| Matt Lemke | South Face Date Climbed: Apr 23, 2013 | |
| This felt more like a mixed climb...there was snow covering all the ledges and at one point having a picket would have been nice to mitigate the huge runouts. I didn't really need much pro though...the climb was pretty straightforward. Two pitches of climbing (with 70m rope) led us to the summit. 4 raps took us down (we rapped the snow gully heading down Pineapple Pass which involved jumping off a cornice on rappel!) There was a huge recent slab avalanche than ran down on Source Lake which was cool to see on the hike in. The slide was 10 feet thick at the base! Gorgeous weather and firm snow in the morning. Approach took less than 2 hours | |

| jacobsmith | Another Day Date Climbed: Dec 15, 2012 | |
| Headed up to The Tooth hoping to beat the weather and climb the south face in mixed conditions. Had trouble getting to the base of the gendarme (cornice fell on me) and then decided to go up and over the damn thing instead of around the back, which led to the coldest belay ever as the weather moved in. worried about rapidly deteriorating weather and avalanche conditions we bailed, but fully intend to return in January or February. | |

| swanny17 | First Alpine Route Date Climbed: Jun 10, 2009 | |
| Climbed the Tooth as my first alpine trad route in June 2009. Conditions were sunny as can be with snow the whole way on the approach. The best advice i can provide for this route is to rappel ASAP or you will be sitting on top for a long time. Fun first time route and easy climbing. | |

| Krylon | 2006 (Winter) Date Climbed: Dec 30, 2006 | |
| Despite being cold and dark, the approach felt strong and the climbing went well. But between having to brush snow off of every hold and being a few days past the shortest day of the yrear, we ran out of time before the last pitch and bailed. | |

| Krylon | 2004 Date Climbed: Oct 1, 2004 | |
| I remember that Mt St Helens was having some steam eruptions that week, but despite being a clear day it was too far to see anything. | |

| ExcitableBoy | Multiple routes | |
| South Face, West Face, East Face (winter), NE Slab (winter). Loved to speed solo the South Face. PR of 2:15 car to car, considerably slower than the standing record of 1:58. | |

| juneauhiker | South Face | |
| Certainly a fun route but there were six other parties on the route and coming from AK I'd never experienced anything like that before. | |

| TimmyC | Beautiful day Date Climbed: Jul 9, 2010 | |
| The third sunny and hot day in a row for the Seattle area made sense for a run out of town for some cool alpine climbing. Only one party of two ahead of us, and one party of two behind us. A free soloist came up in between the us and the party ahead, jammed up, jammed down and was on his way. Great views from the top. The way out was slippery and sloppy from all the sunshine, but still a lot of fun. | |
