| Dave Daly | SE Face w/ Deb Date Climbed: Aug 9, 2008 | |
| As usual, had a great day in the Sierra under beautiful skies with a beautiful partner! As for the route.....waaay overated. Classic? Perhaps the ridge and a small section in the beginning but the junk in the middle reminded me of Laurel....loose and chossy. People are missing out on an overlooked classic in Darwin Canyon: the NE Ridge of Mendel...."spicy Norman Clyde 4th class", sustained in nature and much cleaner rock...all the way to the summit. Check in the box. | |

| Did the SE Face with perfect weather eventhough we followed a stinky mule pack the entire trail. Think I smelled shit the whole climb as well. ? Fun ridge, old approach shoes, and bullshit descent. Great views of Desolation area. | |

| The last couple hundred feet of this route are enjoyable and it has its own distinct summit block. | |

| graham | Emerson SE Face Date Climbed: Sep 30, 2007 | |
| Climbed some weird version of the SE Face route (my bad route finding skills) with Tony and ET. The lower part of the route wasn't anything special until we came upon the final summit ridge and the windy conditions, WoHoo! Now that was spicy fun! Descended the South Face gully back to Piute Pass trail | |

| forjan | North Couloir Date Climbed: Mar 25, 2007 | |
| Climbed the north couloir as a day hike with Dave German and Brad Mastros. Great snow conditions on 3/25/07. This is a fun, early season snow climb (about 40 degrees, 1000 feet long). You top out 100 feet below the summit. ---------- Date Climbed: June 29, 2006 Route Climbed: SE Face Climbed with Mark Ingram (ming21). Even though we brought a 50m rope and a light rack, we ended up soloing the route. I went up first and tried climbing the left hand crack but the rock was wet from water running down it and had to downclimb. Then, I tried climbing the face in the middle between the left & right hand cracks and it worked although there was definitely a spicy traverse move to get back to the main "wet" left hand crack. Mark thought this was the crux of the route. After that it was all enjoyable class 3/4 climbing and surprisingly sustained (especially near the top). | |

| Without a doubt, a Sierra classic. Climbed this with the wife, Caroline, and we had a perfect day. The ridge is the best part of the route. | |

| Completebum | Classy Date Climbed: Jun 24, 2006 | |
| I dayhiked the SE Face with Rick. The two main cracks were waterfalls when we got there so we went up a variation 15 ft to the left and rejoined the route on the slabs. The final ridge to the summit was a classic finish to a fun route. | |

| gordonye | Route Climbed: South slope Date Climbed: October 2, 2005 | |
| Attempted to day-hike it with Eszter Tompos, but the high winds and our need to finish the day early caused us to turn back after reaching ~12300'. Fall color was phenomenal in the entire area. | |

| thebeave7 | Route Climbed: West Ridge/South Face Date Climbed: 9/25/05 | |
| Beautiful spring day walking through the changing aspens. Windy all around, took the short cut up the dry creek bed from below Puite Lake. No more than class 2, saved a lot of time. Then ascended the West Face to the NW summit. Winds were strong(30-40mph) and air temp was around 35, so my fingers were numb within 10min. Followed the ridge as close as possible, though I was often affraid of getting blown off. Fun scramble along the ridge, quick scree ski down the most Easternly chute on the South Face. Eric J Lee | |

| PellucidWombat | Route Climbed: SE Chute - descended West Ridge and South Slopes Date Climbed: August 7th, 2005 | |
| Interesting climb - I wish I could have done the SE Face/Ridge w/ Bob and Glenn, but the water was too much for me. The SE chute was nice at the bottom, filled with a lot of bouldering moves, but the top 2/3 was a slog w/ a lot of branching dead ends. I discovered the hard way that you can't just walk down the SW slopes, even though it looked doable on the topo! | |

| Desert Solitaire | Route Climbed: South Slope Date Climbed: August 6, 2005 | |
| Easy climb - rest day from 2005 Sierra Challenge. Left N. Lake at 1:30 pm. Followed route from Loch Leven up the slope. Stick with Secor's directions and its a fine climb with a few class 3 moves. Summit at 4:45 pm, back to the cars by 7 pm. | |
