| Made it up to the 8400' saddle a few years previous and hiking buddy didn't want to go on. This time I claimed both Gardners like I knew I would. Met Brett and JB and climbed with them when they caught up with me at the basin in the morning. | |

| YEM | Shelokum Lake Date Climbed: Aug 27, 2010 | |
| I started with a trail head bivy at Cedar Creek, bushwhacked to the lake and finished the day with two summits. I used a rocky gully above the lake to avoid some of the scree. I hit camp just before I needed a lamp. It was about 3 and a half hours back to the car the next morning. Safe to say, it was much shorter than the Wolf Creek route and the basin around the lake was gorgeous. | |

| Redwic | A Great Weekend For Two Top 100 Peaks! Date Climbed: Jun 26, 2010 | |
| Gimpilator and I summited North Gardner Mountain, and then Gardner Mountain during the same outing. We briefly attempted the semi-popular "Gardner Traverse" connecting the two peaks, but the mixture of bad snow conditions and loose scree caused some concern. Instead, we descended from the saddle to ~7400' elevation, side-traversed east along Gardner Mountain's south slopes, and ascended via a central gully. It was a great weekend, with great views and a great mountaineering partner. With extra hiking included, we did nearly 30 miles of hiking with over 9000' of vertical gain in less than two days. For me, it was Washington County Highpoint #21 (out of 39). | |

| You know how you always forget at least one piece of gear? I forgot my sleeping bag. Two nights I slept wearing all my layers. Actually it wasn't that bad. Gardner and North Gardner were pretty good. My climbing partners good attitude and outlandish jokes made it a great trip. | |

| Route under deep snow, but was melting out fast, which resulted in a lot of post-holing on the way down. | |

| A fun climb, we camped just below treeline above the meadows to avoid bugs. | |

| We needed more snow and less running water. Nonetheless, we made the summit. | |

| Dennis Poulin | Route Climbed: Gardner Meadows Date Climbed: 17 June 2004 | |
| Great climb with a great partner, Dean. Perfect weather. It is a long, long, long hike back to the trailhead after climbing Gardner and North Gardner. | |

| Dean | Route Climbed: From Gardner Meadows Date Climbed: July 17, 2004 | |
| It was 85 degrees on the summit when fellow SP'er Dennis Poulin and myself summitted this bad boy. Why bad boy? This peak is not a walk in the park due to the distance from the TH and if you hit hot weather like we did, it made our effort somewhat grueling but yet what a magnificient viewpoint. (take plenty of water) The trail in is one long boring hike but we had a pleasant camp spot in Gardner Meadows. Saw no one else for the time we were there and the summit register indicated we were the 6th party this year but the surprising thing was that most years only two or three parties ascended No. Gardner. The cylindrical mountaineer register had a log book that dated back to 1984. It is buried deep in the summit cairn to protect it. So you'll have to look for it a bit. We ascended to the Gardner ridge where Gardner peak is and then had to work our way down to the No. Gardner ridge. Lots of nasty scree and gendarmes to work your way around. This consumed more time than I'd like to admit. Round trip: 28 miles in two days. | |

| Bob Bolton | Route Climbed: Southwest Date Climbed: July 2000 | |
| Duane and I successfully summitted both North Gardner and Gardner on a perfect day, with terrific weather and very clear air that afforded us views from Mt. Stuart to Mt. Shuksan, both northern volcanoes, the Ptarmigan Traverse peaks, much of the North Cascades National Park, and the nearby peaks within the Lake Chelan - Sawtooth Wilderness and the Pasayten Wilderness. An interesting highlight of this climb was that we were the first to sign the summit register in 2000, while the last person to sign it in 1999 was the county highpoint king himself, Bob Packard. | |
