| mengbo | Day Hike  Date Climbed: Nov 6, 2012 | |
| Left home at 3:30am and arrived the trailhead at 7:05am. Plenty of snow on the way, but ridge was free of snow. Weather was nice. Route: Ebbetts Pass TH - Noble Lake - Highland Peak - Silver Creek CG Thanks for the man who drove BMW giving me a ride back to Ebbetts Pass! I forgot to ask his name. | |

| David Naylor | Highland and Silver Date Climbed: Aug 22, 2012 | |
| Spent the night at Nobles Lake and climbed both Highland and Silver Peak the next day. Saw a bear going in my direction above Nobles Lake. No register found on Highland Peak. Silver Peak still has the old register in the rusty cans dating back to the 1980's. Made my way back to the mid-point of the saddle between the two peaks and descended into Nobles Canyon. Back up to campsite and packed out. 15 satisfying miles for the day. | |

| LincolnB | Noble canyon shortcut Date Climbed: Jul 26, 2010 | |
| Cut straight across Noble canyon from Ebbetts pass rather than detour to Noble lake -- saved distance but not sure it was worth it due to the extra elevation. Had to wait out a thunderstorm near the peak -- then ran down as another storm came in! | |

| Climbed via the south west ridge. Still lots of snow in the area, used crampons in the early morning to help negotiate frozen snow fields. Great climb. | |

| Snow covered the trail nearly entire way, making routefinding rather difficult. We were on PCT for a total of ~15 minutes. Amazing views once on ridge. Only spent 5 minutes on summit with Tang as we were pressed for time. | |

| Marmaduke | Hiked With Doug Mantle Date Climbed: Oct 15, 2010 | |
| I left the PCT parking area at 7 am. About half way I met up with another guy and we ended up climbing together. I asked what other area peaks he has climbed and he said many. I asked about his favorite and his response was well I've hiked the 7 summits. His name was Doug Mantle. Very nice guy, what a great day! | |

| From Noble canyon. 5.30 hours round trip. Low pressure system's high winds nixed the traverse to Silver peak. | |

| Great hike up the southwest ridge, the day after Hawkins/Patterson and before Mokelumne. Good time of year for this area. | |

| wyopeakMike | a great peak | |
| It was in the early 1990's when I lived in Auburn that I hiked up Highland Peak. The hike is awesome, going past Noble Lake and then up the ridge was a great experience. I remember the ridge as being very fun with spectacular views all around. I fun experience to remember. I went fishing at one of the lakes near the pass after the hike and I remember having bats fly by and hit my fishing line making me think I was getting bites. | |

| J Fox | Great little peak. Date Climbed: May 31, 2009 | |
| Sierra thunderstorms kept us from climbing in the Palisades so we went local and hit Highland Peak insread. We climbed the Southwest Ridge. There was still a lot of snow and it rained quite a bit during the climb so it made for an adventurous day. | |

| My wife and son (6m old) went up. Didn't summit due to loose rock about 10,500---made us nervous having son in backpack up there. | |

| Great dayhike with the new snowfall enhancing pictures and aiding travel over scree. Ran out of time for the traverse to Silver. | |

| Nice early morning climb. Spectacular wildflowers. Unfortunately the views weren't great because of haze and smoke. 6h car to car. | |

| Thank you Peter and Jason. I have been to the mountain tops before, but I was always on my way to somewhere else. Now I have summited. Now I am a climber of mountains. P.J. | |

| My first real scramble. And it was FUN! Climbed with my buddy's PJ and Peter. Made it to the top by 11:30 am and we decided to pass on the Silver Peak traverse. But we made it back to camp by 2 and played cards for the rest of the afternoon. Perfect day of climbing. | |
