| fedak | From Bayview via Dicks Pass  Date Climbed: Jul 11, 2009 | |
| Nice summer outing from the Bayview Trailhead. Little bit of snow left on the trail to the pass. Dog and a guy on a cell phone on the summit. Massive horde (~25 people) were headed up when I was heading back. Think everyone mistook this for Tallac. Stopped and tagged both teats of Maggie's Peaks on the return. Pics are here. | |

| Dayhike from Glen Alpine TH. After climbing Mt. Tallac traversed the ridge to Dicks Pk. Continued on to Jacks Pk and then Pyramid Pk before returning to the car which made for a very long day in a great area which I hadn't visited yet. Some Photos. | |

| tooantsy | my favorite wilderness! Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2006 | |
| My favorite wilderness in California! Did a day hike to Dick's for the 4th of July. We took a 'short cut' through the slabs of rocks - do I recommend it? No, it was treacherous. Views were definitely rewarding though! :) | |

| Nice dayhike with some funky ice in places and some cool frozen lakes along the way. Sick views from the top and never saw a soul all day. | |

| Probably the best views in all of Desolation Wilderness. This summit is well worth the effort. | |

| Climbed the NE Ridge from Dick's Pass before traversing to Jack's Peak. 2-3 Class 3 moves on the Ridge were made interesting with some early snow. More snow forecasted for Tuesday, time to throw some wax on the snowboard! | |

| metasyn11 | Jacks->Dicks->Tallac talus traverse Date Climbed: Jun 20, 2007 | |
| Climbed Dicks midway between a solo 20+ mile Jacks->Dicks->Tallac talus traverse from Glen Alpine. It was a gorgeous day in every respect. The only people I saw all day since near the trailhead were on this summit. Also, the only summit register, a makeshift one in a nalgene bottle. | |

| Nick K.’s note in the summit register says it better than I ever could: "...he grinned and slung the pack over his shoulder & pondered the question: the type of question which knits the seams in the cosmic nothing. Glancing out across the lakes & valleys extending like fingers into forever he said 'Precisely where the world meets the sky.'" | |

| sierramtngoat | NW Ridge from N side of Dick's Lake Date Climbed: Aug 15, 1999 | |
| I don't think very many people climb this peak, especially by the route we took. The route wasn't anything special, just a pile of scree; the summit was very much worth it though, so if you hear of a decent route on Dick's, take it. | |

| Indiana Mad-Man | Route Climbed: Eagle Falls Date Climbed: July 28, 2005 | |
| Excellent one day climb with surpisingly little snow but of course excellent views. A pretty straight forward walk-up but a couple of small climbing moves made it complete. A perfect afternoon spent in the Desolation park. | |

| Matt Worster | Route Climbed: from Eagle Falls Date Climbed: 29 October 2005 | |
| Little more snow than I expected, starting at 8500 ft, but only getting to 1 ft deep at the top. Cornice already forming on the north side of the peak. It was a little sketchy after the subpeak, I agree, especially with a little snow and a little ice. | |

| Abraxas | Route Climbed: NE Ridge from Dicks Pass Date Climbed: October 8, 2005 | |
| Hiked the popular Eagle Falls-to-Tallac route (as a day hike) and, since it goes so close to Dicks Peak, couldn't resist tagging the top. There was only one sketchy section up a chute toward the base (after going around the first minor peak), and it was just as sketchy coming down. We had three people up there, and none of us probably would have done it alone (but none of us was a climber). The views from the top are good, but not spectacular like Tallac. All the same, it's fun to look ever-so-slightly down on Tallac from there. After Dicks Peak, the climb up to Tallac from Gilmore Lake was harder than expected, and the hike down to the Tallac trailhead was brutal. It was a good hike, but I wouldn't be enthusiastic about doing Dicks Peak again on that route (on a day hike, anyway). The smart one in our group left his pack at the bottom of the chute. | ||
