| Shirley Lam | Happy times!  Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2008 | |
| Climbed with bighornmonkey, Fins129 and Mal to the summit. I was so proud of Fins and Mal...it was their first time doing this Sierra scrambling stuff and it was great to see the excitement on their faces! | |

| Backpacked to one of the Golden Trout Lakes and spent the night there (11,200'). Summited the next day with 3 other friends...An altitude record for Mal, and a first class 3 for Dan. | |

| rhyang | South (east ?) chute Date Climbed: Aug 2, 2008 | |
| Not sure if I was on the S or SE chute route, but there was sand, scrambling, and fun. Enjoyed the part near the top a great deal :) Beautiful day, traversed to Gould. Dayhiked from Onion Valley. | |

| MtnLdr | Screwed Up! Date Climbed: Jul 13, 2008 | |
| I had been really fortunate with my navigation skills for some time until this weekend. Got fixated on the peak just north of Dragon, and ended up climbing the wrong chute. Not a big deal, but the whole weekend had been marked by early afternoon thunderstorms, and by the time I realized my mistake it was too late, and the party agreed that we didn't want to be caught up on the ridge, exposed, in foul weather. HUGE learning experience. | |

| Climbed with Matthew and Craig (Craig's first class 3 peak). Lots of fun scrambling makes the slog from the lakes worth it. Fun glissade down, though, in perfect snow! | |

| Great 3rd class from the crest to the summit. Summit is not in view for most of the route which resulted in a couple pinnacles being climbed. The 20 foot traverse just below the summit looks more difficult than it is. I may have been the last summit for the season. | |

| Very cool 3rd class at the top made the rest of the trudge worthwhile. | |

| It was a great climb with BlueSkyGirl. Long and plodding to start, but the higher the route climbed, the better it got. | |

| cp0915 | up - SW slope / down - S ridge Date Climbed: Sep 9, 2006 | |
| Traversed over from Mt. Gould. Unsure of the exact route, I dropped all the way down to the lake west of the crest, then scrambled up the SW slope. Nice scrambling and exposed ledge just below the top. From there, I dropped down and followed the south ridge back to Mt. Gould, then hiked out from Kearsarge Pass. | |

| forjan | South Ridge Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2006 | |
| Climbed with ming21. After participating the previous day on the 2006 Sierra Challenge, I wanted an easy day. Mark and I headed out of the Onion Valley trailhead at 7:35am. Went up via the Golden Trout lake trail to the 2 un-named lakes and up the chute north of Gould pass. Climbed the south ridge and summited around 11:40am. Then, traversed on ridge over to Gould summiting by 1:00pm. Back at Onion Valley trailhead at 3:01pm (7.5 hrs car-to-car). | |

| Great warm-up for the three days I got to participate in the 2006 Sierra Challenge. Fun class 3 rock up to Gould Pass -- climbed the wrong peak first than traversed to the correct one. My pics | |

| Deb | Route Climbed: Traverse from Mt Gould Date Climbed: 8 October 2005 | |
| Coming from Mt Gould was a real treat! I can't imagine ascending that nasty ass slope from Golden Trout - we did descend that route though. Made for a nice 12 hour loop and yummy pizza afterward! And what's up with the empty can on top?! Despite the wind and sore toes, Dragon was served up some good cl3 action and not very scarey at all (like the name denotes). | |
