| Warm, smokey hike. Fires burning this Summer in the American River canyon have made the I-80 corridor look like something out of southern Cal. I would imagine on a clear day the views would be awesome. Another COHP completed. | |

| I was glad to get one more hike in this late in the season without breaking out the snowshoes. Temps were in the low 20's at the start and it was really, really windy. We tried to hit Needle Peak but the winds were way to strong. Hiked with Ol'Walsher. Nice day. | |

| Relatively straightforward hike. We got slightly turned around after we passed under the ski lift, but soon reoriented ourselves. | ||

| Desert Solitaire | North Ridge Date Climbed: Sep 14, 2007 | |
| A nice, easy two-fer for the day. Tinker Knob and then Granite Chief out of Squaw Valley. The trail to the PCT meanders quite a bit and then disappears, but the XC is easy. Nice hike, but would be much better without the ski lifts. C2C time: 6 hrs 45 mins. | |

| Adamus | Main Trail from Firehouse Date Climbed: Jun 10, 2007 | |
| Clear to the switchbacks on the north slope. A few snow patches, but nothing that would slow one down much. The summit ridge is completely clear all the way to Lyon. | ||

| sierramtngoat | West Face via Shirley Canyon Date Climbed: May 28, 2007 | |
| Snow started at ~8000. I had to snowshoe from the Tinkerknob/Granite Chief junction and then climbed steep snow up the west face; there is a 40 degree couloir that drops in where the "x" is: http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=39.19719&lon=-120.28444&size=l&datum=nad27&layer=DRG The trail is not at all visible right now, so if you have good route finding, go for it. | |

| good hike but we lost the trail at a pretty step part below the lift, but later found the trail again | |

| McCannster | From Squaw Valley Date Climbed: Mar 24, 2007 | |
| "Granite Chief Peak Open" said the sign at the top of Granite Chief Lift, so I headed up the Buttress Ridge with my snowboard. Found a relatively new register (placed on March 7 by the ski patrol). Signed the log, hung out for about 20 minutes, soaking up the sun and taking in the views. It was like 65 degrees up there! | |

| I coveted this peak when I saw it from Tinker Knob a few weeks ago - finally came back to summit and enjoy some of Tahoe's new fall colors. | |

| surgent | A Cal Completion | |
| Went with Adam Helman and Edward Earl to celebrate Edward's 58th and final California County. Edit: Later discovered not to the the Placer County HP. Oh well. It still counts as a great climb. | |
