| beaudaddy85 | Cold Day Date Climbed: Dec 31, 2010 | |
| I took my buddy out for his first snowshoe trip. We made it to just below the highpoint on Skyline Ridge. The snow was steep and not consolidated on the final scramble. My buddy also didn't have an ice axe, so we turned around. Beautiful area amd it was a very cold day. It was a -8 degrees with the wind. I will be back to check out Sky and Tye. Great winter spot!!! | |

| fzte | Sky & Skyline Date Climbed: Nov 10, 2010 | |
| The skies were clear and sunny over Skyline Ridge. There was just enough snow to make the scramble a bit more challenging but exciting. Also tagged Sky Mountain along the same 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: | |

| Redwic | Too easy... Date Climbed: Sep 25, 2010 | |
| ... to waste on a nice Summer-like day. Would be a decent destination for Autumn months, with great views of nearby peaks. Due to the modest elevations and short hiking distances involved, EastKing, Zephyr, and I considered an ambitious (and rarely attempted) full traverse of the horseshoe-shaped ridgeline containing Skyline Ridge and nearby (and higher) Sky Mountain, rather than waste an entire trip on this one peak. We made it to Point 5447, then Skyline Ridge highpoint, then Sky Mountain. I had other plans in the late afternoon, stopping our trip short, but a return trip is likely to happen in the future so we can complete our ridge traverse. | |

| EastKing | Conbined with neighboring Sky Mountain Date Climbed: Sep 25, 2010 | |
| This Ridge was a grest boulder scramble and a lot of fun. Great views along this ridge and neighboring (and slightly taller) Sky Mountain. Pt. 5447 to the east also had great views. Hard to believe how few people know about this place. | |

| Cascade Scrambler | One last time... Date Climbed: Sep 27, 2009 | |
| With climbing partner R, who's working on his comfort level with scrambling, bouldering, and exposure. Probably won't be back this year, unless we get a huge dump of snow. (Yes, I'm a sucker for climbs in this region. Obviously!) | |

| Cascade Scrambler | In a blizzard Date Climbed: Dec 24, 2007 | |
| Climbed with my brother. 10 degrees at Stevens Pass over 1,000 feet below, sustained winds of 20+mph with gusts over 30mph, snowing and blowing so hard that your tracks were covered in a matter of seconds. Couldn't have had a better time! | |
