| strudolyubov | Wham Ridge solo Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2012 | |
| Solo climb of Wham Ridge on a day trip from Molas TH. Direct start, then climbed a nice line between the standard way and center shift. Stellar climbing, solid rock, - classic! | |

| benners | Classic Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2011 | |
| Did this a few days ago, roped up for two and a half pitches (including the crux). One of the best routes I've done to date and Vestal is one spectacular piece of rock. | |

| Liba Kopeckova | 5.4 fun Date Climbed: Jul 24, 2011 | |
| tons of fun, 2/3 up only scramble, 1/3 simul climbing with rockclimber77, went via middle route, which per book is more technical, and rated 5.7, but I am not sure if I encountered a 5.7 move, felt super easy. Great rock! | |

| pyerger | WHAM! 5.6 Date Climbed: Jul 1, 2011 | |

| cruzit | Finally! Date Climbed: Jul 20, 2010 | |
| Five years or so in the planning and finally made it to the Wham Ridge. Alan and I soloed up the wonderful slabby class 4 at an angle and reached the arete about halfway up. Roped for about 7 pitches with our short rope (100 meters) and had an airy traverse and downclimb after missing the ledge to the crux. Finished up with a nice solo of the class 4/5 to the false summit. A short hike over to the summit from there. | |

| BigRob | Awesome Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2009 | |
| simu-climbed for a while, sounds like we did center shift. Jeff burned up a stretch I would call 5.7. Since he didn't put any pro in, I deferred to an off width next door. As it turns out there was an easier way, but we had a blast. | |

| chicagotransplant | "Center Shift" Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2009 | |
| Climbed the "Center Shift" variation with Jamie for 9 roped pitches. The first two were on class 4 slabs and probably could be freed, but it was nice to not have to worry about a slip. The 5.7 crux was quite enjoyable, about 15-20 feet, most of the rest of the face was no harder than 5.5. | |

| Kiefer Thomas | Impressive! Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2008 | |
| Great exposure, awesome views and an easier than expected crux. We free-climbed it despite bringing rope/pro. This is one sweet route! | |

| SarahThompson | Spectacular route! Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2007 | |
| Wham Ridge has to be one of the most unique routes in the state. It starts off as a walkup and gets increasingly steeper with a ton of 4th class climbing near the top and one short low 5th class section. We brought a rope and pro (a few cams and nuts) and used it for the 5th class section. Our big 60m rope was overkill though. Something shorter would have done the trick. | |

| seth@LOKI | Re: The Annual Family Trip | |
| How hard was the WHAM? Everyone that has done it didn't use rope. I'm going with a climber that is shaky about it, I'll bring a little rope either way...but curoius about your experience with the family? Anyone nervous and then love it? | |
