| Was planning on Sperry and Vesper but decided to head back after summiting Vesper, still quite a bit of snow up there and i hadn't brought crampons. | |

| Vinny | North face Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2011 | |
| Good times with Oyvind. crossing the moat to 1969 route was the spicy crux. Aesthetic and varied route in an awesome setting. should have brought more double runners. Sword at the summit was novel. 10hrs car to car- I think we made time on fun boot skiing. We were able to be first responders on a feel-good rescue en route home (Robe canyon twisted ankle EMRU mission) to boot. | |

| Josh Lewis | Great Glissade! Date Climbed: Feb 7, 2010 | |
| I've been up this peak many times and never grow tired of it, but I very much like the winter ascent. The glissade down headlee Pass was very good. | |

| Snidely Whiplash | Wonderful rock Date Climbed: Aug 18, 1988 | |
| If melted out, the lake in the basin is just beautiful and a nice dip on a hot day. The white rock is sublime. | |

| Climbed the North Face from the glacier. Three pitches in loose gullys, four nearly unprotectable pitches on super clean slabs. | |

| Jimbopo | Vesper via Headlee Pass | |
| Not sure what day I summited, but I know for certain it was some time in 2006. I had attempted in 2005 but I was still in my infancy stage of hiking and I had no idea what I was doing back then. Attempted again with my family in August 2008. Gorgeous! I love the lake, Sperry, the alpine scramble and small glacier below... always gorgeous from up there. Would love to try it in winter some time. | |

| beaudaddy85 | Sunrise Mine/ Headlee Pass Route Date Climbed: Mar 5, 2010 | |
| Hit snow pack at Wirtz basin and was consistent to the summit. Headlee Pass was the toughest section of the trip. Snow broke through either 3 ft or was pure ice the whole way up, steep incline in many spots. Easy going down to the lake, moderate, steady incline to the summit. Thin snow over the slabs around the summit. Better snow conditions on that side of Headlee. Some of the talus fields are melting underneath, so be careful going over snow bridges. Some spots have 4' or 5' hollow sections that look firm on the surface. Great day, Great views!!! | |

| RAdams | Standard route Date Climbed: Jun 15, 1980 | |
| Have been up several times. Hauled skis up most of the way once, but there was too much debris on top of the snow to make it worthwhile below Headlee Pass. Great glissade once down chute to Frozen over Lake Elan. | |

| Darren9 | North Face bailed | |
| Attempted North Face but rain changed our minds...climbed standard route instead, and still it was a good day. Love the Cascades. | |

| Nice, if cold, day out. Good views from the summit. Valleys had some of the best color I've ever seen. | |
