| Mlasky | Sportier route  Date Climbed: May 12, 2013 | |
| Started off on the standard route but broke off and took a snow line to the east to obtain the face. Stayed toward the south of the standard route. Had a little snow to work with below the saddle. Quite loose. Recommend the standard route. Took it back down. Still a great climb with great views. Look out for tics at high camp...most we've seen in awhile. | |

| boisedoc | finally good snow Date Climbed: Jun 19, 2010 | |
| after a season of crummy snow conditions, finally good snow to crampon up. A little glissading on the way down. The views into Upper Cedar Creek and the surrounding peaks were excellent. With weather moving in, we made for a quick trip. The road to the trailhead is not great but also not as steep as I had expected. | |

| splattski | Little Mac combo Date Climbed: Jun 19, 2010 | |
| Got the full meal deal. Came off the too-warm and too-sunny east ridge of Little Mac and once onto the cooler snow had perfect cramponing to the summit of McCaleb. We summitted at about 10:40, so glissading on the hard crust would have 'velcroed' our good pants, necessitating that we walk off the first 1500'. Had only been at the car for 5 minutes when the first thunder sounded. Whew! | |

| IdahoSummits | Snow Climb Date Climbed: May 15, 2006 | |
| Climbed with IdahoKid. Like he said a great day. The drive to the trailhead is the crux of this outing as it is confusing down low and steeper than heck up high. | |

| SawtoothSean | Route Climbed: West Ridge Date Climbed: December 18, 2005 | |
| No snowshoes nor cramp-ons needed on this day. It was clear and cold (-10 when we started). We went up Little Mac (11,071) first ,a steep ridge, then down to the prominent saddle between Little Mac and McCaleb. The scrambling was 50 /50 windblown snow / rock. Things went well and we did 5hrs and 20min car to car. | |

| Andinistaloco | Route Climbed: south face Date Climbed: 2003 | |
| Was trying to solo a new line on the south face and had to back off a couple hundred feet from the summit. The climbing never got terribly technical - mid 5th class I'd guess - but the rock is absolute crap. In fact, I have old spaghetti sauce that's harder. Worse yet, there are almost no places for pro. My guess would be that this face stays unclimbed for a while. | |
