| voxnihili | Finally  Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2012 | |
| I had been thinking about this route for a couple years now, every time I went up Twin Peaks. I finally made the traverse on a gorgeous day. Kept going across the ridge and dropped down above Lake Blanche. | |

| x4wheeling | Epic (in a good way) Date Climbed: May 8, 2010 | |
| Probably the most fun spring climb I've ever done. Started up Tanners @6am with crampon and trekking poles, swapped to ice axes near Dromedary all the way thru BF Twins then after a long glissade from the BF saddle snowshoed till the snow disappeared. Gorgeous views/weather. 9hrs start to finish. Trip planned by Matt Van Horn (thanks Matt) | |

| renogurt | Couple years back now Date Climbed: Mar 12, 2006 | |
| We went up on a Monday, got rejected, then saw that some people summitted Wednesday. So Thursday night, me and Scotteech decided to give it a go. Left the car at 3 AM, traversed the tripleness, and hitchhiked from Mill B back up LCC. | |

| jareds | BRUTAL Date Climbed: Jul 24, 2008 | |
| oh man. i made it. barely. up broad's fork, up to the saddle, up to twin peaks, then back to the saddle and around the back of sunrise and to the summit. that's where it began to get nasty. from sunrise to dromedary I had to downclimb some scary nasty cliffs, i was alone which was not smart. then up dromedary, and then off the southern-east side of dromedary i hit some cliff bands again and found myself sketchily downclimbing again. overall took me about 16 hours. | |

| apachedino | Slides Date Climbed: May 10, 2008 | |
| Great day, Grizz's small slide led us to take safer, but definitly much longer and more arduous route around Jepson's Folley. Tons of huge relatively recent wet slides on the way down boads | |

| Matthew Van Horn | sun & snow Date Climbed: May 10, 2008 | |
| A big day. Completed the TT with mtnrunr, Joe, Dustin (Apachedino) and some other friends of mtnrunr (Grizz). Grizz took a sketchy slide off the Jepsen's west buttress and was able to self-arrest. Could have been bad. | |

| Moogie737 | Traditional route up Tanners Gulch and down Broads Fork Date Climbed: May 7, 2010 | |
| What a day! Five started, four finished. Twelve hours of climbing, cramponing, postholing, kick-stepping, sunblock slathering and snowshoeing. Worth every hour. This was my second time doing this route (May 2007 the first) and with the deep snow pack and the warm conditions, this time was more difficult. Thanks to Lana, Dave, Robert & Alex for the tremendous moral support. #3 May 2009 W/ Dave & Christine #4 5-7-10 w/ Joe Bullough - heavy new snow from a week earlier left us with mucho trailbreaking on corniced-ridges. The exit on the East Twin Peak north ridge was quite the hairy thing. :) | |

| seanpeckham | Walt's '08 trip from Tanners Gulch Date Climbed: May 4, 2008 | |
| I broke my sunglasses and dropped my lens cap down Tanners Gulch; retrieving that and hacking up a way to keep from frying my eyes put me behind, when I was already one of the slower members of this very strong group, so I opted to skip Dromedary after getting above the cliff onto the ridge. So for me it was a Double Traverse. After that I made it to the west Twin and down. My first taste of "real" mountaineering, I bit off almost more than I could chew, but it was very rewarding. | |

| Steve Elmer | Triple Traverse Date Climbed: Jul 1, 2007 | |
| First major hike in the Wasatch. My goal was to just do Twin Peaks but I tagged along with two hikers I met on the trail (Mark and John) and made it over Sunrise and Dromedary. Hot but and awesome day. | |

| Matthew Van Horn | Triple action formula Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2006 | |
| Justin ("Gutloaf") & I had a successful day. We went up to Robinson ridge from the meadow in Broads Fork. From there it was up to the Twins, down to the saddle, up to unnamed and then Sunrise and so on. We chose to head down to Lake Blanche and we got bogged down and cliffed out as we headed North East instead of East toward the lakes. We descended a minor ridge extending from the lower slopes of Dromedary and made our way through the cliffs. | |

| J Anderson | I was there too! Date Climbed: Sep 9, 2006 | |
| Getting up there was easy, getting down another story. I ascended with Asher (Matt) via the Robinson Variation and we dropped down into the Lake Blanche drainage. | |

| mountaingazelle | Triple Traverse | |
| I have climbed all of the peaks on the Triple Traverse seperately. Now I have done the traverse in both directions. Great day of ridge scrambling over all of these mountains. | |

| mtn runr | yep, yep, yep, I was there Date Climbed: May 7, 2006 | |
| Triple Traverse is a misnomer. I counted seven summits as follows: Dromedary, Sunrise, Un-named West of Dromedary, Un-named West of Un-named, East Twin, West Twin, East Twin. | |
