| Sarah Simon | Up the West Face, down the East Face  Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2012 | |
| We wanted to squeeze one last peak in before headig to LAX to grab our flight back to Colorado Springs. Hurd was a nice, quick outing that fit the bill! Neat views of surrounding peaks and lakes. Chocolate Peak looks especially neat from Hurd. Enjoyed our tour, getting to experience both sides of the peak. | |

| Took the gear for a walk, got snowed off of the North Rib. Would recommend the Long Lake approach over the Treasure Lakes approach for that route. | |

| boyblue | From Long Lake Date Climbed: Sep 23, 1978 | |
| Not sure about actual date... With two friends from work who'd never been to the High Sierra before. I wanted to take them up what I thought would be an easy summit. Roper's Guide doesn't actually mention the east face, but it looked easy to me. We made it to the summit, but not without some class 3 scrambling that was a bit scary to them. They were courageous, though, and we ended up following the north ridge from the summit (more class 3 in places) just to get a good look back down on South Lake. This peak is an excellent view point. Secor credits Pete Yamagata (1000peaks) with the FA of this route, but we were there about 13 years prior. It's highly unlikely that even we FA'd this obvious route next to such a popular trail. | |

| Bob Burd | East Face / South Ridge Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2008 | |
| Day 6 of the 2008 Sierra Challenge. Climbed the East Face of Hurd in the morning with Brice W, then traversed to Trapezoid via the South Ridge of Hurd and Trapezoid's NE Ridge (the South Ridge was a better scramble). Met up with Adam J on Trapezoid and traversed the crest to Johnson. Fun day. Trip Report | |

| From the north end of Long Lake, made our way to the base of the large buttress. We stayed to the right of a big sandy chute and encountered 3d and 4th class rock (the latter I didn't expect). Nearing the top of the "crest" it got particularly steep. We then headed south for a ways until we finally came to the summit. On the descent, we opted for the large sandy chute toward the south end of Long Lake. | |

| fossana | nw slabs Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2008 | |
| With t-storms hitting the Sierra for the past 3 days we decided to do something short, but with fun technical sections. Climbed the slabs next to the big dihedral (just to the right of the NW arete) with Jascha. Thunder to the north and dark clouds to the west, but we stayed dry. | |

| fossana | ne face/ridge Date Climbed: Jun 8, 2008 | |
| Jascha and I were headed up to do Cloudripper (after my unsuccessful attempt to ride us up to the Humphreys TH on my F650GS) when Hurd caught our eye. Our detour did not disappoint. Like Deb & Dave we encountered everything from Class 3 to thought-provoking icy/licheny Class 5 hand cracks. Descended one of the snow-filled E gullies. | |
