| For whatever reason (the threat of rain) we decided to hike up Devil's Slide, over to Hidden Lake, up to Round Valley, climb up San Jacinto, and hike back to Humber Park instead of some rock route on Tahquitz. Whem Tom, an old rock climbing buddy of mine, saw Cornell as we headed toward Tamarack Valley said "Let's do that to". I've since been up a dozen or so times,usually in the winter or spring. | |

| Augie Medina | Cross-Country from Tram Date Climbed: Nov 24, 2007 | |
| Loved the ascent to this peak up 3d class route on its southern slope. The summit block is fabulous. First peak of a loop hike that included Miller, San Jacinto, Folly, Drury, Jean and Marion. | |

| Awesome summit block! Spicey 4th class exposed, and like a catwalk to the summit. | |

| R Pollard | Almost made it Date Climbed: Jun 19, 2007 | |
| Didn't have great info on this one, so we just cut across from Tamarak valley hoping to find a good way up. Came up the south east side and stopped about 30-40 feet from the top. Couldn't find a way up I thought my boys could come back down. Nice view, but I don't think I need to go back here. | |

| 135driver | Holy &^$$^%$ | |
| Done this one two or three times. Theron and I actually sat atop the tippy top when we were younger. Trips after that were painful and unforgetable. | |

| mlarkin2002 | Cornell & SJ Dayhike Date Climbed: Oct 24, 2004 | |
| Dayhiked from Aerial Tramway to Cornell and then on to SJ. Both peaks dusted with a light cover of snow from a small storm a few days prior. Cornell N. side was dicey in its icy blanket. | ||

| tonyo | Route Climbed: east face Date Climbed: Jun 20, 2006 | |
| Set up camp by 5:15 pm in Round Valley for a walk up San Jac the next day. Nothing to do until Cornell started calling. Very fun scramble up the West face, but thwarted at the top. Dicey, airy moves to get onto the summit block. Dropped down and swung around to the East side and easily made the summit. More enjoyable than San Jac. | |

| jtree | Enexpected view | |
| Climbed the Peak originally to get a view of the Mountain Valley, but was quite surprised of the view of the Desert Valley below, and to the North. | |

| Zhenya77 | April Fools Summit (SW route) Date Climbed: Apr 1, 2006 | |
| It was a sunny cool Spring morning. We agreed to arrive to the tram sation by 7:30 am and take the first tram up. Oh, well we took the third one. The hike was pleasant and was accompanied by some fresh snow that was falling from the clouds lighted up by the sun. After leaving the snowshoes near the rocky face we started scramble up the slope. The first move was to traver one "aukward" bolder and with a quick lead by Rinat It was a sunny cool spring morning. We agreed to arrive to the tram station by 7:30 am and take the first tram up. Oh, well we took the third one. The hike was pleasant and was accompanied by some fresh snow that was falling from the clouds lighted up by the sun. After leaving the snowshoes near the rocky face we started scramble up the slope. The first move was to travel one "awkward" bolder and with a quick lead by Rinat Shagisultanov each of s took a turn to climb (top rope) to the summit. Later in the day it was moderately windy, so the summit time was quite short to satisfy everybody's will to climb. The way back was again a pleasant hike through the woods covered with spring snow. It was really enjoyable day trip. | |

| Nate_Thomas | Slippery slope Date Climbed: Mar 5, 2006 | |
| Lots of snow and ice up towards the summit on the south west route. After I slipped and had to self arrest I decided this was not a good place to climb alone and retreated. Had to make the tough choice to turn back 50 feet below the summit. What was a fun 4th class in summer is pretty treacherous in winter. I saw no other foot prints the whole way up, with the snow coming this week, this climb should get more interesting. | |

| Blustery day on the summit! Deb, my son Christian, and I scrambled the SW face. Fun. We actually found some fun 5th class stuff to solo on down at the base of the western shoulder. Maybe Deb will post those photo some day.... | |

| Deb | Route Climbed: SouthWestern face Date Climbed: 27 December 2005 | |
| We had a beautiful day, approx 42 degrees and a some sunshine (albeit windier than hell, 35 mph) to explore this peak. Loads of 3rd class fun on the way to the base and some terrific 4th class exposure heading up the most western side and descended the same. No gear required, just a good grip and a little nerve. On our exit of Tamarack we continued with more exciting scrambling on many adjacent rock croppings. Great stuff! | |

| Those last few moves got my attention! Worthy little side trip away from the san jac crowd. | |

| This was a fun side trip. We were camping at Round Valley to climb San Jacinto when we decided to head up to Tamarack Valley. Cornell just begs to be climbed, so we obliged. This is a really fun climb. The tippy top is extremely exposed, but my brother John made it anyway. Great climb! | |
