| ephrat | Dayhike from Onion Valley Date Climbed: Jun 24, 2012 | |
| Absolutely grueling day! Left Onion Valley at midnight, returned 23.5 hours later. The return hike back over Kearsarge Pass was brutal. It was an absolutely gorgeous hike, though. Took a much better route back to East Lake (instead of going between the two creeks, we stayed to the North. Terrain was super mellow and less brushy. | |

| Michael Graupe | Brewer - North Guard Dayhike Date Climbed: Jul 26, 2008 | |
| Started at 2:30am from Roads End and made it to the summit of Brewer via Sphinx Col in a little more than 8 hours. I could not find the register and spent some time searching and also climbed the pinnacle which I believe is the true highpoint. Then climbed North Guard and returned to Roads End at 7:30pm making for a long 17 hour day. | |

| same trip as squishy and aahz. a *little* loose?? Brewer is one big pile of rocks, and though i'm glad i did it, i wish we'd stayed an extra day and done North Guard as well. | |

| Hyadventure | East Ridge/Sphinx Lakes loop, day hike, July 2004 | |
| Always meant to write a TR for this hike but never got around to it; here's the summary version; Left roads end at 4 East Lake by 8 - broke/dislocated a finger while getting water Summit around 2 – kinda slow because of pain, surprised to meet a nice couple on summit, blew off plans to do North Guard and headed out via Sphinx Lakes Picked up the Sphinx Creek Trail around 9, just after dark. Back to trailhead after midnight, but my ride (wife) had left two hours earlier. Hiked six more miles down the road back to camp at Cedar Grove. Ended up being a 32+ mile day hike | |

| Not that I think it too likely, but if you are approaching Brewer from the Roaring River area don't try to take the Brewer Creek drainage up from where it meets RR. It was a big pain due to steep loose dirt and rocks. The summit on the other hand was fantastic. The climbing was okay but the view was great. | |

| Leucid | From Roaring River | |
| Brewer Creek Drainage is a nice approach from the Roaring River area if you hike up to Moraine Ridge on the trail first, instead of trying to scramble up from the bottom of Cloud Canyon. | ||

| derbilly | Brewer col Date Climbed: Oct 4, 2006 | |
| Acsended via Brewer col from East Lake. I had originally intended to first climb South Guard, but navigating the ridge with a fresh 6" of snow didn't look like too much fun. Instead I came back to Brewer col and ascended the S ridge of Brewer and descended to E ridge back to East Lake. Excellent views. | |

| Kerstin | Failed attempt | |
| It was July of 1995. We hiked in over Kearsarge Pass to Vidette Meadows. The mosquitos were far worse than anything I later experienced in the Alaskan interior during my honeymoon. It was a struggle to breathe! The next day we hiked to East Lake. The crossing of Bubbs Creek was quite dangerous--water to crotch level. I set out the following day by myself up the East Ridge. I took Secor's description a bit too literally and followed Ouzel Creek for way too long. The route I took was class three in many places, which was fine but it slowed me down. After the heavy winter, there was still too much snow to follow the correct route. I made it up to the last steep section before the summit ridge and had to turn around. If I hadn't turned around my partner would have started trying to find me in the dark. It was so frustrating! A bear tried to break into our tent at Kearsarge Lakes on the way out. It was a very stressful trip which my partner didn't really want to be on. I really want to go back to this area though! | |
