| idpeakgirl | West Chute Date Climbed: Sep 21, 2012 | |
| There are two west chutes. Take the right one, as we did. What we did not know was at the point the chute splits, take the right hand one; we mistakenly took the left and ended up pulling a class 5 move to gain a point with a view of the summit ridgeline that told us we had chosen the wrong way. Late in the day and had to turn around. Lots of loose boulders call for careful foot and hand placement. | |

| cafzal | West Chute/Green Lake loop  Date Climbed: Jul 28, 2012 | |
| What a wild dayhike! After a late start at the South Lake trailhead, I hiked up to Chocolate Lakes and scrambled up a class 3 route with some class 4 toward the end. I arrived at the summit in time for sunset, which was fantastic. However, this meant I had to scramble over Vagabond and back down to Green Lake and complete the loop in the dark, with a headlamp sporting severely diminished luminescent capacities. I kept on trekking, a full 12 hours without stopping for food, etc. Got back to my car at 2AM and drove back to Bishop feeling damn accomplished. | |

| Climbed the East Ridge with Amy. Made the 23 mile 4x4 approach up Coyote Road, and had a beautiful day in the mountains. The pen with the summit register ran out of ink (or decided to be stubborn), so bring a pen if you're heading up there! | |

| LincolnB | South Lake/Green lake route Date Climbed: Jun 21, 2012 | |
| Climbed with brother Jon. The last 100 feet or so have been described as easy class three -- The ridge narrows to a catwalk with open space on either side and jumbled boulders that you have to scramble over, but it's easy and there's no real exposure. Thankfully. The worst part was climbing up & down the loose boulder field above Green lake. | |

| Took the West chute to the summit - mostly class 2 with a few short class 3 sections. Lots of loose rock, though - so much that we opted to go over Vagabond and descend the talus field to Green Lake instead of downclimbing the route. | |

| orandall | West Chute - Secor Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2011 | |
| Took the main chute with right branch at the "Y" in the middle, per Secor. Lots of friction slab work in the upper chute with the final slab to exit onto the ridge seeming more like class 4, though very do-able. Descent via Green Lake; talus was pretty terrible. | |

| Many flowers on the ridge above the saddle. The scree field to the saddle was surprisingly easy. There is the stable side for hiking up and there is the loose side for sliding down. Great peak. | |

| We climbed the East Ridge from Seventh lake, after camping overnight at Black Lake. The climb up to the col before the East Ridge was a slog. The summit scramble was very short but fun. | |

| Day Hiker | North Slope from Green Lake Date Climbed: Sep 15, 2010 | |
| From Bishop Pass trailhead, via Green Lake and Vagabond Peak. On the return, I exited to the trailhead at Parcher's Ranch, just to see that trail and how it is. (Then I walked back up the road to get back to my car.) It's just a rocky horse-and-horseshit trail. Or maybe I was just tired after doing Cloudripper and Vagabond. Anyway, to get to and from the Green Lake trail, I recommend using the Bishop Pass trailhead, not Parcher's Ranch. | |

| Vertigo soul | West Chute Date Climbed: Sep 17, 2010 | |
| Great day hike. Climbed up from Chocolate Lakes. Stayed mostly on the 4th class slabs on the left side of the chute - fun scrambling! Great views of the Palisades. Descended to green lake. First time I've hiked/climbed in the Sierra and never encountered one person all day! Was even more surprising given the popularity of the S. Lake/Bishop Pass area. | |
