| mjholmes | Loved It!  Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2012 | |
| Thoroughly enjoyed ascending the north ridge. Mostly class 2 with a short section of scrambling near the top. Snow nearly gone from the saddle. | |

| What a treat to return to this basin after many years; finally got to stroll along this dreamy ridgeline and float up the short scramble to the summit. A blue bird day despite the 2300 acre fire burning 36 air miles NW at Cape Horn (Halstead fire). Last night at Sapphire's camp was really smokey, but by this morning winds had moved the smoke out to yield a virtually clear day. | |

| There was snow at the top of the short scramble section near the top. Had to stay higher above the cornice, which was slightly more challenging, but very do-able. Heard the cornice crashing down while heading to WCP9, which made me thankful I stayed higher. Very cool peak. | |

| Really fun, combined with WCP-10. Sapphire lake made for a beautiful basecamp. Enjoyed the fishing after the climb. | |

| ALM4400 | Fun summit Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2009 | |
| The basin below makes for a perfect base camp for several surrounding peaks. This being the most dramatic from below. Easy hike with just a little hand to rock near the top. | ||

| sprosseda | West ridge Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2009 | |
| From bighorn basin found goat path over to west ridge. Went around some minor cliffs, then 1,000 feet straight up west ridge. Magnificent views. Was also very windy. Came down easy north ridge and went up easy WCP-9. Then down the super fast scree slide back to the basin. Very beautiful mountain shining like a white crystal in the sky. | |

| I agree that this is basically a class 2 hike (at least in August when there is no snow near the summit). Great views all around | |

| Climbed Lee after WC-9. Not much class 3 on the route, I never even had to put my trekking poles away. After Lee we headed over to climb 11,272 (which was a really fun scramble). Base camped at Sapphire lake. | |

| With Moni with an approach from the Ocalkens Lake side. No snow at the top of the ridge, just Class 3 rock. | |

| SawtoothSean | South Ridge Rugged Date Climbed: Jul 13, 2008 | |
| Started from 4th of July TH, then over to Antz Basin and up the prominent south ridge. From the top of that I had to downclimb and make a tricky traverse over broken and steep rock past a vertical tower (west side), then up to the true summit. Deciding to avoid that difficult traverse, I went down a steep slope into the hidden valley SW of the peak. I saw a mountain goat here and he didn't bother even looking at me. Luckily I found the 1 non technical slot that got me to the valley floor on that side. I then followed that drainage to the Warm Springs trail and back over to 4th of July TH. 12 hour day. | |

| This my favorite peak in the White Clouds and I'd wanted to climb it since the first time I saw it. My ninth and final summit of a 4 day backpacking trip, climbed the north ridge from WCP-9. Here’s a write up and some photos. | |

| Combined this with a summit of WCP-9 to the North. Did WCP-9 first and then down to the saddle and up the north ridge. The snow climb at the top is a fun little rush to finish off this peak. | |
