| SageHawk | Great views into Yosemite  Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2004 | |
| I've bagged this one several times. Always entranced by the views to the south into the high granite peaks of Yosemite. This latest climb was with my son Stephen, who beat me to the summit. | |

| RussThaw | more direct route Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2009 | |
| Another perfect weather day with my summit partner Melissa Thaw. Found that by going to Koenig lake, then proceeding up the use trail to the right, you go up a direct route to the summit. russ thaw | |

| Vertigo soul | Memorial Day corn feast Date Climbed: May 25, 2009 | |
| Perfect corn snow, beautiful day and had the summit to myself...what more can you ask for! Was going to climb and ski the Y Couloir, but runneled up real good with some rock debris and didn't look too stable with all the sun hitting it. Instead, just hit up the NE bowl for some great turns! | |

| wyopeakMike | a fine view | |
| I will always remember the day I hiked up to Leavitt's summit. It was when I lived in Auburn and was doing a lot of exploring in the region. The view to the south of the Emigrant Wilderness and Northern Yosemite was superb. I remember it being one of the most inspirational vistas I had ever seen. I live now in Wyoming for 15 years, but I still remember that view as something else. There were so many beautiful summits to gaze at, I could barely leave the summit. I remember it as a chilly clear day in the fall, and I drove back to Auburn a very happy hiker. I hope to return again. I always dreamed of Tower Peak after seeing it that day. | |

| MtnLdr | Didn't know it had a name! | |
| Can't remember exactly when it was that we climbed this one, but it was winter, '01 or '02 (can't remember), and we didn't know the mountain had a name back then. Climbed with a large group of fellow instructors from the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center. | |

| kovarpa | Y couloir, twice Date Climbed: May 17, 2008 | |
| Climbed up, thought about skiing this down - to the entertainment of other skiers on the summit, just before dropping in one my skis released and went all the way down the couloir... so down I went and back up again. Dropped in at about noon but chickened out after some 50 feet... climbed back up and skied the north slope instead back down Blue Canyon... I wish I was a better skier. | |

| 96avs01 | Shredn the N. Bowl Date Climbed: May 10, 2008 | |
| Quick morning solo trip with the splitboard up the North Bowl. The couloirs didn't look appealing, so even with a partner it would have still been the N. Bowl for descent. Conditions were firm for about 300', and then nothing but prime Sierra spring corn! | |

| thebeave7 | Blue Canyon/PCT Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2007 | |
| Second time up from Blue Canyon via the NW ridge, beautiful route. No snow this year(low snow), made short work of the route. Then descended the PCT over to Sonora Peak. Not a person on the peak. | |

| derekp62 | Day Hiking Leavitt Date Climbed: Jun 9, 2007 | |
| Day hiked Leavitt Peak with some friends from the Loma Preita Peak Climbing Section. I was surprise at the amount of snow we had to traverse. You can see for 50 miles for this peak. | |
