| mrchad9 | Arc Pass  Date Climbed: Sep 29, 2012 | |
| Side trip during a day covering Leconte, Corcoran, Mallory, McAdie, and Irvine. Bypassed the lower middle summit by heading directly to the notch... that was enough for one day. | |

| Easy talus and class 3 after a spicy descent off the south side of Marsh. It's a neat route, following the ledge around the peak to the west. Descended to Arc Pass after tagging the middle summit. Trip report | |

| This was my fifth (sixth?) attempt on the peak, the prior ones being in winter (except one), where conditions shut us down every time. A very warm early June day made for a pleasant walk, but unstable snow conditions after mid morning. Lots of wet snow avalanches that day, including two that came down my ascent couloir up to the pass. The direct approach to the notch was not an option due to unstable snow. The descent off the middle summit is definitely old school class three. Ran into a guy who skied Whitney starting on the backside at 14,300, all the way down to the main trail to Lone Pine Lake. He had to dodge a lot of rocks, but I was impressed that he had gotten in such a long run. | |

| Michael Graupe | 2007 Sierra Challenge Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2007 | |
| Last day of the 2007 Sierra Challenge. The main objective of the day was to climb Mt. Newcomb. Starting at Whitney Portal I decided to climb McAdie on the way from Arc Pass. Then descended the class 2 chute to Crabtree Pass, climbed Mt. Newcomb via the class 3 east face. From there I returned to Crabtree Pass and gained the Sierra Crest climbing Discovery Pinnacle from the south. I intercepted the trail and hiked up Mt. Whitney. On the way back I also climbed Keeler Needle, Crooks Peak, Third Needle, Aguille Extra, Aguille du Paquoir and Mt. Muir. A long day in a very beautiful area. 14.5h car to car. | |

| mjrangel | Exhilarating Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2007 | |
| Climbed solo from Arc Pass. I bivied at Sky Blue Lake the night before and headed for the pass at 3:30am, allowing me to experience the first rays of light on the Whitney complex. Near the top of the talus slope, I traversed to the right across the chute in order to reach the notch. Then I followed Secors guide and found the ledge leading around the west side where I saw a large cairn. From there, I went strait to the summit. I was shocked to find the summit reg had actually been placed directly on the summit block which is hardly enough room for a few rocks to keep it from falling off. I was abliged to leave a new SPS log book for future visitors. My climb will be part of a video documentary featuring "Artist's in the Backcountry," produced by the Sequoia Parks Foundation, which has yet to be released. I could see everything from there! | |

| Desert Solitaire | Great Climb Date Climbed: Sep 20, 2006 | |
| McAdie-Mallory-Irvine loop via Consultation Lake and Arc Pass. A great climb. I'd highly recommend going directly to the notch from arc pass (easy, well-ducked class 3 ledges) and then heading straight up from the notch. If you look, there's a class 3 route, but lots of fun class 4 as well. Nice peak! | |

| bechtt | Arc Pass Variation Date Climbed: Jun 15, 2006 | |
| First ascent for McAdie this year with Gordon and John (first timer climber!) Tricky snow ascent up Arc Pass made us avoid the Secor route up the chute. Climbed north side of middle peak (Class 4!) to meet up with the Secor route. Long but very rewarding day. Trip Report and Pictures | |

| Dayhike out of the Meysan Lakes TH, climbing Irvine first and then this one afterwards via the standard route, which is described well by Secor--it turned out to be surprisingly easy class 3 considering how intimidating the peak looks from Irvine. Didn't find the summit register, but I probably didn't look hard enough under the truly enormous cairn that's been built on top of this peak. Cool views and a nice scramble. | |

| Completebum | Route Climbed: E. Chute Date Climbed: September 4, 2004 | |
| A very worthwhile climb up a beautiful peak. Got to watch the sunset from the summit before scrambling down the W. Chute to bivy at U. Crabtree lake. Nice way to wrap up a long day- left TH at 9 climbed Leconte, Mallory & McAdie. | |

| bigelow21 | Route Climbed: West Chute from Crabtree Pass Date Climbed: June 30, 2002 | |
| The chute from the pass is quite loose. We stayed on the solid rock on the north side as much as possible. From the notch between the North and South summit, it's quite exposed but is probably only hard class 2. This has been disputed by some, so an easy class 3 rating would not be out of line. The summit is great! | ||
