciting end to an amazing day. | |

| Scott Wesemann | Dromedary Date Climbed: Oct 1, 1997 | |
| Did this with my friend Scott I believe in 97 and also did Sunrise/Twins. Did again 8/25/07 with Marauders. Had a perfect day and the peak and route all to ourselves. I should have left the trail runners at home though. | |

| mtn runr | Mt. Ladybug | |
| Numerous ascents. This is an interesting scramble no matter which way you approach it, East, West, North or South. Like many nearby peaks, this one is crawling with emerging Ladybird Beetles (ladybugs) in late spring. | |

| PellucidWombat | Route Climbed: Triple Traverse, Cottonwood Ridge Date Climbed: July 23rd, 2005 | |
| Joe Bullough and I bagged Mt Dromedary after climbing Storm Mtn, the BF Twins, and Sunrise Pk on our way to the Cottonwood Ridge, which turned out to be a day with 9,000 ft of elevation gain! | |

| mountaingazelle | Route Climbed: Broads Fork, Cottonwood Ridge Date Climbed: Oct 16, 2003, many other times | |
| I hiked from Broads Fork to the saddle between Dromedary and Sunrise. The view from the top is the best. You can see much of Little Cottonwood Canyon and down into Lake Blanche. Last time I was there we had to descend the ridge during a rain and lightning storm which was quite interesting. | |
