"September 13, 2025. Third Mount Washington summit with Ryan and Brooks. First time free scrambling to the summit; which only took 21 minutes from the saddle to the summit. Did two rappels, from the summit and back to the saddle. An excellent day on the mountain. Brooks's first time on rappel." — runningvegan • Sep 13, 2025

"July 26, 2025. Car to car summit of Mount Jefferson from Whitewater Trailhead. Camped at the trailhead and started at 2:55am. Low crevase exposure on Whitewater Glacier. Only a few cracks opening up that could be stepped over and some that are starting to melt out and become aerated. Excellent snow conditions on the Red Traverse. Great sticks, but not so great kicks on the established bootpack. Summit block is completely dry. Scrambled up the NW Ridge to the summit. Summited around 11:10am. Rappelled with a 30m rope from the summit block and down climbed the rest. Tat on the summit was in good condition. Did not inspect or use the second rap station, but there was a blue rope left hanging from it with what looked like an overhand knot tied on it. Back at the car just after 6pm. 15 hours and 10 minutes round trip; the same time as Rainier. With Ryan and James." — runningvegan • Jul 26, 2025

"2 AM start, summit just after 7. Took the 2:00 up and 1:00 down. Lugged up skis but finished too early- suncups were frozen solid. Had to hike the skis back down to the top of the lift and cruise down on the groomed lines. " — Christopher • May 8, 2025

"December 6, 2024. Stunning sunrise. Finally got to climb Mazama Chute after having to turn around in July and do 1 o'clock instead when there was an ice step with bad sticks. Cruiser climbing conditions today. Descended via 1 o'clock. Natural ice fall was more prevalent than I have seen coming down from the Old/Chute 1 o'clock area. The snow did not quite warm up enough for an amazing ski down, but still not too bad above Palmer. With Ryan." — runningvegan • Dec 6, 2024

"November 30, 2024. Climbed Pearly Gate left, there were two mixed rock/ice sections leading into the gates. The sun during the week made the ice melt quickly off these sections, previously they were not reported to be mixed. There was an 8-ish foot ice step in the left gate. Challenging conditions, with a mix of good sticks and not so good sticks. Ice was easy to flake off in places and totally solid in others. Really had to work for the summit today. Descended via 1 o'clock, easy peasy. Excellent early snow made for great skiing conditions on the way down. With Ryan. " — runningvegan • Nov 30, 2024
