| mow10 | NE Ridge  Date Climbed: Sep 30, 2006 | |
| A fun simul climb, had to make a point of keeping it 5th class but 20+ pieces of gear later we were on the top having protected the route and completed it without stopping! | |

| We were very surprised to find the route in full on winter conditions. The route was covered in snow and ice. We made it up about 3 pitches before time ran out as we were going for the car to car. | |

| Travis_ | Ulrichs Route in the Snow Date Climbed: Oct 7, 2006 | |
| Climbed via Ulrich's route w/ Bechtt and Mountain Impulse. Weather started off great, started snowing at the top of Cox Col. Starting comming down heavy by the time we reached the summit, quickly summited the summit block and headed back down in heavy snow. Very slippery. Great Trip! | |

| I'm sorry I put this off for so long, this is a fine peak. The NE Ridge is a truly fun scramble, with enough exposure and difficulty to keep your focus. | |

| Dave Daly | NE Ridge | |
| Debbi and I did a handful of peaks over the Labor Day weekend, which included NE Ridge. Loved the "stegasaurus" back and keeping close to the North Arete. Wild and sometimes exposed climbing. Great day! Had a rest day a few days later and watched 5 out of 7 parties get "thwarted" on North Arete. Amusing! | |

| Returned again to this classic scramble, this time as part of my knee rehab program. Barry, D.Rod, Stan, and myself enjoyed the route immensely, each taking a slightly different variation. Good (and scary) times were had by all. Hit Pyramid Peak on the way up and Pipsqueak Spire on the way down. | |

| Summited with Andre via Ulrich's route. Apart from the seemingly interminable boulder hopping, the climb above Cox Col was enjoyable with a little class 4 thrown in for good measure. | |

| My first multi-pitch Sierra climb. Thanks to Dara for the great lead. Found the route description from Supertopo very helpful. | |

| Climbed with SP member hashfxn; lots of loose rock lower down, very nice further along the upper pitches (if roped up). The descent can be tricky, so daylight is manditory unless the route is selected earlier. Quite a fun route to ascend. | ||

| dervin | North Arete Date Climbed: Jul 30, 2006 | |
| This was the largest, and most challenging alpine climb I have attempted. As a result of exposure, rain/hail, and slow climbing we bailed 100 feet from the summit, so we could make it back to the trail before dark. I'll return, someday, to finish this one off. | |

| What a mountain! Fun the whole way. Multiple parties on top including 2 teams doing North Arete, a solo doing the NE ridge, and myself. Met more climbers heading up on the way down so definitely a popular mountain. Pictures | |

| This was a good climb up to the very end, where things got a bit tricky. Trip report is here: http://www.summitpost.org/trip-report/206248/Bear-Creek-Spire-Northeast-Ridge-mostly-.html Still, a great summit and an incredible day! | |

| asmrz | North Arete of BCS in winter-Failed Attempt Date Climbed: Feb 2, 1991 | |
| Miguel Carmona and I skied from Tom's Place on Hwy 395 (Rock Creek Rd. is closed in winter) to Dade Lake in one day (23 miles) with winter overnight gear and full rack in February 1991 to attempt to climb the North Ridge of BCS in winter. At Dade Lake we were forced to take a day off to recover from the ski in and next day got up early to climb. Abandoned the climb on the 4th or 5th pitch, at the base of the three ribs as we both were unable to rewarm our hands and feet. It was unusually cold day, we climbed in leather mountain boots as we didn't think we could climb the arete in plastic boots. I'm not sure if this was ever attempted in winter since, does anyone know? | |

| I finally went back under clear but cold conditions to get the summit block. This was a very enjoyable climb, one that I'm sure I will repeat. | |

| Awesome day, great weather. A bit sketchy due to snow and ice, but well worth the hike. Trip report here. | |

| Beautiful positive rock but too cold and windy for my taste! Awesome views from aloft and we spied a dude soloing the Northeast Ridge, never saw him descend by Cox Col though....? Of course we didn't descend properly either but did make it back to camp in mostly one piece. | |
