| sprosseda | SE face Date Climbed: Aug 9, 2012 | |
| Instead of going up the Ruth glacier solo, I contoured below the glacier to E ridge, then to SE face and went up snow slopes to hit final crest 50 feet from summit. Fantastic panorama and mountain was not as challenging as I was expecting. | |

| ryanrockets | Great spring snow... in August! Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2011 | |
| Hauled the skis all the way up (on bike trailers from Bellingham) so my buddy could test out his new AT gear. It was worth it! I've never had that many soft, enjoyable turns in August before. Most parties were wearing crampons, judging from the ample boot paths up the ridgeline, and we saw some very large rope teams from below (Mazama groups) that must have crossed over to Icy. I think it was actually safer without mountaineering gear. Case in point: Bellingham Search & Rescue was out that morning to help a guy who punctured his own knee. I saw one tiny crevasse below Rest Rock that was easily avoided. My Australian Shepherd also really enjoyed this summit. Only downers: descending the valley with skis on packs, and all the views obscured by harmless clouds. | |

| geosean | What a beauty! Date Climbed: Oct 25, 2008 | |
| Whiteout beset us until we cramponed up at the small rock at the toe of the glacier. As soon as we set foot on the ice the clouds cleared and we were left with a beautiful day and a magnificent climb! | |

| geosean | Many crevasses this fall Date Climbed: Oct 6, 2009 | |
| Large crevasses crossing the whole route blocked my passage. See my trip report "Failed on Ruth" for details. | |

| Great little mountain for noobs. In clouds with poor visibility I took my 17 yr. old daughter to summit. It is a short glacier but many crevasses were open so bring a light rope if you want. On other times I have had great views of backside if Shuksan. | |

| metasyn11 | Ruth Glacier Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2008 | |
| Indeed a beautiful climb. Roped up on the glacier but probably didn't need to.. snow was firm and crevasses few and easily avoided. Ice axe and crampons were definitely useful. One of the best views I can recollect. | |
