"One of the three guys plan on going to the summit with got sick so we did not end up leaving early enough to attempt to summit but we didn’t make it to about 7500 feet and found a path through the glacier" — WanderingHutch • Oct 15, 2023
"No glacier gear is needed as of today. Scared from a Summit, but would not recommend going all the way to the tongue of the Glacier as the climb out. It’s a little bit difficult." — castrode • Jul 12, 2023
"What a beautiful mountain. Took the Squak Glacier Route to the summit on a 2-day trip, less crowded and same difficulty as Easton Glacier Route. Overall rating 9/10, beautiful glaciers, views, and the Sherman Crater made a cool side attraction" — MountainQuest • May 29, 2023
"What a climb! Recent beta let us know that the summit was melted out and there were a lot of open crevasses, but there was nothing too difficult to navigate around. Day 1 we hiked up to where the crevasses started & set up camp. We started around midnight for the summit. Not far into our climb, Joel had the sole of his boot come loose. Out of an abundance of caution, he decided to return to camp and we moved forward with 2 rope teams of 3 each. We moved slow & steady with short hourly breaks on the way up and made the summit by 730am. After a nice rest at the top, we headed down at a slightly faster pace. The snow was already slushy as we headed back down, but no issues. After a brief rest, we packed up and hiked all the way out." — Kevin • Jul 14, 2021
"Fantastic trip up the Coleman-Deming. Even with a strong, hot headwind and rather slushy conditions the glacier is holding together nicely. 8 hour round trip car to car made for a nice quick climb starting at 12:30 am. " — oregon-mt-goat • Jun 26, 2021
