From the sound of it, neighboring Kaleetan (which I've done) though of the same rock and character has a much easier and safer summit gully. Would you agree? Glad you had a safe time. Great report, drama is always good. 10/10
Thank you for your vote and comment. Kaleetan is dramatically easier that Roosevelt via the gully. The footing on the last leg of Kaleetan is much better and there is less exposure provided you take the gully. Kaleetan I would do again; Roosevelt probably not.

Summit RegisterI noticed yesterday that you did not sign the mountaineers register up there. But obviously you made it to the summit. Any reason for that?

Re: Summit RegisterWe looked all around for the summit register and we could not find it that day.
