"Great weekend conditions today for a summit! Took the one o clock Couloir variation which was very narrow. Some light breezes at the summit were a great reward for the climb. Climbing routes are limited this year. The pearly gates are all but impassable without two tools and some ice experience. That pushes everyone over to the Old Chute which means people raining ice down on you during ascent and descent. Thankfully nothing could keep the vibes down today and topped out 4:30 hours from parking lot to summit!" — oregon-mt-goat • Mar 30, 2024

"Sometimes when you start a climb at 3am, breaking the trail through 6-8” of new snow is too much. Should have waited two hours and followed the ants up the hill that used my boot track. Stopped at Devils Kitchen since the upper mountain was still in early season conditions and not inviting. Try again next month. " — oregon-mt-goat • Feb 10, 2024

"February 3, 2024. Turned back at the 6 foot ice step in left PG. James cleared the step out and tried to climb it, but could not get a firm hold with his right tool to pull up safely. We thought about trying the right gate or doing Old Chute instead, but down climbing was very taxing. Excellent skiing conditions above Palmer. My first time skiing down from Devils Kitchen. With James. " — runningvegan • Feb 3, 2024

"Definitely the hardest out of TFJ and n sister . Everything solid where it needs to be, first pitch is a legit 5.4 climb with exposure, rest is easy class 3/4. As fun a peak as I’ve ever done , this one has it all " — joshortman • Oct 8, 2023

"Porcupine to 3FJ log. Amazing how the area has come back to life since the huge fire @15 years ago. Pretty straight forward climb for me to the top. Chimney on the summit block is still in good shape. No wind today. Very pleasant." — oregon-mt-goat • Sep 22, 2023
