| Vic Hanson | A 3fer  Date Climbed: Oct 2, 2012 | |
| We hiked up the Meysan Lakes Trail and camped the 1st night on a saddle above the lake on the ridge up to Irvine. Then we traversed over to Mallory and LeConte before going down a gully and camping below Pickering. The next day we climbed Pickering, Joe Devel and Chamberlin and then down to Crabtree Lakes. The following day we went from Crabtree to the JMT and and climbed up Discovery Pinnacle before going down the Whitney Trail. | |

| The sandy slide down to Meysan was a fitting and desirable end to the day after four others in the area. | |

| soslaw | East Couloir Date Climbed: Sep 14, 2012 | |
| The complete absence of snow and the rubble filled couloir looked like a suffer fest from Camp lake. Wasn't as bad as it looked. | |

| Quadaxial | East Couloir Date Climbed: Aug 1, 2011 | |
| Spur of the moment decision to do the East Couloir. Very fast moving up, quite soft on the way down. Great views. | |

| After following the SC'11 crew up to Consultation Lake, I split off and went straight up Irvine. The climbing was mainly 4th class with sections up to 5.6. | |

| gregorpatsch | East Chute Date Climbed: Sep 26, 2010 | |
| Climbed the East Chute with my good friend Adam Foley. The chute was a bit loose, and not so fun coming down. It was a warm clear day on the summit. Great views of Whitney. Camped at Meysan Lake. | |

| Clark_Griswold | Whitney Views Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2009 | |
| I did this via the east chute from Meysan Lake while camped there for several nights. I love the views from Irvine and its probably the closest I'll ever come to the Whitney Main Trail, since I don't plan to hike it. My only regret was not climbing Mallory. Next time. | |

| seano | From Mallory Date Climbed: Aug 2, 2009 | |
| Tried Secor's suggested class 3 direct route, but ended up countouring way East. A tiring sand slog at the end of a Le Conte-Corcoran-Mallory-Irvine traverse, but the summit was a nice place for a short nap. | |

| chudder | Up East Couloir, down East Chute Date Climbed: May 30, 2009 | |
| Fun day on Mt. Irvine from a camp on the moraine above Meysan Lake. The East Couloir was firm in the morning under cloud cover with a cold wind and light snow. On top, I got some fleeting views of the surrounding peaks, excluding Whitney, when the clouds would momentarily clear. The sun only came out in time to soften the top few inches of the East Chute on my descent, making for a wet downclimb and glissade. Crossed paths with a friend I hadn't seen in 14 years who was descending the trail after an aborted attempt at Lone Pine Peak due to low visibility. | |

| bighornmonkey | Great climb... Date Climbed: May 3, 2009 | |
| Climbed the East Couloir of Mt Irvine from a camp near Grass Lake, then traversed over (2h) to Mallory sticking to the ridge. Very windy and cold weekend, but awsome glissage down to Meysan Lake | |

| 96avs01 | Splitn the E Chute Date Climbed: Apr 18, 2009 | |
| Splitboard descent of the East Chute. Hoped to traverse to Mallory before descending the E. slope, but had to abort as the snow was turning into crap. The activity around the Portal reminded me of why I avoid that area like the plague in the summer. | |
