| Man, finally made it up this big thing, with kk6yb, Dan, and Mike. After two previous trips up the Shepherd Pass, once to look at and walk away from Williamson, once to climb Tyndall, it was good to finally make it up (and back). The bowl is quite a trudge, and the chimney gave me a challenge trying to reach holds my 3 taller companions had no trouble with. But, wow! My 3rd 14er. | |

| The climb and descent was completed over four days in winter with my good buddy Kostas Stamatiou. Passing the horns was the hardest part. This route made me really hungry for like two weeks. | |

| Climbed once from Shepherd's pass and once from Bair's creek. IMHO, the toughest 14er in california. | |

| From Shepherd's Pass: Almost turned back just below the summit because it was getting late and had no idea how much further it would be. Good thing my partner had gone ahead and radio-ed that I was only 10 minutes away and to keep going! South Fork: route finding is a little tricky, especially in winter, but I prefer it over the Sheep's Pass route by far! | |

| One of my very first Sierra climbs. I remember lots of snow and good conditions for kicking steps. Great views - great mountain. | |

| There was very little snow to contend with on this Memorial Day summit. | |

| Really lucked out on the weather. Temps were nice and cool on the hike in and out. Climbing the chute was a bit tedious, but the class 3 at the end was fun. | |

| mybackyard | West Face, Fri the 13th Date Climbed: Jul 13, 2007 | |
| A fun climb after a hellish approach. Secor's route accross the bowl is easy to find. Just stay between the two lakes and head for the North shore of the highest lake. At about 11am, after my descent, I saw two guys starting the same route. One of them later got off route and fell, breaking his arm and recieving a nasty gash across his forehead. On the way back to camp, I scrambled up Tyndall's North Rib which was a very cool climb. | |

| That's one long hike. I thought the bowl would be a lot flatter - was I wrong... I'm glad the fires and smoke stayed away from us. Good climb with ChuckO. Excellent views and a great campsite by the pass. | |

| psuthe | The bowl kills Date Climbed: Jun 30, 2007 | |
| Great peak, the chute wasn't bad at all (except that it's at alltitude), but the bowl completely deflated my enthusaism...it's not hard, it just wears on you. | |

| skotty | No more rocks please Date Climbed: Jul 1, 2007 | |
| Enough with the boulders! Wow that's a lot of rocks, and what were the engineers of the Shepards Pass Trail thinking? Nevertheless, awesome peak; worth the effort. | |

| We camped by the lake closest to the black stain on the west face. On Saturday we climbed up the chute and chimney. The class 3 chimney was challenging and fun for someone who has barely done any class 3 before. | |

| Made a solo attempt on the west face but came up short. Might give it another shot before July 15. There's still plenty of water on the way to the pass, and some snow right before the top of the pass but no big deal if you're going up late in the day. | |

| From Anvil camp, solo hike/climb the West Face Route. The chute was relatively free of snow/ice and progress very fast to the summit, then to Tyndall to finish the day. Brought my skis up by Anvil camp, but not enough snow to ski. | |

| boogie0069 | George Creek Date Climbed: May 5, 2007 | |
| 5 day trip up George Creek. Yes, it is a serious bushwhack. If you're wearing shorts, expect blood. Bear-ravaged Marijuana farm at 7,000 feet! First camp at 7900 feet, second camp at 11200. 4 nights with no tent and 10 degree temps/snow storm. First attempt thwarted by high winds. Summited on Cinco de Mayo. Talus scramble was most difficult part. Thanks to whoever cut steps up the bowl the previous weekend. Great view, crappy register. | |
