| Cool and fun scrambling! My 5th peaks (6th summits) after injury. Still in recovery; this really means something to me. Next time/year: North Arete | |

| rdesota | Beautiful Fall Day Date Climbed: Oct 14, 2012 | |
| Beautiful crisp fall day. Cold in the morning. Thought the crux to be higher up. Climbed with my wife who enjoyed it quite a bit! The quartz was everything as promised - really neat. | |

| What a beautiful climb and so much snow to wade through to get to the base! The crystal pitch was blindly bright. | |

| old5ten | N. Arete var. Date Climbed: Aug 18, 2011 | |
| Climbed a N. Arete variation with the Gazelle. First pitch was up the excellent face just left of the starting dihedral/chimney. Fun climbing and superb views from the ridge up high. Crystal pitch was colorful, but a bit loose. Very alpine feel overall. | |

| Climbed with "pfrank". Paul lead crux pitches since I was tired from 5 straight days in the Palisades. Late September weekday = no a single other person in Crystal Lake basin. Beautiful weather, views, and solitude. | |

| so I couldn't pass off ticking off one of the routes listed in Croft's guidebook :-). Led the first and third pitch of the N Arete & simul-climbed to the summit. Descended the S Ridge, taking a difficult line (cl. 4-5). Then I realized I left my sneakers on the summit, so I climbed up and down an easier line (cl. 3). | |

| rhyang | North Face / North Arete Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2009 | |
| Climbed with Laura to celebrate my 43rd birthday. Led all pitches. Headed up what I thought was the North Arete (5.7) -- turns out the first pitch was the North Face (5.8), according to the Mammoth Area Rock Climbing guidebook. Joined up with the north arete for second and third pitches though. Fantastic crystal just below false summit. Knife edge below true summit had great exposure ! Descended via west face scramble. Cool and windy day, glad I wore long underwear and windstopper, but clear and beautiful views ! | |

| Mary and I camped at Mary's Lake and then did this route in the morning. Fun climbing for 3 pitches, then an exposed traverse to the summit. After getting back to our packs, we did 2 sport routes to round out the day. Sport Routes: Macallan 5.9, onsight Springbank 5.10a, onsight | |
