August 2008, 45 years old - One day summit attempt. Made it to trail crest. Got to TC around 1pm. We had several mishaps along the way that slowed us down significantly. Not least of which was me puking my guts up around switchback 90.

November 2008 - Dayhike to LPL with (then) 9 year old son.

July 2009, 46 years old - Three day summit attempt with my (then) 10 year old son and 66 year old Aunt. Spent the night at LPL. Bad weather turned us around before we started day 2. I didn't really expect to make the summit on this trip. but I was definitely planning on Trail Camp and hoping for Trail Crest.

September 2010, 47 years old - Solo Two day summit...SUCCESS!!

I count that as two real attempts with one success.
