Descended the SE slope to Horse Creek for the return leg back to Twin Lakes. Beautiful day! | |

| Matt Worster | via Horse Creek Pass Date Climbed: Jul 14, 2007 | |
| Ascended with Mike H. as a day trip and scout out for a potential visit to the North Arete. Guide books are right, we'll do that as a two-dayer if we pull the trigger on it! Great weather, superb views down to Lyell and up to Sonora Pass area. | |

| kovarpa | Something on North Arete Date Climbed: Jul 8, 2007 | |
| We (+Kris) climbed something on North Arete and I really enjoyed it but it was harder than 5.5/5.6, more like 5.7/5.8. Great time! | |

| forjan | North Arete Date Climbed: Jun 24, 2007 | |
| Climbed with MikeSash on a windy as f*ck day. Froze our a$$e$ off! Lost an hour at the start as I got off route and had to downclimb. There were two other parties as well. Quite a bit of loose rock, too. Got home to LA at 3AM. | |

| metasyn11 | East Couloir Date Climbed: Jun 25, 2007 | |
| Headed up the mostly snow-free and very loose east couloir from Twin Lakes. The climbing was good and so was the day. I didn't want to get off the summit everything was so beautiful and perfect, but eventually I descended via horse creek pass. | |

| Inspiration is found In soft snow and towering rock spires, In fleeting shadows of clouds, Not in the ramblings Of some mediocre writer. | |

| mow10 | N Arete to Double Dihedral (oops) Date Climbed: Jul 14, 2006 | |
| Last pitch of Double Dihedral is one of the best pitches ever. Dihedral curves, pinches off, step to a white face with a 5.8 vertical crack system up to the tip of the pyramid....awesome. | |

| hockeyman | Nice relaxing trip - North Arete | |
| Had planned on 4 days - nice easy trip. Made it up from Twin Lakes in an easy day. Set up camp by the small lake. Summited the next day. No issues. Did the North Arete. A bit hard to find the start. Kicked back in camp on Day 3 and hiked a bit. Decided to hike out that afternoon. | |

| MichaelJ | East Couloir, 5.6 variation Date Climbed: Feb 17, 2007 | |
| Adam and I postholed up to 8.4k (snowshoes in the car) for a winter attempt on the N. Arete. Twin Lakes was pretty dry but a recent storm had left a couple of feet of unconsolidated snow higher up. Ditched the rack and rope at camp and postholed another 4k feet the next morning, leaving the tent at 3am, on the summit by 10. Climbed the E. Couloir and ridge, soloing some 5th class rock to keep things interesting. Couldn't find summit register under the snow. Beautiful weather. | |

| KevinEldon | Missed the trail, sunk in the snow Date Climbed: Nov 18, 2006 | |
| Didn't make the summit. I missed the trail hiking in from twin lakes and rambled through forest some boggy meadows and then took the wrong chute up toward Horse Creek pass. The snow was 2-3 feet deep and way too soft in the drifts at 9000 feet and the chute I picked was a very very bad choice. Oh well... it was a beautiful day and beautiful set of mountains. | |
