| royanderson | From above Lake Ediza  Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2012 | |
| Came from Lake Ediza route. Snow was sparse, but ice axe and crampons were necessary to get to the saddle; the chute coming back from the saddle was very icy and not a fun descent. | |

| Climbed from RB saddle with Sierra Mountaineering Group. 1000 feet of talus and scrambling wasn't as bad as the photo makes it appear. Spectacular summit and view! | |

| Daria | Beautiful area Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2009 | |
| The Minarets and surrounding area and lakes was more memorable than the actual climb. Nice views atop the blocky-summit. The climbing became more fair 3rd class closer to the summit. Day hike | |
