| chicagotransplant | South Ridge from Piney  Date Climbed: Aug 20, 2011 | |
| Climbed with Brian and Ben. Started at Piney and left the Kneeknocker trail to head for the saddle between Powell and East Corner. Dropped slightly to the Cataract Creek basin but stayed high contouring below the Eagles Nest-Powell ridge. Ascended boulderfield to talus gully to ridge just north of the major difficulties of the traverse. Continued on to traverse the ridge to Powell, plenty of scrambling, mostly class 3 and 4 with some bypasses of the higher difficulties. | |

| astrobassman | Daytrip from Piney Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2011 | |
| Climbed with Ryan. I am surprised this approach isn't more popular. The scree gullies to gain the ridge are no fun, but once on the ridge there is good scrambling. Like Scott says the views from the top are impressive. It took us 11 hours, but we weren't moving fast by any means. | |

| Took advantage of the good weather and did a LONG car shuttle traverse from Eagles Nest to Powell. Eagles Nest to Powell traverse is filled with gendarmes! See TR. | |

| Started at the surprise Lake Trailhead and climbed Eagles Nest's East Ridge. Straightforward with one tricky downclimb to pass a big gendarme. Continued on to Mount Powell via the connecting ridge. | |

| Nelson | Route Climbed: Western slopes from Mirror Lake Date Climbed: July 5, 1978 | |
| My first Colorado summit attempt. Turned back on steep rock at about 12,500' after deciding I had no business being up there alone and inexperienced. A month later I enrolled in a basic mountaineering school with the Colorado Mountain Club. | |
