"10/10/21: After summiting McClellan, stuck the ridge as much as possible to avoid deeper accumulating snow (gaiters would have been nice!) Followed some broken trail from the only other party on the mountain that day (a lady and her dog who didn’t seem to mind the conditions at all; hardy souls!). The blowing snow clouds came in waves from across Grays and Torreys (never was able to fully see the peaks) with occasional heavy gusts that felt like sandpaper. The direct ridge line got too deep for comfort so I made way over to the east slopes where the rime ice was getting thick and steeper and the decision was made to don the ascent trax for the final push. Fortunately the snow-wind started to abate at the summit and allowed a rest and a smoke. Still could only see the start of the Grays summit ridge but some decent clearing was starting to the south (Peru Creek basin) and along the ridge down to Argentine Pass. I followed the ridge down to the first saddle while deciding if Argentine Pass/Peak was in the cards for the day as originally planned. There was still no solid evidence of the skies clearing or the ceiling continuing to lift and it would be getting late soon so the decision..." — LoneWolf • Oct 10, 2021

"First centennial 13er completed. Hiked up the east slopes to the summit ridge. Completed both summits. The hike between the summits was fantastic. The slope heading up was unrelenting. " — MtnGeek • Jul 8, 2021

"Impulse afternoon hike. Perfect weather forecast allowed me to start late. Faint trail headed up to Dyer with a few soft snowfields, then more snow on the way to Gemini. Still a large snowfield between Gemini and Sherman but mostly avoidable. Coming down Sherman more unavoidable snow, slick mud, and several stream crossings made for very wet feet. If these temps hold the next few days will be pretty sloppy but all the snow might be gone in a week. https://youtu.be/LVs_03lw4tY" — cheeseishappiness • Jun 13, 2021

"Booked a month and a half in advance and thankfully had great weather and access to the Four Way trailhead (last week climbers had to start from ranch hq). Did have to hustle down as clouds developed to the east and I could hear some thunder in the distance. Firm snow in the morning began turning to slop by noon. Wish I could have detoured to Punta Serpiente but at least I bagged the two big ones and won't have to come back and pay the hefty fee again. https://youtu.be/fX3QC7AWDU0" — cheeseishappiness • May 28, 2021

"Began at 9:45 from North Lake Creek TH, arriving at Frasco at 1:52, then French at 2:32 and finally Casco at 4:55! We were in the dark by the time we hit the woods! Hiked during a High Wind Warning with gusts up to 40mph!" — xnatedawgx • Oct 5, 2019
