| My second time up this ridge, this time in the summer. It sure is mellow when not covered in snow. Great day hike from the portal. I took my friend and coworker up this peak; it was his very first back country experience and climb. He did phenomenally well considering the commitment and the exposure. Before we returned to the portal, he was already talking about doing it again. Another one hooked, eh :) | |

| NewDayRising | E Ridge Date Climbed: Sep 13, 2005 | |
| Hiked with my brother. Traversed over from Carrillon. Not as terrifying as I was expecting. Lost lots of time trying to avoid going back over the East Ridge, lookin' for the S chute. Lost lots of time crossing the willows of LP Creek. Took 20hrs to get back to the TH. | |

| jtree | A cold night indeed! Date Climbed: Sep 23, 1996 | |
| Got a late start out of Whitney Portal with my brother Mark. We ran into some ice high up and ended up getting benighted above 13000 feet without bivy gear. One of the longest nights in recent memory. | |

| Augie Medina | Mt. Russell via East Arete Date Climbed: August 30, 2003 | |
| Started from our campsite at Upper Boy Scout Lake. The lower portions of the route from this point are no fun (talus/sand slope), but once at the Russell-Carrillon saddle, things get much better. The knife edge ridge connecting the two east and west summit areas is outstanding! | |
