Royce-Merriam Saddle  Sucess!

Alternative to doing Gemini with the 2008 Sierra Challenge gang. Attempted to do Gemini but couldn't keep up after all of the climbing on Ruby to Mills the day before. Blew off the scree slope on Royce to have dinner with the wife. Descended via Royce Col down to Honeymoon Lake.

From the Royce Merriam Saddle

Did both Royce and Merriam from the saddle, Pretty fun and solid class 2 scrambling. Perfect weather, just too many skeeters lower down. All in all a great day

From the Saddle  Sucess!

Were going to climb Royce, too, but after Merriam, it didn't look like too much fun.

Day 2 of the 2005 Sierra Challenge. Fun scramble. Climbing on the face reminded me a lot of Middle Pal.

Route Climbed: NE Face Date Climbed: August 6th, 2005  Sucess!

Climbed this with Bob Burds Sierra Challenge posse. A fun scramble on fairly solid rock - definitely much better than the NW Ridge!

Route Climbed: Northeast Face/chute Date Climbed: August 6th, 2005  Sucess!

Day 2 of the Sierra Challenge. Really enjoyed the class 3 scramble up the chute. Wanted badly to hit Royce peak from the saddle separating the two, but rain chased us down.

Route Climbed: Northwest Ridge Date Climbed: August 6, 2005  Sucess!

Climbed this as part of the group involved in the 2005 Sierra Challenge organized by Bob Burd. Came up via Royce Pass and the Royce Merriam saddle. Great views and a fun climb. Started to rain lightly as I was descending but let up by the time I got back down to Pine Lake.

Route Climbed: NE Face (ascent) / NW Ridge (descent) Date Climbed: July 10, 2004  Sucess!

The first stop on a Merriam/Royce/Julius Caesar dayhike out of the Pine Creek TH. I didn't look at my map/compass too carefully and climbed what turned out to be the Northeast Face rather than the East Face as I'd intended. Fun scramble, a bit on the spicy side in places, scary in one or two others when I got cavalier with my route-finding. It took a bit of searching to find a reasonable exit to the summit ridge at the headwall at the top.

Route Climbed: North Buttress, Grade III 5.10b Date Climbed: September 01, 2004  Sucess!

What started out as an ill-fated off route start may have been very well on, unfrequently climbed, route. Great pitches up higher with adventourous 1st-3rd pitches.

Route Climbed: Southwest Ridge Date Climbed: August 23, 2003  Sucess!

I climbed this from Meriam Lake via the Southwest Ridge, which is a fun class 3 route! Great views to the south of Glacier Divide and the Humphreys area.



Meriam Lake is beautiful.



It was a great way to celebrate my birthday!
