| altitude14er | West Ridge via Mayflower Gulch Trailhead Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2005 | |
| We climbed the West Ridge quickly on this superb summer morning. The Class 3 scrambling on this peak is fairly easy yet this route should be given respect. If you got offtrack on the ridge the difficulty of climbing could get a lot harder. Don't expect to find any cairns to lead the way. The ridge shows no sign of man. | |

| mconnell | Route Climbed: NE Slopes via Spruce Creek Date Climbed: August 17, 2005 | |
| Nice hike and snow climb. Summit was windy with a bit of graupel. Headed to Atlantic and then down McCullough Gulch, across Wheeler trail to the car. | ||

| Asphazell | Route Climbed: West Ridge (Class III) Date Climbed: 07/02/05 | |
| After taking the wrong route last year which lead to getting cliffed out and then weathered out when we got back on course, this was a very sweet summit! Fun route, mostly class II in my opinon, minimal exposure and moderate route-finding. Climbed with member altitude14er. | |

| RyanS | Route Climbed: Traverse from Crystal Date Climbed: July 4, 2005 | |
| Climbed Pacific as part of a long loop including Helen, Father Dyer, Crystal & Atlantic. Loved the scramble from Helen to Father Dyer! We finished with a traverse back east along Pacific's east ridge. | |

| umbra alta | Route Climbed: North Face Couloir Date Climbed: ~June 1 2005 | |
| Climbed this with 'peakguru'. Nearly perfect kick snow on this ascent. Steepness was sustained at 60 degrees. Encountered a little water ice-about eight feet-maybe halfway up. There was still a cornice on the short couloir leading to the north ridge above the apron, as well as slide debris on the apron-including a snow/ice boulder the size of a car. We began with running belays but switched to simul-solo for speed after a bowling ball came down ten meters to the right of us. Exit of the couloir was snow-no cornice. Our six a.m. start from the Spruce Creek trailhead was too late, four a.m. would have been better. | |

| virginiapine | Route Climbed: Entire E. Ridge from McCullough Gulch Date Climbed: mid-July, 1992 | |
| An interesting outing, before the days of guidebooks to the area (other than Quandary). Parked in McCullough Gulch and wandered up the hillside, past the entrance to an abandoned mine, to where the high crest of the rocky E. Ridge begins. This is a long, bumpy ridge which deposits you on the tundra near Pacific Tarn. I reversed the route on descent. | |

| A very nice route, with a bit of everything: Trail approach, bushwhack through willows, a scree slope to reach the ridge and then a beatiful ridge on mostly solid rock. We climbed and descended the same route. | |

| Brad Snider | Route Climbed: Crystal-Pacific-Atlantic Date Climbed: November 15, 2004 | |
| This peak was definitely the hardest of the 3 (Crystal, Pacific, Atlantic), and most impressive! Lots of fun but wrestling with all the snow and ice tired me out. | |

| miztflip | Route Climbed: McCullough Gulch from Highway 9 Date Climbed: October 23, 2004 | |
| Decided to hike from the highway for a longer outing with friend. The new snow made the traveling a bit slower and left the headwall ice covered with 5 inches of new snow. First climbed Atlantic then Pacific. Had the whole are to ourselves and found looking down the North face to be awesome. | |

| Still a fair amount of snow in the valleys, but a nice hike. Great view of Quandry from the entire ridgeline. | ||

| Great hike! The ridge isn't nearly as steep as it looks in the pictures. | |

| CharlesD | Route Climbed: North Ridge, descent south to Atlantic Date Climbed: May 22, 2004 | |
| Spectacular! Not a soul anywhere in the Mayflower Gulch area (at least at 6am). Good, hard snow let me ascend directly to the north ridge from the west side and made the summit by 10am. Thanks to Aaron Johnson's beta, I had no trouble finding the route. Continued on to Atlantic. Warming temps and steady sun started to make the snow mushy and I postholed quite a bit on the descent. Great trip! Trip report and photos here. | |

| The 3rd class west ridge looks much more rugged than it actually is. The routefinding is enjoyable on the lower half, but watch out for loose rock. The upper half is more stable but has some ridiculous exposure. Enjoy one of the best 3rd class routes in the Tenmile Range | |
