| See Ambret's comment and trip report. Kearsarge is a slagheap of a mountain. When you finally slog to what passes for the top, you get a smashing view of the ... Onion Valley parking lot. By the time we got near the summit -- and as far and high as we were going to go that day -- we didn't even bother to take photos of ourselves in the place. Suggested alternative: Kearsarge Pass -- good trail, good exercise, almost as high, and the views are sublime. | |

| Climbed with brother Jon. He thought I was "unusually scared of lightning" because I came down fast when bolts starting hitting the neighboring peaks. | |

| Ambret | Kearsarge Slog Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2011 | |
| Slogged up Kearsarge from Onion Creek Road with hiking buddy Bruce. We found the trail fading in and out, and the scree loose until we got above 11,000 feet. Reached the east bloc and decided to declare victory, even though the true summit was a bit to the west and perhaps 150' higher. Neither of us found this a particularly fun ascent. | |

| Up via Lilley Pass, down the South chute. Damn chilly for June, nothing like hanging out on the summit with the sun shining on you while its snowing and blowing to beat hell. | |

| Major slog up the ridge from near the road to Lower Onion Valley. I was surprised to find the trail and partial stone building just below the summit ridge. Trip report | |

| Had an extra Sunday after finishing another trip early. Nice half/day hike- enjoyed the scree slide down more than the way up though. Superb views. | |
