| gaudzdice51 | Awesome views  Date Climbed: Jun 21, 2008 | |
| This was a great hike for my father and me. We weren't too sure when to leave the trail to traverse up the backside of Chocolate, but told each other there's only one way but up! It was a great day.. | |

| Had planned on just doing the Chocolate Lakes Loop with my son Kevin but found it extremely fun climbing to the top. Sweet vistas all around. | |

| Made this peak alot more interesting with class 3/4 on snowy choss. Lots of fun, this is a great little peak with outstanding views. I wouldn't know, it was snowing all the way up, and the summit ridge had about 100 yards of visibility! | |

| Ran up with Catherid on Labor Day to get one more peak in before going home. Great area, easy to see why its such a popular trail... Lots to do in the area will definately be back. | |

| Jonodo | South Ridge Date Climbed: Jul 1, 2007 | |
| Climbed Chocolate after hitting Agassiz earlier in the day. The elevation of this peak gives a nice perspective of the Bishop Pass area. You get a great sense of the physical relief that is lost when climbing the higher peaks. I was utterly spent at the end of the day. I need more conditioning! | |

| cp0915 | up - West Face; down - East Face Date Climbed: Jul 7, 2006 | |

| downbooties | Southeast from South Lake to Long Lake and then up the southwest slope Date Climbed: Apr 30, 2006 | |
| I came down from this hike looking like a calico cat. With the midmorning emergence of the hot sun, I stripped down to the bare necessities, missing a few places with the sunscreen (like the symmetrical spots approximately over my kidneys where the pack doesn't cover). My poor white underbelly hadn't seen the sun since I tried taking up sunbathing (interested me for one day) a couple years ago. Otherwise, it was a fun snowshoe with Joe, his dogs and my Jon. | |

| thedus | Great Season Opener Date Climbed: Apr 30, 2006 | |
| I snowshoed this with Joe and Robin from about a mile below South Lake. It was an enjoyable hike on a beautiful day. We figured (rightly so) that this would be a good way to begin acclimating for the coming season. | |
