| thebeave7 | Route Climbed: Up East Slope, down North ridge Date Climbed: August 29th, 2003 | |
| Peak number three on the day. The down climb was a lot more fun. Bob will be happy to know that the West side of the North ridge is a fun Class 3 down climb. I will submit both a trip report and a route report for this. | |

| asmrz | Route Climbed: From Meysan Lakes Date Climbed: June 2002 | |
| Penelope May and I climbed Mt.Mallory from the upper Meysan Lake in June 2002. We took about 5 hours to hike the Meysan Lakes trail on Saturday. Camped at the highest lake below the East Buttress of Mt. Irvine. Early Sunday, hiked up one of the "Five Finger" gullies (see my picture) to the ridge between Le Conte and Mallory and from there, to Mallory's summit. The problem turned out to be our descent down the gully that Secor's 2nd Edition recommends going up. It was steep and hard snow. We had some "interesting" downclinbing facing in, with crampons and ice axe, down this gully. But we made it down safely and after packing up our tent, took 3 hours to hike back to our car at Meysan Lakes Trailhead. This can be easily done on a two day weekend. Mt Irvine and Le Conte as well. | |

| Bob Burd | Route Climbed: East Slope (ascent) / East Chute (descent) Date Climbed: Aug 25, 2002 | |
| Day 9 of the 2002 Mountaineers Challenge. Dayhiking from Whitney Portal, three of us climbed LeConte first. I left the others for an attempt on Corcoran (I got lost, but found some fun scrambling while I blew three hours) then came back to climb Mallory. I thought it would be just a slog, but it turned out to have some fun class 3 at the summit. The big mistake of the day was descending the East Chute. Just finding my way down to the entrance was a pain, as I descended twice from the east ridge only to have to climb back out when I got cliffed out. Finally reaching the chute, it turned out to be incredibly tedious and loose. No short cut there! Trip Report. | |

| I climbed it with my friend Mike. Despite an early start from the Portal, we did not arrive back at his truck until after midnight because of some unexpected delays. Still, it was a great day in a beautiful area. We had hoped to climb Mts. LeConte and Corcoran that day, too. | |
