| Cascade Scrambler | Foggy  Date Climbed: Sep 29, 2012 | |
| This is a very fun climb, but don't believe the hype- there's an easy to follow boot path to the summit. Exposure is overrated- don't make a careless move, and you'll have no problems. Due to fog, visibility ranged from 25 feet to about 200 feet, and never got better until nearly back to the car. I'd do this one again to take in the views. | |

| Vinny | Great hike! Date Climbed: Aug 27, 2012 | |
| What a fantastic place- special to be able to drive so high in Snohomish. Tested out my knee and went well-1.5hrs up. gorgeous flowers and great views. So much to do on Mtn loop.... the list gets longer. | |

| fjes6 | Sea of Peaks Date Climbed: Sep 14, 2011 | |
| TH at 7:45am, summit 9:30am. Ascended above the cloud deck leaving the drizzle and cold @ 5,500' and was rewarded with sea of peaks. A great summit, quick and simple, I will be back for sure! | |

| Brian Jenkins | Off Route Date Climbed: Aug 28, 2011 | |
| Climbed with Ron (thundercloud), Nina and Grant. We missed the grassy gully that takes you off the lower ledges up closer to the crest of the ridge to the notch and instead did scary ledges to the south face of the mountain, found our own notch and scrambled up to the summit from there. Some really exposed moves, much moreso than the normal route. Cool moat and cave behind it though. Found the correct route down and then had to do the scary ledges again to retrieve our trekking poles. Very buggy day but fun with a good group. Burgers and shakes in Darrington after! | |

| BKW | Morning Summit Date Climbed: Sep 22, 2010 | |
| Got to the summit by 8am and was back at work in Bellevue by 12:30. I must have been off the mountain by the time gimpilator arrived (preceding entry). The commitment/fun factor of this mountain is extremely low; I wonder why it's not more popular. The frosty, icing, and/or wet rock made for some intesting scrambling, especially on the sections of exposed slabs. Great weather and great views. | |

| gimpilator | 2nd Attempt Date Climbed: Sep 22, 2010 | |
| The first time I tried this one (9/1/08), runoff from snow-melt on the slabs caused Raymond to take a fall, so we turned around. I went back with Beau 2 years later and he was kind enough to repeat the peak with me and show me the route. Lots of exposed slabs and ledges and lots of fun. I'll do this one again! | |

| beaudaddy85 | Great NW Ridge!!! Date Climbed: Sep 11, 2010 | |
| Decent conditions... A little slick and loose rock with exposure made it a slow descent. Cloud line was at 6,800'... Made for blue skies and sun on the summit... Didn't want to leave!!! Came back on 9.22.10 for an evening summit with Gimpilator and then again on 9.30.10 for yet another amazing evening summit with CHAMmccutchen. Click on the trip report below; Trip Report | |

| Perfect weather. When you reach the base of the first gully, go to the right, not up. | |

| One of the best viewpoints around. From the base this looks like a very serious scramble but it actually turns out to be almost all class 2 and mostly a walkup. White Chuck is probably even worth of a repeat. | |

| osatrik | NW Route Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2006 | |
| First time on this delightful scramble. Fires inhibited the views a bit, but neverthess, this is certainly a worthwhile trip -- not many like this so close to the trailhead -- and the view aspect on the approach (both driving and on the trail) is "I'm going up THAT!?" | |

| Andy Dewey | Route Climbed: NW Route Date Climbed: Sep 10, 2006 | |
| Made it to the top on a beautiful warm day with awesome views! Went much quicker than I anticipated, so on the way back I stopped and jogged a couple miles up the Neiderprum trail on Whitehorse then bushwacked through devils club for a while and by some miracle actually found my digital camera that I had lost 4 months ago!!! It must have been buried under a few feet of snow. I doubt it works, but still can't believe I found it. | |
