| tahoecedar | fun to ski or hike! | |
| One of my favorite ski touring areas, but also so awesome to hike around out to Warren lake and the Devil's oven. I love seeing it from lots of other favorite places. | |

| sierramtngoat | Castle Pass / east side of east turret Date Climbed: Oct 22, 2011 | |
| Hiked up with my wife Anna; it was warm with a gentle breeze to the west. The down-climb of the east turret was spookier than I remembered, but quite do-able. We saw a lot of flying spider webs and tons stuck in the trees on the hike down, bizarre? Route Climbed: Castle Pass / east side of east turret Date Climbed: May 22, 2004 - Successful! Solo hike; good snow coverage though the valley below made the cross country to Castle pass easy. Got very windy as I climbed the west ridge though; it was very windy on top too. Fun class three scramble on the east side of the east turret (summit block). | |

| jareds | great skiing / camping | |
| been up here a couple times - just over 2.5 hours from SF, an easy skin up to the saddle and then short climb to the summit. great sw-facing turns in the spring. prob the quickest place from the city to get on your skis. | |

| PSchubert | Great snowshoe'n Date Climbed: Dec 19, 2009 | |
| A great peak for snowshoeing or winter camping. Even as out of shape as I am I made the northern tower in just under 2.5 hours from the snow park. Great views and plenty of shoots to climb and runouts to practice self arrest. | |

| ElGreco | East Turret Date Climbed: Jan 17, 2011 | |
| Icy snowshoe up the West ridge. Very enjoyable scramble/climb up the east turret (the true summit). Rock is solid, but some chunks did come off from the party above us. Wear a helmet or climb one at a time. Beautiful views of other Tahoe peaks, Lassen and Diablo. | |
