| dhoffman | Fun peak Date Climbed: Sep 2, 2010 | |
| Went up the inviting chute at the base of the largest lake atop Bishop pass. Much lose rock in the actual chute. About 3/4 the way up, the chute ends at a dark wall. It took some short class 4 climbs to get over the ridge into the next chute to the north, but easy class 2 to the summit. Coming down, followed a steeper chute on the north side that led into a snow patch. Much better choice for going up I would think. Solid class 2 the whole way. This route ends with a giant boulder in the middle of nowhere between the large lake and the small lake to the north. It's hard to miss. | |

| hgrapid | Wonderful climb up - not so great down Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2010 | |
| This was a wonderful climb. It took about 1h 30 minutes from Bishop Pass to the summit. I had to wait for my other hiking buddies. The way down wasn't bad at first, but the lower slopes had some loose rocks, and it was quite difficult the further down towards Bishop Pass that I went. Still, a perfect day. Surprised I did not find a summit register. | |

| With Al on the 8th day in came up from Dusy Basin which was a bitch. Took no time to summit from the top of the pass, but Al had enough and he waited there at the saddle. The hot springs and beers in Mammoth beckoned. | |

| Iron Hiker | New Altitude record Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2009 | |
| This was my first Sierra peak and the highest mountain I ever climbed until I did Whitney the next year. Ascended from Bishop Pass up the western slopes, and ran into some mild altitude sickness near the summit, but still made it and was enthralled by the spectacular views! Great introduction to the High Sierra. | |

| seano | West slope Date Climbed: Aug 24, 2009 | |
| Nice stable boulders and a great view of the Palisades. Best of all, the current summit register had cute kitties on the cover, and someone's grocery list on the inside. 2h20 from South Lake. | |

| Clark_Griswold | North West Face Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2009 | |
| I came up from South Lake and the Bishop Pass and then more or less went directly up the northwest face of Agassiz. I tried my best to keep it class 3, but kept running into easier stuff. The best part of the climb were the views of the Palisades and Hurd Peak at the beginning. | |

| thexcat | From South Lake Date Climbed: Aug 9, 2009 | |
| Solo dayhike from South Lake. Felix felt ill, stayed back. Left at 6am. Got to base of mtn at 8am, summit by 11am, down to base of mtn at 1230pm and finally back to TH at 230pm, drove to Tahoe afterwards. 2000ft of scrambling was intense without gloves. My hands hurting for days afterwards. Fun. | |
