| calipidder | Class 2 route from Arrow Pass  Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2011 | |
| Camped at Bench Lake. Insane mosquitoes between Bench and Arrow Pass. All clear and free from the Pass to the summit. Lovely day to spend on a sierra peak. What a view - won't forget this one. | |

| What a fun ridge, would definitely do it again, maybe in winter? Worth the huff and puff and Sean yelling down, "Laura, I think you want to be over THERE..." Thanks, guys! Afterwards, Tom and I headed over to Pyramid Peak. | |

| Fun ridge, despite not being that hard. Amazing views of the Palisades to the north and the rest of the Sierra to the south. Trip report | |

| mrchad9 | Taboose Pass Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2008 | |
| Up the southeast slope from Bench Lake, after spending 3 nights in from Taboose Pass. Very scenic summit, then over to Pyramid in the afternoon for a very long day and back at Bench Lake in the evening. Perfect CA weather each day, bagging Striped, Goodale, Cardinal, Wynne, Pinchot, Arrow, and Pyramid during the trip. Hiked out the next day. | |

| Langenbacher | Southeast Slope Date Climbed: Sep 6, 2009 | |
| Taboose Pass, Bench Lake, Arrow pass. The puzzle was how to get up to Arrow Pass. Climbing up the solid slabs of the east peaklette and contouring to the pass on the east was much easier than our descent straight down from the pass to the lake below. As usual, the final ascent was much easier than it appeared from a distance. Fantastic view from the summit! | |

| bechtt | NE Ridge ascent / SE slopes descent Date Climbed: Jun 15, 2008 | |
| Day 2 of a tough weekend with Taboose Pass and Cardinal Mtn on Day 1 and Arrow Pk and exit on Day 2. Good exposure but easy Class 3 on the ridge with a heavy cornice on the last 400' section. Great views and perfect day. SE slopes to the first chute -- fortunate to find a rock band to descend as the cornice on the chute was 10-20' high. Pictures | |

| Bob Burd | SE Slopes Date Climbed: May 22, 2008 | |
| Long, 18.5hr dayhike from Roads End. Not the easiest way to get to Arrow Peak. Lots of snow in the higher elevations, found tedious boulders but no sand on the SE Slopes. Trip Report | |

| Elwood | Up the N.E. Ridge, & down the S.E. Slope Date Climbed: Sep 12, 2007 | |
| Wow! Tough hike in over Taboose Pass. We camped at the 3rd stream crossing, at 9,100ft. There was a spot at each stream crossing, & two more sites above 9,100ft. We made our basecamp at Bench Lake, beautiful spot! Then I climbed the N.E. Ridge, excellent route! This was the finest view I've had from any of my Sierra summits! Enjoyed the small summit for a 1/2 hr. or so, then preceeded down the S.E. Slope. We packed-up & headed over Taboose Pass, where we were finally stopped at around 10,000ft. by fatigue & darkness at 9:00pm. It was a great 4-day trip, into one of the finest areas the Sierra has to offer! After doing this, I don't see how someone can make this in a single day, it seems impossible! | |

| Matthew Holliman | Dayhike from Taboose Pass TH Date Climbed: Aug 27, 2006 | |
| Long dayhike out of the Taboose Pass TH, climbing the NE Ridge and descending the SE Slopes. The NE Ridge was a little disappointing, as the class 3 was very easy, contrived in places as there were many easy exits to the left if needed, and there was little real exposure. Still, at least I didn't ascend the SE Slopes--much sand there. Descended a chute from the first notch south of Arrow Peak, rather than continuing on to Arrow Pass as recommended by Secor. This was steep and loose, but no more than class 2. Saw only a couple of guys way off in the distance, in the valley south of Bench Lake, during the whole day. | |

| This is a fabulous peak in so many ways. Remote, beautiful and some of the best summit views around. We hiked to it from our camp, which was about a mile over and away from Taboose Pass. Made for a long haul, but well worth it. Must go back for the NE spur route some time. | |

| If you like sustained cl. 3 climbing, this route is for you! There is something like 2,700 ft+ of climbing. "Yeee Dawgies uncle Jed!" | |

| atc | Route Climbed: Southeast Slope Date Climbed: August 27, 2004 | |
| Climbed Arrow Peak as a part of Sierra Club national outing exploring the Palisades region for seven days. We started from Bench Lake, contoured around to an unnamed lake, climbed to Arrow Pass, then aimed for the summit. I do not think a class 2 route exists, it is about class 3. If you are a geocacher, I've also made Arrow Peak as a virtual geocache. | ||

| iand | Route Climbed: East Slope Date Climbed: September 1st, 2003 | |
| A sweet little route up from fly fishing on bench lake, climbed with Kent Dickson, my older brother. Views south to Mt. Gardner and North to the Pallisades. Very happy to find a summit register, i'd like to return some day to this gorgeous area to climb Pyramid and Window peaks. | |

| I went up via the pass north of Arrow pass and the small peak on the ridge. This pass is mostly large talus blocks with a loose scramble up the cliffs at the top. Arrow pass is much easier and probably takes less time. From there it's an easy scramble up to the summit and an outstanding view. | |
