"First Ascent Liam Suckling (Australia), Jeff Reynolds (USA), Nate Opp (USA) and Larry Holmgren (USA) Approach: After summiting Mt. Vinson on January 4, 2017, the team spent two weeks traveling with skis and sleds, descending the Zapol Glacier from Vinson Base Camp, then traversing the Nimitz, Minnesota, Splettstoesser, Balish, Schanz, Driscoll and Union Glaciers. Covering approximately 120 miles of technical terrain, they made the first ascent of Rogers peak along the way on January 17, 2017. The base camp for Rogers Peak was established at the entrance to an obvious bowl shared by Rogers and an unnamed peak (Peak 1,400m) adjacent to the collection of peaks that compose the Robinson Massif to the south. Base camp elevation is approximately 2,654 ft. Route: From base camp, the team moved west into the bowl up rolling glacier conditions with moderate crevassing. Passing most of the north face of Rogers Peak, we continued ascending the glacier until the true summit on the long east-west ridge was visible. Although there are numerous routes here, the group broke sharply right into an obvious rock band leading to the ridge. After gaining the ridge, the route leads left about 30..." — liamsuckling • Jan 17, 2017

"Graham Hancox, Dave Gobey, Bruce Riddolls and I summitted here on New Year's Day 1967... Graham and I went on to traverse the ridge. Again the above date is wrong, because your calendar doesnt go back that far. The summit was a granite rock spillikin and I have a picture of the ascent which I am retrieving.

"I was with Simon Hobbs, when we were working for the British Antarctic Survey. We were based at Fossil Bluff (Base KG) on the western side of George 6 Sound, directly opposite the mountain group seen on the satellite image. There are three distinct "peaks" in the group - we climbed the easiest of them, which Simon and I nicknamed The Underhill. We made attempts on the two others but short daylight hours and very low temperatures prevented us. Whilst on The Underhill, we saw our first glimpse of the returning sun after the three dark months of the Antarctic winter." — RogT • Oct 15, 1974

"These First Assent climbs were undertaken from the British Antarctic Survey - Base F (Argentine Islands) during August 1965. From the island crossing the frozen sea ice to the Antarctic mainland by dog sledge. A team of four men - Phil Hope - dog sledge driver. Terry Tallis; Tony Bushell & Frank Stacey Climbers. + dog Team" — terrytallis • Aug 6, 1965
