| Deb | Baby Morrison  Date Climbed: Jan 22, 2013 | |
| Crotch-deep powder to barely front-pointing on thick 6" crust...we climbed NE face of Mono Jim and had a splendid ski descent....until we got to the frecious bushes and rocks barely covered in powder. AARRG! | |

| mengbo | East Ridge Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2012 | |
| Did not find the use trail on the way up, so I stayed on the ridge all the way up. It was a good choice since rocks were more solid than the loose. Found the used trail on the way down. | |

| wfry | NW Ridge - Embrace the Horror Date Climbed: May 21, 2011 | |
| Accended the northwest ridge from Convict lake with an SMG team of nine climbers at 6:15 am. Returned back to base camp via the east slope at 7:15 pm. The loose rock and exposure on the accent route made for an exciting and dangerous climb. I think everyone should climb this route at least once. It's tedious that for sure but very rewarding at the end of the day. | |

| Climbpeaks | East Slope via Hanging Valley Date Climbed: Aug 29, 2011 | |
| Started at the Convict Lake parking lot and proceeded South...bushwhacked our way to the East Slope confluence with Mono Jim. Summited and enjoyed the view. Great climb. I was turned away by a thunderstorm in 2003 and thus was my last attempt at the summit...until now! Finally got it. Descended down the Variation(in between Mono Jim and Morrison)...boy that hanging valley seems to drag on forever. | |

| Dayhiked from Convict Lake, with Tang. Always a pleasure to be in this area. With the exception of the very first 10 minutes, the approach and route finding was smooth sailing. Terrain a bit loose on e slope, though not as bad as I had imagined. | |

| Climber Dave | East Slope Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2011 | |
| Went up a mixed snow and rock route on the east slope, one the way down went a bit more south to avoid the steeper loose sections and was able to glisade about 90% of the route. Beautiful weather, finally a weekend without hi winds. Excellent climb with a great group! | |

| tdoughty | NW Ridge Date Climbed: May 21, 2011 | |
| With Daren and SMG crew. What and adventure! Loose rock scrambling up the ridge, with a completely snow covered descent of the eastern slopes. (last time I hit this summit was in '75?) | |

| Darren9 | NW Ridge - very exciting Date Climbed: May 21, 2011 | |
| camped at Convict Lake. Left camp at 6:30 and 9 hours later our party of nine climbers summitted via the dangerously loose but spectacular NW ridge, a 4600' ascent from camp. We climbed all the way on the ridge proper and climbed much 3rd class and possibly some 4th, along with some snow. Only recommended for parties with a strong stomach for exposure and chossiness. Descended E. slope. Morrison is a spectacular and deadly mountain. Viva Alpinismo! | |

| Easy, but for some excessively wet/steep just below the summit. 'Highly recommend the hanging valley for the view it affords. | |

| Bob Burd | Baldwin - Morrison Traverse Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2010 | |
| Part of the 2010 Sierra Challenge, did the two mile traverse with Sean O'Rourke. Too loose to recommend it as a worthwhile endeavor. Trip Report. | |

| ronyay | Jubels McAle strikes again | |
| NW ridge up, descending the east way back to Convict and a gloriously chilled Pabst. A wobbler nearly threw me off the ridge, but she's not the smarmy Eiger everyone said she is. | |

| seano | From White Fang Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2010 | |
| Loose, but not as scary as from Baldwin to White Fang. Sierra Challenge. | |

| mrchad9 | With Point 3765 Date Climbed: Jun 18, 2010 | |
| Took the Tobacco Flats 4x4 road to it's end, then up the valley and the right side of the east slope. Secor lists the ridge to Point 3765 1/2 mile to the south as class 4, but kept it to class 2 by dropping off the ridge, still needed ax and crampons. The summit blocks are class 3, maybe class 4 if you don't go the best way as I did (true summit is to the southeast, I went up the wrong one first). Decended from the saddle 1/3 mile further to the south. | |

| The east slope variation route is both shorter and more scenic than the regular east slope. | |
