| Jeff Bance and I climbed this awesome route in 9 pitches, following the SuperTopo description. The first pitch was an exciting way to start with a pretty big run-out and the early-morning cold only added to the excitement. Otherwise, really fun, exposed climbing on awesome rock. We climbed the route in about 5.5 hours and descended back to our camp at Iceberg Lake in a little over an hour. Hiked out the same day and had dinner at the French restaurant in Independence before driving to SLC. This route was a great end to my 2008 summer season. | |

| Climbed the East Ridge from Upper Boy Scout Lake with several CMC members. Great climb, will definitely do it again one day. We successfully missed all the 4th of July traffic on the mountain as we were one of only two parties on the route. | |

| Standard route of N Fork to Carillon saddle ILO Rockwell variation climbed the first time - the only variation from the normal route seemed like loose talus instead of loose sand - to saddle and on to East Ridge. A great reminder this is so much better than work! | |

| Climbed with Vendulka from UBSL, a great ridge climb with a real alpine feel to it and not a single other soul on the mountain. | |

| Thought this was a class three. Well, not for me. The ridge was just too exposed to feel comfortable on a solo trip. | |

| Once more Jim reminds me to sign in. Went up the Rockwell, down the scree as a day hike from the Portal, accompanied by BW and 4 tough women. Great trip. Really not that bad if you stay on route, but becomes exposure-creepy off-route. | |

| Solo hike of Russell / Whitney and Muir in a day. I almost gave up on it before getting to the ridge. When I'd climbed it before, I'd taken the first couloir past the Upper Boyscout to get to the Russell / Carillon plateau, but this time I decided to do the Rockwell variation. It was terrible! All that loose rock and send made the upward progress very slow, and the only reason I kept going was that I didn't want to go back down the same way. Once at the plateau, at the beginning of the E. Ridge, I decided to go for the summit. Descended the South Face (right side). | ||

| Matt Worster | Russell Carillion Date Climbed: Sep 2, 2007 | |
| Russell, then Carillion, with some nice thundercracks as we shot up Carillion. We took Rockwell variation up, standard route down. The Rockwell variation isn't necessarily better, but it sucks less on the way up. East Ridge of Russell was nice scrambly fun. Wish there was more of it! | |
