| seabadge | First snow lead  Date Climbed: Dec 30, 2012 | |
| After multiple days of warm sun, blue bird skies and christmas breakers tearing up the Skyline area, this hike was a bit of a struggle through soft snow. But, I made it to the summit, and the views were spectacular! However, not quite as good the neighboring Tye Peak, which I completed with Redwic 2 days prior :) | |

| fzte | A bit challenging... Date Climbed: Nov 10, 2010 | |
| to work our way down from the highpoint on Skyline Ridge but the way up Sky Mountain was pretty straightforward (but wooded). Also, the snow made it easier to cross the talus field below the ridge. | |

| gimpilator | Skyline and Sky Date Climbed: Nov 10, 2010 | |
| Bryan, Skylar and I did Skyline Ridge and Sky Mountain. The fresh snow made the talus and scramble on Skyline more difficult. Returning from Sky Mountain I fell on some slushy snow covering mossy rocks and landed badly on my arm. I felt and heard things happen inside my shoulder. After it happened I quickly lost the use of my left arm. Time will tell how bad the injury is. A film by Bryan: | |

| This was done as a winter snowshoe. Nice clear day and it was a good time. There were certainly some steep tricky bits and we took a different way down on the return. Lots of people travel up to the lake and then the blocky ridgeline above but after that the crowds had thinned out. | |

| Redwic | More Effort Than We Anticipated Date Climbed: Sep 25, 2010 | |
| Don't be fooled by the topography shown on maps. There are steeper slopes and more obstacles (such as many trees and boulders) encountered than one might initially anticipate just looking at a map. However, the mountain is definitely non-technical to summit if on-route, and has great views of the surrounding areas. | |
