| Teamed up with fellow madman Squishy for a spectacular whirlwind tour. It was about 26 hours from Sacramento to the summit and back. First attempt was via the west ridge in June. Was turned back a mere 200 feet from the summit due to lightning. Very scary! The North Ridge was beautiful and great fun. The routefinding on the descent was interesting... | |

| My partner and I had the whole trail and mountain to ourselves on the day after Labor Day. The summit register could use another notebook. I signed a piece of paper someone left, but everything else was really full of signatures. | |

| Summited North Peak via the NW Ridge and continued along the North Ridge to Conness. Nice exposure and great views! It was great to go light and do it car-to-car in a day. The West Ridge looks awesome...I'm planning to go back to Conness for that one! | |

| cp0915 | South Slope via White Mountain Date Climbed: Aug 1, 2008 | |
| The otherwise uninteresting outing finally got semi-interesting at the top. Perhaps we should have done another route, but I wanted White as well. | |

| Fun hike with Glenn Baker. On our way down from Tahoe, we decided to hike this one. It was a perfect day with nice light cloud cover, and heavy mosquitoes. Still, a great hike, the east ridge was very nice. | |

| The east ridge is amazing! Recommendation: stay on the actual ridge crest as much as possible for more fun. | |

| Zzyzx | N. Ridge Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2007 | |
| Solo after climbing NW Ridge of North Peak. Met 3 guys from East side at the beginning of the ridge a we had a nice chat. One of them told me to climb the 1st tower on the right and it was indeed much better than going on the left side. Fun scramble, especially the last section after the 2nd tower. | ||

| Very long day. Need to simul climb until after the second rappel. Descent route is hidden behind ridge; easy to go toward White mtn which is the wrong way. | |

| forjan | North Ridge/West Ridge link-up Date Climbed: Sep 15, 2007 | |
| Soloed with Michelle and Deron (~ 9.5 hrs car-to-car). Next year: link-up North Peak's NW Ridge --> Conness North Ridge --> Conness West Ridge. ---------- Route Climbed: North Ridge Date Climbed: September 16, 2006 After a solo of the left couloir of North Peak, I continued on to the north ridge of Conness. On the second rappel from the 2nd tower, my 50m rope got stuck about half way. So, I had to go back up and free the rope caught under a flake. Was dragging ass because it took me 2.5 hrs from the summit of North Peak (10:45am) to the summit of Conness (1:15pm). My heavier mountaineering boots had something to do with it. Back at Saddlebag Lake parking lot at 3:55pm (~ 9.5 hrs roundtrip). ---------- Route Climbed: West Ridge Date Climbed: September 3, 2006 Climbed the west ridge with awagher. Long day. CTC=14.5 hrs. ---------- Route Climbed: North Ridge Date Climbed: September 6, 2003 Climbed the North Ridge with fellow SCMA member Steven Sauter. Route-finding was not a problem. We climbed unroped 'til we got to the top of the 2nd tower (just where there is a cordolette cord with 2 rings on it). We rappelled down the 2 pitches (this being the crux of the climb), and then I led all the pitches to the summit. After the 2nd rappel, all the pitches to the summit looked to me as class 4 with maybe a few 5.2 moves. We had good weather (clear & sunny), although it was windy on the ridge most of the time. ---------- Route Climbed: East Ridge from Alpine Lake Date Climbed: October 20, 2002 A nice fun climb. We were a party of four: mdostby, jimconsid, Will and I. We started walking around 6:35am from the hiker campground on Saddlebag Lake. We hiked cross-country close to the south side of the ridge coming from Saddlebag Lake dam. Took a snack break near Alpine Lake and then went onto scrambling up the East Ridge to the summit plateau. There was a cross cairn up there to mark for your way down. The final push was a short moderately exposed class 3 section. I reached the summit at 10:43am. Will, Jim and Mike followed. We all had lunch at the summit while enjoying the views. We had a fantastic day: sunny, almost windless, and very clear. We could see Half Dome clearly, Mt Lyell, Mt Dana, North Peak, Boundary Peak in Nevada, the Cathedral range among others. All in all, a great day! | |
