| Took the opportunity to climb this in a low snow year. Ice on the talus and frigid wind made this less enjoyable than my usual summer climbs. Register had been placed Sept 2010 and already had a couple dozen entries. | |

| Northern Yosemite's high country views are the payoff. North faces of Conness and North Peak seem within touching distance. | |

| One of my favorite dayhikes. Up in a half day trip from Virginia Lakes, splendid views all around from the summit. | ||

| Basically I followed the outlet stream from the trail to Burrow Lake where I camped. No significant difficulties were encountered on the approach- talus was well consolidated and the thickest brush was easy to avoid. Stamina and patience were all that was required. Climbed from Burrow Lake to the summit via east ridge. Mostly class 1 or 2. Returned via south ridge to Shamrock Lake and followed trail back down to Lundy TH. | |

| My one chance of getting to an area that was not too crowded over the holiday weekend. There was a bit of haze on the west side due to some smoke in Yosemite. Other than that the views were good. | |

| Nice dayhike from the Virginia Lakes trailhead. After leaving the trail, I had the mountain all to myself. A little cool and windy, but the views were worth it. Didn't find a summit register. | |

| Climbed this peak with Greg Enright on a search for an overdue day hiker. We summited to check the summit register to see if the missing hiker had signed in, then descended the North Ridge (the subject's reported ascent route). We found the missing hiker, unfortunately deceased, on the east side of the north ridge. She had apparently taken a loooong fall to the glacier/snowfield in the cirque below. We declined the helo ride out, and continued back to the trailhead on foot. | |

| No ice axe, no crampons for the first time this year! At last, a nice class 1 hike on a perfect day. Easy, easy ascent on mostly consolidated scree/talus. | |
