| Dave S | East Chute (variation) Date Climbed: Sep 7, 2007 | |
| Solo dayhike linkup of Irvine, Mallory, and LeConte. Great day! Decided to try the chute just left of the East Couloir (the Class 4 East Couloir from Secor's book). At the fork I headed to the right and it got a bit interesting...a 20 ft crux section that wasn't difficult climbing (I'd say 4th class or at most easy 5th), but the rock was horrible and crumbly. After making it through that it was 2nd class all the way to the summit. Left a new summit log on top and continued on to Mallory. | |

| with Vendulka. First peak of the day. The chute wasn't as loose as I was afraid. Great views of the Whitney crest. | |

| sierramtngoat | East Couloir/NE Ridge Date Climbed: Jul 8, 2007 | |
| Climbed the loose and snowless East Couloir with buddies Becket and Marc to about 13,200, at which point we scrambled to the NE ridge; I've got to say the upper part of the NE ridge is a fun scramble; I'd rate it class 3. | |

| Perfect day for an easy scramble. Surprisingly little wind. The chutes on this peak suck. They're full of loose scree and larger rocks that are very difficult to walk on. The ridges are classic Sierra scrambling. Excellent views of the entire Whitney area. Worth the effort. | |

| Desert Solitaire | Only the East side of this peak is interesting Date Climbed: Sep 20, 2006 | |
| McAdie-Mallory-Irvine loop from Consultation Lake. Total RT time: 11 hrs, 30 min after much routefinding mistakes on the traverse to Mallory. Secor has a warning about descending from the West side: "warning: as a descent route, this gully is impossible to find" - well, whaddaya know - I had no beta on the descent and was lucky enough to find this gully! Next time will climb the awesome looking E. Buttress. | |

| bechtt | Route Climbed: NE Ridge (ascent) / SW Ridge (descent) Date Climbed: 1 Oct 05 | |
| Perfect day -- more snow than expected. Easy climb to NE ridge from Camp Lake (Meysan Basin) than Class 2 to the top (dodging the deep snow drifts) | |

| aleasure | Route Climbed: East Buttress V, 5.9 Date Climbed: 8-26-05 | |
| I thought this was just an OK route. Nice and long, but not sustained and not particularly great rock. I would also add that its more a grade IV than V. The approach is also more like 6 or 7 miles and not even close to the 3.5 Secor lists. Great views from an uninspiring summit. 14 hrs car to car. | ||

| Dayhike out of the Meysan Lakes TH, continuing on to McAdie and returning via the Whitney trail. Carried axe and crampons, but never used them all day. Irvine's NE Ridge was an easy but surprisingly enjoyable scramble, with some outstanding views in a truly beautiful area. | |

| The Meyson Lakes trail is now my favorite trail in the Sierra; probably one of my favorite places to camp except for all the mosquitoes. There was lots of snow left up there from this last winter making for an fun trip up the couloir and great views of the surrounding peaks from the top. | |

| First one up for the new year. The snow in the chute was perfect for climbing on and made a great glissade on the way down. Had a great and lonely view from the summit. | |

| crag | Route Climbed: NW face from Arc Pass Date Climbed: September 18, 1999 | |
| Spent rthe better part of a day trying to figure out a way up the NW face from Arc Pass but finally gave up. Lots of fun scrambling, but no summit. In retrospect, should have gone up McAdie. | |

| thebeave7 | Route Climbed: South slope via Mallory's Northwest ridge Date Climbed: August 29th, 2003 | |
| After the fun class 3 down climb off Mallory's Northwest ridge I was forced to chug my way up the South slope, which is slippery and oh so tiring. Irvine was the last peak on my traverse from Corcoran. | |
