| soslaw | East Arête Variation Date Climbed: Sep 12, 2012 | |
| Ascended a chute on the north east side. To avoid loose rock in the chute I climbed the rock on the left side. This became class 4 and as difficulties increased I traversed left which deposited me in the correct chute at the point where one traverses left into chute 2. This was class 3 as advertised and made for a much easier down climb. | |

| asmrz | My 1st Palisades summit Date Climbed: Aug 8, 1976 | |
| Kathy Crandal and Paul Harris led LA RCS trip to the Palisades and Mt.Winchell in August of 1976 and let me come with them. We hiked up the East Arete and on the summit met Tim Ryan and John Mendenhall. This was my (humble) introduction to some well known Sierra pioneers and also my first Palisades summit climb. | |

| From camp at Third Lake. About 100 feet below the summit it started to snow. | |

| Sierra Challenge alternate 09-hideous boulder field, but climbing the peak was lovely-very cool airy summit and palisade views. | |

| A really fun class 3 route - mostly scrambling, but had to pull out the ice axe for a couple of snow traverses. | |

| First summit in the Palisades. Remains the standard by which I judge of Class 3 routes. | |

| Climbed from our camp at Sam Mack Meadow. Crossing the moraine was a pain but once there the chute and summit were fairly straightforward. Found a bottle of Jameson and two shot glasses sitting next to the register. | |

| Alternate for 2009 Sierra Challenge. Fun route once you get off the moraine. Hard to spot the direct approach from Sam Mack Meadow. | |

| Started from camp in Sam Mack meadow - most of the waterfall chute was covered with snow, which I cramponed up before dawn (made for nice glissading on my return :) Stayed on the arete for most of the way. When it became a true knife edge I traversed into the chute (maybe 100' from the summit ?) I was surprised at how much fun this was ! Pictures don't really do it justice. The class 2-3 chute seems to parallel the arete for most of the way, making for a nice descent route. Atop around 10am. Beautiful day in the Palisades, though I could see clouds coming in while I descended. | |

| Fun climb, snow from the 2nd lake on. The face only had a couple of small patches up high. | |

| A fun solo, exposed but not so bad. Great summit. | |

| Great climb and a great view. Exposure plus high winds equal great pucker-effect. Approach was a bitch (shrinking glacier left lots of talus hopping.) | |
