| MRoyer4 | Wandering to the Summit Date Climbed: Mar 14, 2009 | |
| Flew out west to meet SPer Kevin Trieu before a planned trip to Peru later in the summer. Had the intention of doing North Pal via U Notch but extremely heavy winds caused plans to change. Ended up wandering up Gayley, not following any route, from the col. Some mixed climbing, some snow, some easy 5th class rock. Eventually made it to the summit in the afternoon. All in all a fun day and a nice consolation. | |

| seano | From Temple Crag Date Climbed: Aug 29, 2009 | |
| Only a few short 5th-class sections on the ridge, plus 4th class getting on and off the ridge to avoid obstacles. Still a bit slow -- about 2h20 from Temple. | |

| Did Apex and Sill first, since Gayley was so close, I climbed that also as a day hike.It was only a 45 minute round trip from Glacier notch. | ||

| We used this as an acclimitazation peak for our traverse of the Palisade Crest the next day. We climbed the ridge as directly as we could, it seemed like mostly 4th class to me. A great day and awesome views of the Palisades. | |

| We were planning on the Swiss Arete, but decided to bail at the Glacier Notch because the sky looked menacing (it actually turned out to be beautiful day!). We climbed Gayley as a "consolation prize" before we went back to camp. It's a really fun scramble. | |

| Mountain Impulse | Route Climbed: Southwest Ridge Direct. Date Climbed: July 21 and 22, 2006 | |
| Instead of the Yellow Brick Road, did the SW Ridge following along the very top of the ridge (the Yellow Brick Road travels generally below the top of the ridge on the right). This route includes a lot of fun 4th Class, with occassional short, low- Class 5 sections. You get a good number of chimneys and places to do mantling and stemming. The granite is tightly put together and feels wonderful. Did this route on consecutive days I liked it so much. | |

| Awesome view of the Palisade Cirque. Too much snow for us on the Swiss Arete, although another party climbed it successfully the same day. | |

| Mountain Impulse | Route Climbed: SW Ridge, the Yellow Brick Rd. Date Climbed: Sept. 18, 2005 | |
| Our approach was from the South Fork Trail of Big Pine Creek. We camped just a short distance from Contact Pass. Gayley was west of us. We went to the notch and then up the Yellow Brick Road. | |

| great climb on Mount Gayley, very easy up and down, but unfortunately turned out to be a horrible climbing trip because my buddy (patrickaz) was not up for climbing much anything else in the area after we made it back to camp that night. | |

| From the base of the N. coulour on Sill to summit took ~ 25 min. Excellant scrambling on solid cl. 3 rock. I highly recommend it to anyone passing over Glacier Notch. | |
