| RomaK | The Corkscrew in a day Date Climbed: Jul 25, 2009 | |
| Great day out. It rained on and off on the ascent but cleared up and stayed nice while we were on the glacier. On the way up, we didn't take the high traverse on the glacier and had to cross a couple snow bridges, including a very thin one over a large crevasse. Took a high traverse on the way back, which was very straightforward. Also, we were able to cross all the rivers without wading at this time. The trail traversing the summit block was gorgeous! Car to car in 11.5 hours. | |

| Climbed with dory to the start of the technical section then went on solo, poor visibility and sketchy free soloing turned me around a few hundred feet from the top. | |

| Awesome route. Doable in a day but nice to bivy up near the entry point onto the glacier. | |

| It was a georgeous summer weekend, and we had the mountain to ourselves -- couldn't believe it. This route is a memorable one because of the variety, the great location, and the changing vista as you work your way up the Corkscrew. | |

| The quintessential Cascades climb. A water crossing, old growth, scree, glacier, third class rock, and a lot of elevation gain for some great views. A classic. Car to car in 14 hours. | ||

| Fun route, definite classic IMO. Fun to cross the river, and gentle trail yet overgrown to the avy debris and bugs and then the awesome lower basins. Did the lower traverse of the glacier on a 4 person rope team. Jessica fell in a couple of feet on a snow bridge and got her pretty freaked (First Glacier Climb). Easy trail leads to the summit with a few 3 rd class moves, the rest is scree and sand on ledges. | |

| Due to cloudy and windy conditions we decided to go to the edge of Sloan glacier just to see if a summit attempt was possible. After some delibaration, taking bearings and hoping for improvement in the weather we decided to go. We skirted around crevasses and traversed top of of a large crevasse and rock cliff right under the summit block (we used 3 pickets on this section). The trail on the summit block is mostly snow free except one section, so keep your ice axes with you for traversing it. Making use of the solid rock at the top we summited at 6pm. The summit of Glacier Peak was peaking on and off through the thick layer of clouds. | |

| Phil Fortier and I made a day trip to the mountain, intending to climb the North Ridge. But it looked like steep, loose brown dirt, so we opted for the classic Corkscrew Route. This was a fun day! The hike out was looong. | |
