| vertx | Route Climbed: Colchuck Glacier Date Climbed: May 2004  | |
| Climbed solo. Snow was in terrible condition due to warm weather and recent rain. Post hole city. I had the mix of weather, rain, snow and sun. Fun climb. | |

| Martin Cash | Route Climbed: Northwest Route after traverse from Argonaut Date Climbed: May 2, 2004 | |
| After summiting Argonaut, then downclimbing the East Gully, we traversed the basin just below the ridgeline connecting the 2 peaks. We found a moderate snow couloir to gain the boulder fields and lower angle terrain of the northwest route. The couloir was short but fun, about 45 degrees at the top. The summit block was nice, with excellent views of the route we did on Argonaut, and the beautiful Mount Stuart. We downclimbed some steep mushy snow to reach the Colchuck Glacier, then glissaded the 2,500 feet down to the lake (great fun). The hike out was tiring, on a 14.5 hour car to car day. | |

| Fred Spicker | Route Climbed: N Buttress & N Buttress Couloir Date Climbed: 16 July 1977 & 11 July 1982 | |
| Climbed in 1977 with Monica Spicker and in 1982 with Paul Bishop. On both climbs, we stayed on the crest of the upper buttress as much as possible, making the climb very pleasant easy 5th class rather than dealing with the loose looking 3rd and 4th class terrain further west. Descent on both climbs via Colchuck Glacier. | |
