| BKW | South Gully Scree Bash  Date Climbed: Sep 29, 2012 | |
| We decided to bash out the South Gully Route to avoid the possibly nasty Silver Star Glacier. It was a nice direct route with beautiful views. Unfortunately, the upper route follows a seem of the most rotten, crappy rock on the mountain. Climbed with OneHikeaWeek, amoung others. | |

| ClimberCrabs | Maybe next time. Date Climbed: Jun 16, 2012 | |
| First attempt at Silver Star after eye balling it for years. We went up Burgandy Col without much trouble, steep but easy to follow. The clouds that had been lingering all day finally socked in the summit when we were heading up the glacier. Looked like it was going to get nasty and the hour was getting late so we bailed and headed back for brats and beers at the campground. I've been dreaming of this one too long not to come back, maybe next year. | |

| erickn8318u | Via Burgundy Col & then down Silver Star Creek route Date Climbed: Jun 21, 2011 | |
| My first real glacier-type excursion. Still tons of snow for the first day of summer. Awesome sunny day although when I started up Burgundy Col the sun hadn't hit the snow yet so it was ice...what a trek. Long day, but awesome. Worst sunburn of my life on my face and lips (found out that one application of sunscreen isn't enough in June on a glacier). | |

| A great trip in a very beautiful area. My partners K-Unit, MVP, and Montana made it one of the funnest trips I have ever done. | |

| Great day out. Some lingering deep snow up on the glacier made for some tough trail breaking. Amazing clear views from the summit | |

| This is an excellent route except for the main gully. We had beta on a better gully to the left (north), and managed to find the correct route on our descent. | |

| Park on highway and head up steep snow to col. Easy snow crossing. Had a skinny rope but didn't use it. Nice views. | |

| Climbed in one day. Route was easy to follow. I got snowed on for a few hours, there was trace amounts of fresh snow on the summit. No snow on glacier, crampons absolutely required. | |

| A fun climb, aside from the lack of running water and bugs. Thank you to those who came before me. The route was very easy to follow right from the road. I camped at the meadow below Burgundy Col after descending from Shuksan camp. I was glad to find snow 10 minutes away. Only the upper glacier rocks had running water. Quite airy on the highest bolder. Mmmm, granite. | |

| Climbed up from Silver Star Creek- Nobody else around, summitted in one long day. Glissaded down the glacier and was back at camp in no time. | |

| tought hike up the trail along the creek. very nice once we got up to the col. the weather was perfect at the col but clouds started to come in on the summit as we ascended the glacier, but we got up just in time to take in the view. Great climb. | ||

| Excellent climb! Not as much snow as expected from the car, but used crampons and ice axe later. Snow varied from firm to soft depending on sun and who knows. No rope needed. Only two other climbers up there this blue sky day. One day, 11 hours. Will do trip report with pictures later. | |

| leftfield | Route Climbed - Silver Star Glacier via Burgundy Col Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2006 | |
| Harder than i thought. Semi-steep pack-in then rocks/snow/rocks/snow until we hit the glacier. That was the easy part. Expected 3rd class scramble on the summit block but ended up on some low 5th class stuff. Was i off route? At any rate, you really get the wide-angle view of the north Cascades and that's worth it any day. | |
