"One day climb of Deception. Getting off the snow onto the rock was rough. The rock was slippery and dicey. We were the only ones up there. Long, challenging day. Epic views ." — BryHong8 • Jul 4, 2023

"Trillium* Linkup of Washington, Pershing, and Ellinor in a day. With Scott Y. Special thanks to Myles for many days of effort making this route work out. 10k of vert in 12 miles in 17hrs. What a ton of work but the remoteness and knife edge ridges and multiple rappels made this worth it. FKT/OKT" — castrode • Aug 13, 2022

"Climbed McCartney in a day hike from Obstruction point. Spent most of the day off trail, passing over Moose peak and dropping down to the Lillian Creek. I followed the creek up to the former glacier and spotted a good sized black bear. The summit views where some of the best I've had in the Olympics. " — MatthewWinterberg • Aug 7, 2019

"From Terrence's WTA Report: We are the Mountain Goats, and today, one of us (Terrence, 12) climbed Mount Washington in the Olympics. The forest road is windy and a little rough, but not too bad. The trailhead is off of a turnoff, right before the Upper Mount Ellinor trailhead. The beginning of trail is very steep, but pretty easy to follow. The trail is kind of of like Snoqualmie Mountain and Old Mailbox. Straight and no switchbacks. You start in the forest, and in about a half mile enter a pleasant meadow. After .7 miles, you get up to a scree field where you can begin to see your destination above. After carefully going through the scree field, route finding gets more difficult as you enter a steep ravine. Be sure to stay to the left as you go up, and it's a bit easier. Lots of rocks and roots to climb up, and the scrambling begins here. At the top of the ravine, you enter another meadow with a couple of paths. We stayed to the left again, and eventually we reached a steep headwall/ravine where the first class 3 scrambling began. The rock was a bit wet and mossy, and it's very loose. All the rocks from higher up the mountain funnel down into this gully where ..." — BryHong8 • Nov 17, 2018

"I can't believe how long it took me to get out to the high divide. Left the sol duc trailhead in the afternoon during the hottest part of the day. The flies were relentless but the walk was great. Got behind a herd of 15 goats around sol duc park and followed them up to Heart lake. Passed some friends on the last push to the divide trail who had gotten turned around on Carrie due to the heat and lack of water. Got up to my campsite at Bruce's roost, which had an amazing view of Mount Olympus. Set up and hung in my tent immediately due to a mosquito take over. Sean made it up to camp to join me after work around 10 and he didn't have a tent. Left camp at 6 and made our way to the Catwalk. Since Sean had climbed Carrie before, and due to his lack of sleep, he decided to just go climb Cat Peak. The Catwalk was real straight forward fun scrambling and got on the ridge to Carrie soon after. The route finding was easy and I was able to scramble above the last snowfield to the summit. One of the better views I have had in the Olympics and one I have wanted for awhile. Scrambled over to Cat Peak after. " — MatthewWinterberg • Jul 30, 2018
