| I loved this route! Easy climbing with stunning scenery, in fact the best scenery I've experienced in this range so far. I really liked the canoe aspect as well, I nice twist to the typically approach slog on post peaks. | |

| Free-soloed the CMC face in 3 hours from camp at a casual pace. This route would be a reasonable 10-12 hours car-to-car from String Lake, though the CMC camp is exceptional. The approach is beautiful and the route splendid. | |

| Did the approach via hike...didn't know where to get a canoe. It was a jungle death-march. Reached the summit on the following day before the weather turned. Beaten by hail on the return to camp. Big lesson learned: always get the canoe! | |

| At the time, first scary solo ascent on snow. Canoeing in a whiteout on lake jackson, bumping into a moose, tumbling in scree, and then suprised to be at the top. | |

| One of the funnest climbs I've ever completed. The face looked so intimidating, but it was nothing but fun! | |

| Did this one with that speedy kid below me. Hundreds of feet of easy fifth-class rock... my favorite. The plod up wasn't delightful but the incredible weather, great views, and superb climbing made this one of the best climbs at that grade that I've been on. | |

| Climbed the CMC route from a camp at Leigh Lake. Met some guided parties and one other group en route. Climbed the route in 2 long simul pitches (first one 200-250m, second one maybe 250-350m) to the summit. A bit of snow on the face, but perfect conditions overall. Around 14.5 hours on the move, and by the time we descended 6000 vertical feet back to our camp at the lake we didn't have the energy to canoe back. One of the best routes I've done. | |

| Awesome campsite. Climbed with 2 other parties. My partner Matt did his first ever rock lead. Drizzlepuss was definitely fun on the way down the mountain. Matt dropped his ATC twice! The first was just as we got out on the CMC face and it stopped bouncing within a rope's length stopping just shy of the Hanging Glacier. The second was in the notch between Drizzlepuss and the CMC face and it bounced down right toward me so I was able to grab it. | |

| Great climb!!! Simul-climbed the face in three huge pitches. Easy downclimb to rappel anchors. 21 hours of effort round trip in two days. Summit Panorama video Drizzlepuss Summit Video at sunrise | |

| Tom Fralich | CMC Route (solo) Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2007 | |
| Did the canoe across String and Leigh Lakes and hiked up to CMC camp with Mary on August 6. We got hailed on in the Falling Ice Glacier drainage, but made it to camp pretty easily and had the place to ourselves. I started for the summit at 6AM while Mary waited in camp, wanting no more of the Teton talus and scree. The downclimbing from Drizzlepuss was steep, but once I was on the face, I made good progress, reaching the summit at 9AM. The descent was a bit tedious and I made 3 rappels from fixed anchors. Back to camp at 12:45PM and then down to the canoe and back to the Climber's Ranch at 6:30PM. Nice climb, alone on a huge mountain. | |

| We climbed the Blackfin route and the Direct S. Butress. The Direct is a classic, indeed. | |

| Incredible two days of weather on a remote and committing route made this a truly memorable experience. The rock goes on and on and on and on.....you get the idea. One of the top routes I've done, and an incredible experience. | |

| Rasgoat...If you could do it in 6 hrs you could join better parties on the DSB route. Dirks always wanted to do it... pull hard | |

| b. | Direct South Buttress to the Summit! Date Climbed: Jul 6, 2007 | |
| We climbed the DSB rock route in just over 6 hours, then it took another 6 hours to hit the bivy site at the base of the upper ridge. After a warm open bivy on the ledge, we set out simul-climbing and summited at about 2:30. Back at camp under the route at 9:30 that night. 40 hours round-trip! Finished off with a dip in String Lake with the throngs of people escaping the heat. We never saw another person on the mountain. Sublime experience. | |

| rasgoat | Yeaaahhhh! Date Climbed: Jul 5, 2007 | |
| What an astounding mountain! Better than I expected, the features of the mountain just got better as we climbed! We did CMC route. My only complaint is that the technical pitches were short and there was not alot of sustained climbing, although the face looks steep, there is alot of exposed class four. We saw nobody the entire three days. None the less, this mountain ROCKS! I loved every minute and Moran does not let down. | |
