| Shane Rathbun | Stay right  Date Climbed: Nov 14, 2010 | |
| What AlpineAffinity said. Stay right when the chute V's off. At the huge chockstone, get on top of it and head right up the 5th class. Once on the 5th class face, trend left/up to find the summit block. At this 5th class, go right here like me or you will find yourself on the backside of the summit block with lots of exposure. Aaron ended up belaying me up a steep chimney after he reached the summit block me. | |

| skotty | 2nd attempt Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2010 | |
| Second attempt. First time we were sure we hit a dead-end off course at the top. Turns out it was just around the corner. | |

| SKI | Not that straightforward Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2010 | |
| Trend right for the most part while going up the chute or you'll be cool like us and end up on the NW ridge way early and have to downclimb back into the chute. Went under a giant chockstone near the summit and used the top of it to step over (right) onto a 5th class ledge/crack system that brought me to the top. Good luck on this fine (NOT) route. | |

| PellucidWombat | Twice and I still don't like this route Date Climbed: Sep 6, 2009 | |
| #1: October 1, 2005 - via Southwest Chute #1. Fresh snow and high winds made us turn back 200' below the summit. I really didn't like the loose grit on the granite slabs midway up the couloir combined with the fall potential there. Not my favorite of slog chutes to climb. b>#4: September 5-7, 2009 - via N Couloir with Jonathan Bye and Henry Steinberg. Bergschrund was a challenging brittle water ice on alpine ice climb, but a memorable lead. Took longer than expected due to the ice and my friends decided they didn't like the idea of sleeping on the ridge, so we bailed down the SW Chute #1 after finishing the route. Doh! | |

| Blackmouth | SW Chute # 1 Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2009 | |
| Used this to gain the summit block of Thunderbolt on our T-Bolt to Sill Traverse. With a group of 6 the rock fall was surprisingly minimal. We anticipated snow and ice, but were able to get up without the need of ice axe or crampons, even though we brought them. | |
