| Darren9 | Cool, literally  Date Climbed: Aug 28, 2010 | |
| Very fun day of scrambling on these peaks with SMG. Despite it being August, it was very cold and began to snow lightly on us as we were leaving. Go figure. I think #1,2,and 3 are the best and would recommmend doing them as the finale. | |

| gordonye | #9 and #3 Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2011 | |
| Hakan, Vlad and I went to climb Echo Peaks to celebrate Hakan's completion of CA 14ers. Vlad lead #9 in 1 pitch and struggled with terrible rope drag. There were several airy traverses and the chickenheads were breaking off, making for a spicy climb. When descending we found the hard way that rappelling off the north side could not be done with a single rope. After fighting stuck rope on the first rappel on the south side we finally got off #9 and went to bag #3 and break out the champagne on the summit. | |

| Did all but #9, 4, and I think 6 (the third hardest - definitely doable, but looked a little sketchy from where I was). Still a lot of fun scrambling, some airy ridges - went up #5 (I think) and downclimbed the backside which proved interesting. Could have taken more time but was working on the Cathedral Traverse. | |

| WML | echo wandering | |
| wandered about the ridge finding fun lines, attempting to avoid loose rock, and enjoying an easy afternoon in the hills on Echo Peaks and Echo Ridge. Highly recommended if you have an afternoon to kill and if the crowds are too much to go solo Cathedral | |

| seano | Solo all but #9 Date Climbed: Aug 23, 2010 | |
| #9 was just a bit much for me to solo, which was discouraging but not unexpected. Trip report | |

| Romain | Echo Peaks #8, 9, 5, 7 Date Climbed: Jul 26, 2007 | |
| Climbed 4 of the 9 Echo Peaks on my annual daytrip-by-plane to the Sierra. With David Victor and Rene' Renteria. We wasted a lot of time on #9 after our rope got stuck on the first rappel. The final few feet of the ridge of #7 were outstanding. Photos on my website soon. | |

| dpatmalloy | 7 out of 9, great day Date Climbed: Jul 13, 2007 | |
| With my fiance Sarah, climbed all except for #4 and #6. She led #9 in two pitches, and it took two raps to get down; we removed **really** old slings and replaced with new on each rap. No entries in the register since Bob and Matthew last year. We will have to go back to get those other two another time, #4 looks like we will definitely want a rope again, and #6 was just a little more exposed and difficult than I wanted to downclimb at the end of a long day (which included an hour of rest for me to deal with random indigestion). We need to climb them all...they are depicted on the engagement ring that a jeweler friend designed for us earlier this year! | |

| birdhead | Echo Peak #3 Date Climbed: Jun 29, 2007 | |
| Solo adventure up the West Face route on Echo Peak #3. Fun scrambling, although I was a bit surprised at the exposure on the final ridge portion. Ascended Cathedral Lakes trail and descended via Budd Creek with perfect weather. | |
