| Windy and COLD conditions stuck in the shadows on thenorthern aspect. Holding more snow up high than thought. Summit was a bit spicy with snow. Great scramble though! Comboed with Hagar. | |

| I was up there yesterday too, interesting, there is no Mt. Hagar page on summitpost, thinking about building one. | |

| Went with Natalie from Herman Gulch (basically Cooper's route). Came prepared for the traverse to Pettingell. But with just 3.5 hours sleep after doing Vermilion, Golden Horn, and Fuller the previous day, I just wanted to get home. We'll do the traverse another time. | |

| Boriss Andean | From Herman Gulch Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2012 | |
| Took a steep gully, that wasn't the standard route. Very enjoyable even though the rocks were very loose. Got to the Eastern summit and then down climbed to the saddle between both summits. Summited the West summit as well. | |

| Sarah Simon | East Ridge via Herman Gulch Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2012 | |
| The wildflowers in this basin were just going BONKERS! Beautiful! Had a fine adventure wondering in the area between Herman Lake and the East Ridge wondering WhereTF are we going? but knowing we would get there. Ascended the wrong drainage, which was a bunch of loose, steep junk and nothing, I mean NOTHING was attached to that mountain. Summited the east peak, then downclimbed to the notch to climb the west peak. Beautiful day! | |

| Nice counterclockwise loop. Started with Citadel, traversed to Hagar, Golden Bear, Mount Trelease, then bushwhacked straight back down to the parking area for Dry Gulch. | |

| Started at Dry Gulch but got lightning @ the Bethel saddle. Waited for a break to dash up the E summit via the std route, but descended Cooper's route...waaay better! I'll come back for Pettingell | |

| Beautiful mountain. Climbed with my friend and dogs Raymond and Sopris. Made it off the mountain just as the storms moved in. The Citadel has got to be the nicest mountain in this region of the Front Range. | |

| With Bethel from Dry Gulch, was holding snow in the couloir but was soft enough and had old kick steps, no crampons were needed. Short and quick outing, a great half day spring climb! | |

| I climbed "The Citadel" with slowpoke before traversing over to Pettingell. It was a long, but very fun day of scrambling and ridge running. I’ve pondered Someday repeating the traverse, starting with Mt. Bethel. It might be fun to ring Herman Gulch as completely as possible. | |

| Well, I guess I need to repost this since Aaron was nice enough to delete all this stuff when he threw his fit. Climbed this with a friend of my brother after Hagar (apparently another Aaron hissyfit deletion) and Trelease. Was a really fun day with some fun scrambling. Blue sky, no clouds all day. Sucked wind as I am not from the area or elevation. Hit both summits just to be sure. Thanks, Aaron - now I will never know what I originally put in the log or what I was thinking at that time. Good luck with the rewrite Gareth. | |
