"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

"Awesome trip and summit day. Began climb several days earlier at the Park Butte trailhead. Hiked up very nice trail, across Sulfur Creek, through a forested slope with tons of ripe blueberries passing through Schreiber’s and Morovitz Meadows and up the Railroad Grade ridge created by the Easton glacial morraine. The trail is in great shape up until Railroad Grade, where it narrows on the ridge and requires a little more care due to the exposure along the ridge and the dirt/gravel on the trail. Set up camp at Sandy Camp at about 5900 ft. Traversed up the Easton Glacier passing by and over hundreds of crevasses and snow fields, across some icy areas and up the steep snow fields and Roman Wall. We experienced a tricky crevasse crossing / wall climb where our guide free-climbed and set up a top rope so that we could climb on belay up a 15-20’ wall using our ice axe pick and kicking in steps in the wall with our crampons. The rest of the climb was traversing up steep snow fields, past the bergshrund and up the final rock and snow field to the summit. Coming down required a little more care with some of our climbers having trouble staying on their feet with the soft snow in some places a..." — joeerickson • Aug 17, 2019

"No better way to spend Father's Day weekend... I was already down in Mission BC for a work event so why not go skiing just south of the border on the weekend? Only question is who is nuts enough to join? Billy departs Friday 7am wanting to ski all the Cascade volcanoes that he'd previously walked up before he knew better. Babette drives 5.5 hrs south of Prince George for another weekend sleep deprived bender. They arrive in Mission BC at 5pm and we're thru the border with a form for Babette and eating at pub carb loading for the morning's endeavours. Arrived at trailhead at 9pm to a full parking lot of Washington plates and numerous folks sleeping in their cars. A half out of it nap until 2:30am and we're up and shortly joined by about 5 other parties prepping to go. Headlamps on ,8C and we're off in ski boots with skis on the pack for a 3.5km 800m walk before realizing we'd overshot the trail to the snow and had to backtrack and put skis on to ascend to the base level where we saw the first tents. It was at this time that we broke out of a thick rainforest fog into bluebird wonder. Probably 50+ people in front of us all the way to the summit and some already descendin..." — alexjoseph • Jun 15, 2019

"After completing the Saranac Lake 6ers in April/May 2018, I went back with my niece Serena for Columbus Day weekend. Thank you for starting the Adirondack 29er Peak Challenge... we will be back next year : )" — lancehansen • Oct 6, 2018

"Sean and I started the hike to hogsback at 1ish after the drive and ferry approach. Alot of parties on the way down didn't make it due to an unsafe snow bridge. At camp we talked to a party that summited but they broke the bridge on the way back and weren't sure if there was a way up. We figured we would look and roped up at 130am. The snow conditions were great but there were alot of crevasses to navigate. We got to the broken snow bridge as the sun was coming up and spotted a route that looked ok but it was real steep right above the crevasse. We teamed up with another party of 2, using all 4 of the pickets and belayed eachother up the steep snow. After passing the crux it was easy going and super gorgeous. We got to the summit around 10. I can't imagine having better views. Sean and I had the top to ourselves for 15 minutes then made pretty good time heading down. We didn't want to down climb the spot we went up so we built an anchor and rappelled across the crevasse to a little ledge that we could climb out of. Once we got that scary bit out of the way we made it down to camp in good time. We were both extremely tired but packed up and made the drive back for work the next morn..." — MatthewWinterberg • Aug 7, 2018

"We went up the Coleman-Deming route, starting leisurely on Saturday around 10 AM. We roped up at the top of the Hogsback, at the toe of the glacier. Snow was very soft. We put crampons on, but in retrospect, they weren't helpful. We camped at around 6800 feet, not at the Heliotrope Ridge camp (which was unnecessarily high and out of the way) or at the Black Butte High Camp (which had rock fall and, as far as we could tell, no running water). We had running water, but needed to shovel platforms. Because of the very hot day and soft snow, we got up 11 PM and departed at midnight. We reached the summit around 6:30, but we also went very slowly and didn't push at all. The snow was perfect styrofoam for cramponing in the morning. We unroped just above the Colfax col and scrambled up the dirt ridge. Upon reaching the snow slope below the Roman wall, we decided to stay unroped. There were no visible crevasses, and we decided it was safer to not pull someone else down on a possible slip (there were lots of teams making questionable rope decisions, like three climbers with about 3 feet in between climbers...). In the end, it was less steep than it appeared from below. I still think we ma..." — mathiasricken • Jul 15, 2018

"A fast and light attempt up the Colman Demming route. Started at the trailhead about 10PM, hikes the Heliotrop Ridge in the dark to the tongue of the glacier about 6000 feet. Ran out of gas about 8500 feet and turned back with another party from Mountain Madness. My climbing partner "Little Unkle" made it. Will attenpt again on a 2-3 day trip. 7500 feet climbing a day is a bit beyond my current abilities (with return trip down)." — markhadland • Jul 15, 2018
