Fun Solo Traverse  Sucess!

Bagged my first solo class 3! Felt pretty exposed, especially during the ridge traversal, but I got a lot more confidence as the route progressed. The rock is significantly more stable near the crest than down below. The section with the leaning "bookcases" is much easier as a mantle from the opposite direction (towards Lyell) than as a chimney in the forward direction (toward Maclure summit).

SE Ridge Dayhike  Sucess!

Another “quick” 27-mile trip to tag Maclure via SE ridge. Quite fun when staying on ridge proper; found some Class 3+ moves along the way. Better views than Lyell.

After Lyell  Sucess!

Maclure is fairly straightforward, the first half is more of a boulder field and the top half has a more class three climbing on solid rock, with a few narrowish ledges thrown in. Sierra Club register box is bolted on summit.

Scramble up SE Ridge  Sucess!

Tough scramble up from the majestic Lyell-Maclure col, had to rope on the way down because it was so steep. Nice SPS emblem register on top.

Lyell and Maclure Dayhike  Sucess!

Ascended SE ridge from the col after bagging Lyell. The rock was better than it looked from afar. I stayed on the top edge of the ridge for most of the scramble, and this was better (more enjoyable) than the class 2-3 ledges below.

Maclure & Lyell Dayhike  Sucess!

I headed up the ridge from the col after climbing Lyell. Near the 'spiky' granite 'pinnacle' where the easy 2nd class ends, a use-trail forms and it even seemed to be well ducked for a while. Unfortunately, I couldn't resist the call of the ridge proper when the use-trail continued low and I don't know how the rest of the use-trail goes. The ridge proper was slightly loose but a fun and mellow scramble up and down.

From Lyell-Maclure Col  Sucess!

Climbed the ridge from the Lyell-Maclure col. It took 45 minutes. This is actually a very nice scramble if you stay on the very crest of the ridge. It has nice exposure and nice moves. Difficulties are passed on the climber's right (North) side of the ridge. Most of the climb is class 2 with the occasional class 3 move on the higher reaches. Recommended if you have time after descending Lyell. The view of Yosemite is actually better from Maclure as you can see Half Dome. Trip report

Tuolumne Meadows  Sucess!

Dayhike of Lyell & Maclure from Tuolumne Meadows. Maclure's east ridge is a really fun climb with solid Class 3 if you stay directly on the ridge. Cool views of Mt. Lyell from the summit.

Traverse from Lyell  Sucess!

Not as loose as it might appear, nice views of the glacier both north and south. Long slog home, though... ;-)

From Lyell  Sucess!

Over from Lyell like most everyone. With Vitaliy and Max. Perfect conditions and views.

Found the route to be quite enjoyable and not as loose as expected. Inclement weather just held out for us.

SE Ridge  Sucess!

Overnight trip, cold and snowy. I wish I brought my skiis to descend the thousands of feet of untracked power on the Lyell Glacier!

Lyell and Maclure  Sucess!

Climbed the east ridge from the Lyell-Maclure col, with Samantha. Very broken, loose rock but not too steep. Took us about an hour each way from the col. Nice view of the summit plateau of Lyell, most of which we couldn't see from the Lyell glacier below.
