Route Climbed: Atlantis Couloir Date Climbed: June 21, 2005
climbed roach's atlantis couloir. nice, short climb in decent snow conditons. the gulch is a hidden beauty to many people, despite between right next to quandary.
Route Climbed: Traverse from Pacific Date Climbed: July 4, 2005
Climbed Atlantic as part of a long loop including Helen, Father Dyer, Crystal & Pacific. Loved the scramble from Helen to Father Dyer! We finished with a traverse back east along Pacific's east ridge.
Route Climbed: NW Ridge from Mayflower Gulch Date Climbed: November 2005
Beautiful day out in winter. Halfway up the ridge we were socked in by a snowstorm decreasing visibility. When my water started to freeze on the summit it was time to head down!
Route Climbed: SW Face, descent NW ridge Date Climbed: July 2003
We climbed off trail up a loose and unpleasant gully (not recommended) and descended the more pleasant NW ridge back into the Mayflower Creek area. Climbed with Josh Ramey (ColoradoJosh).
Route Climbed: Northeast Face Date Climbed: August 1 ,1987
Climbing up the trail from McCullough Gulch, you encounter a huge boulderfield at the base of the crux pitch, a rocky scramble to the saddle north of the summit. Once past this obstacle, the summit is an easy stroll to the southwest.
Route Climbed: Crystal-Pacific-Atlantic Date Climbed: November 15, 2004
After Crystal and Pacific Peaks, Atlantic was actually a relief: I wore my snowshoes all the way to the top. The trip down Atlantic's West Ridge, however, was tricky and dangerous w/ tons of snow and some ice. Started before sunrise this morning; didn't get out till after sunset.
Route Climbed: Northeast Face from Highway 9 Date Climbed: October 23, 2004
Summited after the most recent snow storm. The head wall had about 5 inches of soft snow over a hard, icy base layer. Decided to go from the highway for a more enjoyable trip with a friend. Also took in Pacific Peak.
Route Climbed: From Pacific Date Climbed: 6/22/2003
It seems like a lifetime ago that we climbed Atlantic. It was only one year ago tomorrow. We climbed Pacific first from Mayflower and then did the traverse over to Atlantic. Long day and I remember the ridge coming down Atlantic had some tricky snow patches. We also wallowed in the willows trying to get back to the car. Great day though.
Route Climbed: Traverse from Pacific, then down the West Ridge Date Climbed: June 7th 2001
A fun route to be sure. The ascent of Pacific followed by a visit to the highest lake in north America (Pacific Tarn) followed by topping out on Atlantic Peak, followed by a descent of Atlantic's airy west ridge, is a sojourn not to be missed. Jon

Route Climbed: Northeast Slopes from McCollough Gulch Date Climbed: August 17, 2005Snuck in a quick ascent of this peak in an otherwise bad weather cycle. Windy day. The hike up to the peak is really beautiful.
