"Silver Star Mountain via Burgundy Col. Interesting mountain! Lots of deadfall down low, but quickly clears and yields to easily followable trail. Early Winters Creek crossing is no problemo thanks to a dry log just a few yards right of the trail on the approach. We stayed at Bench Camp, with plenty flat sites for tents and water a short romp away on a well-worn side path (48.55487, -120.60359). The hike up the gully to Burgundy Col is effin’ hot garbage. Stay climber’s left of the gully proper to trade loose,microwave-sized death traps for equally unenjoyable (but far less dangerous) slabs covered in kitty litter. This area felt like the crux of the entire climb. Take your time route-finding through here both coming and going. The drop onto the other side of the mountain from Burgundy col was into steep. A party ahead of us rappeled down on a snow bollard, but we had no problems down-climbing the soft snow, which had a nice runout. A glorious boot pack highway leads all the way to the summit block. Silver Star Glacier was super closed in the early morning, so we opted to ascend unroped. Snow still covers much of the summit save for about a hundred feet of straightforward scrambling..." — wacbravo • Jul 11, 2022

"Drove up from Seattle at 5am, started hiking steeply uphill from the car at 9am, no snow until much higher. After about 1500 feet put on skins. Headed up the avvy path under Burgundy and then traversed over to ascend the to the glacier and col below the summit. From there we left our skis and scrambled up steep snow and rock. Reaching the summit block required some sketchy unprotected moves in snowboard boots. Incredible panoramic views at the top. Sticky mashed-potato conditions for most of the way down, lots of avvy debris in the gullies. LOONG skin and hike down to the car, 8 hours car to car including breaks and waiting for others in the group. " — hauteroute • May 27, 2017
