| SJ | Sweet 14er  Date Climbed: Jul 19, 2009 | |
| Gave up on the original goal of St. Jean Gully when we saw the debris field of rocks that had shot out of it. Changed plans to the North Slope and we weren't disappointed. Climbed a 35-40 degree snow hill for about 750' to gain the north slope, little more than a class 2 like the route description states, but had an axe and crampons so it was no problem. Great view on top, thunder storms had us running off the ridge in the early afternoon. | |

| I didn't care too much for the section of the hike below Red Lake, hot and brushy. After that, it was fun. | |

| This route takes a bit of work and patience with lose rock on the section that is said to be class 3. Going up high all the way to the nadir of the Split-Prater saddle before traversing left to the class 3 notch takes a lot less effort than taking a direct line through lose rock to the notch. | |

| An awesome summer climb over two days. A warm up on Tinemaha, where AMS stopped me and thunderclaps stopped the others a meager few hundred feet short of the peak. A night to acclimate at Red Lake, one of the prettiest campsites ever (the established sites have windbreaks around them). A morning trip to Split via the standard dry season gap. A long hot slog back to a jeep with icy cold beer and watermelon, yes. | |

| Sam Page | Windy slog Date Climbed: Jun 1, 2002 | |
| We took two days for the climb. We camped above the lake (mistake) and suffered an incredibly windy night in bivy sacks. We then cramponed up exhilaratingly steep snow (left of the normal route) to gain the north slope. I got somewhat lost on the descent and was later forced to ford a raging torrent. It was a strenuous two days. | |
