Iowa Gulch TH Ascend West Slopes
Pretty nice hike especially through the wild flowers near the trail head. We met a bunch of boy scouts - whining on the way up, having fun on the way down - being encouraged by their leaders, who, I might add, were doing the "real" suffering!

Winds were blowing hard and that made it slightly harder, but it wasn't too bad. We had an awesome glissade on the large snowfield between Mount Sherman and Mount Sheridan.

I live near Four Mile Crick right here in Butler Co. Ohio, but it's nothing to write home about.

Ooooooooooooooooooh the scree! This is indeed scree territory so watch out for twisting ankles. RMdaytripsgrl is correct when she said that Sherman "is completely destroyed by old mining activity." My friend couldn't help himself so he took a dump in one of the mining shacks. Grosss!!
Best thing to see on the summit ridge is Mount Sheridan. At the time of our 4th of July climb, Sheridan has a "$" sign on its slope and I snapped a pic :) I really looked like a dollar sign!
This was an awesome experience. Went with wilderness trek.

From Fourmile Creek
Snowshoes definitely are indicated in April. Snow deep and getting soft. Road was plowed to 1 mile below Leavick. Chris and I climbed Sherman, Gemini, and Dyer this day. Exhausting!

The headwall was still in so I went strait up it. Had a fun glissade on the way down. I met an 83 year old man on the summit who was still out bagging peaks… awesome! Part of a 10 day 18 14,000 ft. summit solo climbing trip.

I would rate this one as the easiest (that I've done). Still it was beautiful. Saw lots of cute marmots.

Did this along with Dyer, Gemini, Sheridan, Peerless and Horseshoe. The Mosquitos can deliver some serious fun.

Not much to say about this one. You could land a plane on this summit.

Quite an easy 14er. Perfect for a first timer too. I only met a few people. Went and checked out the ruins of the Climax mine and Hilltop mine. Good weather, very dry. A good day.
Route Climbed: Fourmile Creek Date Climbed: 6/13/04
Not a long hike but cold weekend with high winds on the ridge. You could alwost lean 45 degrees into the wind without falling. Beautiful dark blue skies that day. 14er #10
