| rhyang | East Face  Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2007 | |
| I'd initially planned to dayhike from South Lake up to Bishop Pass and down into Dusy Basin, but someone in the parking lot mentioned Hurd Peak. I said "well, I just broke my foot a few months ago, so no peaks for me" :) By the time I got to Long Lake I looked up at Hurd and its various chutes and said ... 'yeah, that looks doable' ... before I knew it I'd scrambled up above the lake, endured some of the sand, and then decided some class 3-4 scrambling would be more fun. I ended up a bit north of the true summit, then scrambled along the west side to sign the register. Descended a sandy chute to the far side of Long Lake, and continued on up to Bishop Pass, then turned around and hiked back to my car. The foot didn't feel too bad in stiff boots with lots of ankle support. Pretty tiring day ... hadn't been above 10000' since January. | |

| Deb | The Easy Day - NE Ridge Date Climbed: Jun 2, 2007 | |
| After a tough week and lack of sleep, Dave and I hit the trail at 0800 for an easy Hurd climb before attacking Peppermint Peak on Sunday. Turned out to be quite fun (Class 3) and hair-raising (Class 5) in some sections; great views and so much for that 20% chance of rain, beautiful day with gourmet cheese and olives with my love on the summit. :) | |

| Dave Daly | Ascent Of The NE Ridge Date Climbed: Jun 2, 2007 | |
| Deb and I went out for an afternoon stroll up Hurd Peak and found ourselves on the most enjoyable NE Ridge. We actually turned our adventure into a 4th class soiree' by keeping as close to the steep turet, low on the ridge and stay as true to the natural ridge. A few 5th class moves were thrown in there for good measure. ;) Nice views of Cloudripper and Mt. Goode. Descended via the east slope. A wonderful time with my beautiful wife in a beautiful setting! | |

| Many interesting routes on this peak. Everyone travelling through Bishop Pass can't help but notice this interesting peak. It makes a fine half day outing from South Lake. Trip Report | |

| cp0915 | Route Climbed: East Face Date Climbed: July 18, 2005 | |
| Had an interesting time crossing the creek. Leaped across, fell, struck my shoulder on a rock, jammed my finger (still swollen, tender, and bruised). From there, my partner and I headed straight up the face, landed in one of the sandy chutes, hit the notch, then followed the crest (more or less) of the summit ridge south to the summit. Took a slightly different way down. Any route will do. | |
