| murraymcleod | Climbed via the usual glacier route.... Date Climbed: Jul 15, 1972 | |
| ...but back in ancient days when the glacier was really something (must have extended almost to Tuolomne Meadows back in the 70's, if my memory is correct!). All I really remember is lots of mosquitos at the small lake base-camp. Climbed with wife #1 (Susan Stubblefield) on honeymoon hike! | |

| hockeyman | Awesome trip! | |
| Hiked in Lyell Canyon. Camped high - about 10 miles in. Left camp early the next morning with light packs. crampons and axes. Did the Class 4 ridge to the summit. Getting on the ridge was the crux. Great views of Banner and Ritter. | |

| thebeave7 | Glacier Direct Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2006 | |
| Dayhiked from Tuolumne Meadows, climbed directly up the glacier. Lots of snow this year, the headwall was a bit steep for my trail runners, but a nice climb nonetheless. | |

| We had come in the previous day from the Rush Creek Trailhead and set up camp below Donohue Pass. On summit day, we crossed Lyell Glacier to the notch between Lyell and Mt. Maclure and then up to the top of Lyell. We then descended back down to the notch and picked up Mt. Maclure's Southeast Ridge (talus and ledges; Class 3) to Maclure's summit (12,960 ft.). | |

| POWERJL | Route Climbed: East Ridge Date Climbed: May 25, 1996 | |
| Climbed with my cousins who were not prepared! Spent a cold night in the rocks on descent, managed to get Altitude Sickness (only time ever!) due to having just driven up from the Bay area, Cousin got a ticket for camping to close to a creek. (hey it was night!) But is was all worth it because it was a great climb! | ||

| Climbed with Mt. Maclure. As i remember, we had to get off the glacier sooner than we wanted which led to a couple of exciting moves. | |

| First trip up was a day hike up and back from TM. Long day! Second trip was a weekender enhanced by my partner's fly fishing our dinner. When I went over Donahue Pass a couple of years ago, I was disturbed by how far the glacier has receded. | ||

| Langenbacher | Route Climbed: Lyell Glacier Date Climbed: Summer, 1977 | |
| With Fritz and Dave, from Tuolumne meadows and out to south through Lyell-McClure Col (class 3-4), Hutchings Creek, and down the John Muir Trail to Happy Isles. Fritz got hit on the head by a bear while sleeping outside wilderness ranger station. We lost Dave for 2 days but finally found him jumping off a bridge into the river in the valley. Climbed the Glacier without ice axe or crampons - lucky for use there were a lot of other people and their footsteps in the hard snow - I wouldn't do that again. Going down Lyell-Maclure col with packs wasn't easy - probably wouldn't do that again, either. | |
