| bc44caesar | North to South Traverse  | |
| This is one of the best alpine traverses anywhere. The hike out totally sucks though, particularly when it is raining! I would suggest just doing an out and back from Cascade Pass. Five days, climbed Formidable and Dome, both great! | |

| With Theron. We had an excellent trip, only a little rain on the last day. We climbed Formidable, Old Guard, Spire Point, Dome and Dynaflow Tower (a small but interesting crag). 6 wonderful days. | |

| August 1-6. Amazing traverse, mountains, flowers, animals and more. Bagged Old Guard, tried two others , next time more summits now that we have the traverse down. Route finding was a challenge at some cols, but got some help from others on route. Lots of snow on route this year, Kool Aid Lake entirely in snow. | |

| nlunstrum | A Classic Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2010 | |
| Started Jul 22, finished July 27. North to South. Two other parties (4 people total) going the same direction as us but we passed and stayed ahead of one party and the other party stayed ahead of us so the route didn't feel crowded at all. Rain, wind, and whiteout conditions to Kool-Aid Lk the first day, then sunny and perfect temps the rest of the trip. Camped two nights at White Rock Lakes. Very few bugs. | |

| Aaron Dyer | Too Crowded Date Climbed: Jul 25, 2009 | |
| Spent 5 days going north to south and climbed LeConte and Sentinel along the way. It was really hot and apparently the route has become the hip thing to do; there were 10 other people on it aside from my partner and I. | |

| mbollino | Absolute Classic | |
| Eight days of alpine bliss! Started with two poor weather days before things cleared. Red ledge was a jog. Gaining it would have been more difficult once the snow melted out. White Rocks is as close as it gets to mountain perfection! A layover day there, a quick run up Dome, a last camp on Itswoot, and we were out! I'll be back one day! | |

| willow | The lake tour is awesome too! Date Climbed: Aug 28, 2006 | |
| This is an awesome and amazing route through the Cascades. We had just perfect weather the whole 5 days it took us. We did the lake tour, no summits. | |

| The quintessential Cascades experience. Was weathered off of four summits, but managed to get one. I will go back and do this again. | ||
