Beautiful climb
Great route. Got stuck on the Coleman in the open under a passing lightning storm...a little scary, but it only lasted about an hour; glad we weren't higher like some others were.
Came up the North side on this climb. I recall the sulpher emmissions at high camp were enough to make you gag.

This route has it all. Beautiful old growth rain forest, fun snow slopes, a fairly steep headwall, and few crevasses. It's a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable climb.

No clouds in the sky
Black Buttes to the summit in 3.5 hours or so. Pretty eerie to climb by starlight over the Coleman Glacier. Snow was awesome, and we made it from the summit to the cars in 4 hours.

Above the clouds
Black Buttes to summit in 3:45. Because the mountain was so much warmer than the day before, the decent was tedious with all the punching through. Between the pumice ridge and Black Buttes wasn't much fun, as we were up to our knees half the time.

Nice detour
Intended to climb the headwall but was turned back by crevasses. Headed up this route instead and was very pleased.

Coleman-Deming
A beautiful route. I loved the views from the Roman Wall.
Climbed the C/D route solo overnight, 9/9/07-9/10/07, car to car in one push. Crevasses were hairy, and the route was straight up ice in places. Getting up was definitely easier than getting down in places.

Coleman Glacier
What an intense climb! Pretty easy going (until you reach the Roman Wall) but dangerouse territory along the way.

A nice outing
Got to look down on a sea of clouds from the summit. It was a good day.

This was a fantastic climb. Not too crowded either. I've posted some of the photos here on summitpost, and all of them here.

The Roman Wall
Spent the first night below Black Buttes. Awoke at 12AM and after crossing a few snow bridges, reached the summit via the Roman Wall at 7:15 AM. It was a little hairy coming down the Roman Wall. Saw some people belaying down it. That might be a good way to go. Perfect weather conditions all weekend, almost no wind and not a cloud in the sky for hundreds of miles.
