| mmoerk | Route Climbed: North ridge from Redcloud Date Climbed: July 5, 2003 | |
| Climbed up Redcloud via the standard route, then traversed over the easy ridge to Sunshine. Beautiful day. To make things interesting, I descended to the west, and followed the northwest ridge over Sundog for my descent. Interesting route, and a good way to lose the crowds. | |

| A fun route up Sunshine, if you don't mind the steepness! My trip report is available here. | |

| Sunshine is in a beautiful setting. The hike from Redcloud is a lark but the views are different than Redcloud. A worthwhile hike! | |

| Sunshine was a mile and a half to the South of Redcloud and 500 vertical feet from the saddle to the peak. Reaching the summit was a piece of cake. After about ten minutes on the summit I was headed back to Redcloud and then back down to the trailhead. | |

| wayneaflick | Route Climbed: East Ridge Route from the Mill Creek Trailhead Date Climbed: July 3, 1997 | |
| I started up the creek to the north but soon realized I needed to get out of the canyon. I proceeded along the edge of the canyon until it turned west. I then climbed west up rocks to timberline. Upon reaching timberline I could see the entire route. I crossed the broad east ridge and ended up getting in trouble on the left side. I backtracked back to the ridge and proceeded up the center of the ridge and found an excellent trail that led to the summit. Comming down included a glissade down the summit ridge and a long walk back to the trailhead. Having gotten lost twice, I spent 14 hours on the trail. | |

| Ran over to Sunshine after summiting Redcloud. A fast and easy ridge to reach the summit of Sunshine. By running most of the ridge it only took me 45 minutes to get from Redcloud to Sunshine. Very easy day bagging both peaks. | |

| We returned via the South Fork Silver Creek trail and were glad because we would have gotten much wetter had we returned over Redcloud. | |

| Nice jog over from Redcloud although a fast moving storm with a lot of lightning kept me on my toes...dropped off saddle (west?) under some rocks for protection till it cleared, then back over Redcloud. | |
