| Met some good climbers on the challenge. Managed to bag Eichorn and Michael minaret as well. The minarets are great for some highball scrambling. | |

| cottersnow | Route Climbed: SE face both times Date Climbed: 2003 - 2004 | |
| Both were done as day trips, and the second was an attempt at the Minaret Traverse. Party of three was destined to fail and a fast team of two is needed. Sixth Minaret in a day though so we weren't terribly dissapointed and we have the route finding dialed on this section for the next attempt. | ||

| I took a day hike from Reds Meadow to better learn the area. My turning point was just above the rust color rock that lies at the lower third of the mountain. I plan on returning to complete and summit in the future. About twelve miles round trip. | |

| Lots of fun. Quite long. It tooks us as long to climb this as it did Dark Star. The last dihedral pitch made the loose rock and difficult route finding on the rest worth it. Fairly easy descent considering.... | |

| Climbed the Rock Route as day trip from Agnew Mdw. Great climb in a beautiful setting. Glad to be only one on the mountain as I found it very difficult not to dislodge loose rock. - Frank | ||

| Great climb - I have to agree with Matthew about everything, especially the rockfall issue. While the rockfall wasn't as prevalent as on other climbs, it was virtually impossibly to stay out of the way of falling rock on the route. I certainly underestimated how exposed and difficult the route is for being a class 3 - it was certainly one of my favorite climbs to date in the Sierras. | |

| A fun climb on a beautiful peak (dayhike from Agnew Meadows). This is the most sustained class 3 I've ever climbed. We had a couple of close shaves with rockfall--I'd recommend keeping group size small on this route. I have to disagree with Bob's comments that the class 4 downclimb just before the summit has little exposure--it looked to us like the fall line was right down a very steep chute. I found it a bit spicy, anyway. | |

| Robert Somoano and I climbed this trully great route in 1986. We found the routefinding a bit devious, but the route of high quality. We started a bit late, to allow space for another party in front of us (Bill Krause and a partner-small world, Bill). Because of that, we were late coming down the Ken-Clyde Couloir which we found to be hard snow at 7PM. We kept rapelling throughout the night as we only had rock shoes and cleaning tools for the snow. Epic. We started to run out of hardware to rap. Robert escaped disaster when single #5 RP failed on the last rappel and hurled him down into the shrund some 60 feet below. He landed on his pack and luckily, was uninjured. I though he was dead and only his yelling my name, brought me to the reality of his surviving the fall. One of the few times in the last 30 years that almost ended badly. A year later, Miguel Carmona and a partner climbed the route and came back with most of my gear. Since Miguel knew I left it there, he was able to search the wall for it and found it. He actually brought me back most of it. What a friend! | |
