| Second time up. With Mathew (who will remember this by his sore ankle from pitch 2)... Icy descent. Amazingly brown for this time of year. | |

| Summitted with Jack - very enjoyable climb. Eichorn's Pinnacle was the highlight for me, by far! The views are fantastic and the climbing very clean. Three parties at 05:30 at the trailhead... And another one already on the route when we got there. Good thing for the early start too, because thunderstorms moved in unusually early. Easy descent back to the JMT from the pinnacle. | |

| Via the SE Butt. Ended P6 watching a thunderstorm roll in on us from the west. Pretty spectacular view, very sketchy belaying from the summit block and watching lightning in the distance. | |

| Left the road around 4 pm, started climbing a little after 5, reached the top around 7. No crowds - only a soloist ahead of us on the route. Incredible view and light from the summit with the sun going down! 4.5 hrs RT. | |

| Easy scramble up via Budd Lake, to the back side more interesting but still easy scramble. Summit block isn't that exposed and has excellent holds. Would have liked to have done the SE Buttress... Continued with Cathedral Range traverse after dropping down the south side via a holdless chimney at the Eichorn saddle. | |

| i was hiking with my family to cathedral pass but when my brother and i reached the base of the west face we decided to climb it reached the notch between eichorn and the summit where my brother stayed and i clambered up to the summit...the summit block was pretty sketch without a rope but i survived and descend to my brother and back down via the west face | |

| Will never do SE buttress on a Saturday or in the middle of summer. Had fun though, just spent as much time waiting as climbing. | |

| requiem | Thunder and noobs Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2010 | |
| guided a party of 3 (one newb, one solid follower). another party of 2 with a weak follower passed us by going a harder way then blocked our escape route while the storm pushed in. had to bail 40 ft from the summit and get off before the horizontal rain and thunder were accompanied by lightning. that never happened, thankfully. had to leave a #2 Camalot though =/. | |

| requiem | cold and alone Date Climbed: Aug 28, 2010 | |
| climbed with PellucidWombat. freezing winds and hail on and off all day kept other parties off the route; on party started up and bailed after one pitch, and other groups walked up to the base and gazed up at us, then walked away. at least we summited with the buttress and summit all to ourselves! | |

| This was the first peak we tackled as part of a holiday weekend trip to Yosemite. We then hit Eichcorn (of course), El Cap (Pine Line), Half Dome (Snake Dike), and Royal Arches. Great start to an unforgettable trip! | |
