| LuminousAphid | SE Ridge  Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2009 | |
| Funny, my experience on this mountain as far as crowds was completely opposite Redwic's; I saw no one past Squaw Lake that day and that made it a very nice secluded day. Great route though if you don't want anything technical, although there still is exposure to the left of the ridge near the gendarmes; I thought i would fall down the "dirty gully" described on more than one occasion due to the slippery/dusty surface | |

| Great weather, but it was blazen hot up there, perhaps it was the hottest day of the year. But going up was not too bad. It was a fun one. | |

| Redwic | Second Time Was A Charm! Date Climbed: Aug 28, 2010 | |
| Gimpilator, Bryan, and I attempted this peak at the end of September 2009. During that trip, I woke up sick and then we encountered a freak ice storm after some recent snow already packed on much of the route. Everyone turned around. This time, Gimpilator and I gave the peak a second attempt and were successful. The weather was great and the route conditions were perfect for the ascent/descent; snow-covered where we wanted and rocky where we wanted. We summited the West Summit, then the Middle Summit, and finally the East Summit. We were amazed how many people we met thought the East Summit was the true (highest) summit of Mount Daniel. The massive lake that formed from the melting of the Lynch Glacier north of the mountain is worth seeing! Great views from all of the summits, and this mountain is highly recommended. Mount Daniel brought my total number of Washington County Highpoints up to 33 (out of 39). | |
