| SKI | The Awesome  Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2008 | |
| This route was the greatest adventure trip that I have ever had in the Sierras. Crazy weather and a spectacular summit day. | |

| Princess Buttercup | Just a few times. Date Climbed: Sep 19, 2009 | |
| This was the latest, and the first time up in "summer" conditions. Wicked scree but fun scrambling all around. Mostly done in winter/spring. Love the MR/MT loop, especially the glissade down from Trail Crest. | |

| Darren9 | Good stuff | |
| A fun climb in April up the route in snow, some rock to scramble, ice, and a rappel...not to mention a snowstorm to keep things interesting. | |

| Labranche | Spring Ascent Date Climbed: May 27, 2009 | |
| I climbed Mt Whitney with my friend. It was superb. I love that there is nearly no climber on this mountain. The mountaineer's route was beautiful, and fun. The last two hundred feet below the summit were a bit challenging since it was getting late morning and the snow was becoming soft. My best advice is to get an alpine start before the summit push, as the snow will provide more grip. | |

| Kara | First big climb Date Climbed: Aug 16, 1994 | |
| Matt C. and I climbed the mountaineer's route 15 years ago....before there were problems getting permits and before the route was a trail. Just recently climbed Russell (E.R) and had fond memories going up the north fork of lone pine. | |

| granjero | ride this in pow | |
| better to ski this in powder conditions, given the 6.02x10^23 different bootpacks that go up this line. wanted a switch ski descent, but junky frozen spring conditions forced normal turns, heh. | |

| WML | Tragic day... Date Climbed: Apr 26, 2009 | |
| On our summit day we wound up assisting a party that had a fatality due to an ill-advised attempt to catch the sunset from the summit. RIP. | |

| iditarod81 | Some sketchy snow, but a great day. Date Climbed: Jul 9, 2009 | |
| We tried to avoid some of the slush in the notch and wound up on class 4 rock part of the way, so decided to use the highway on the descent. Next time, we'll plan on doing the MR in May or June so we can step into some better snow and perhaps ski down. All in all, it was a fantastic day, though. Great job on route-finding directions, Steve Larson. | |

| lebeelebee | Caught a break in the winds... Date Climbed: Apr 25, 2009 | |
| Ferocious winds finally calmed down for a afternoon summit from UBSL... great conditions/view/fun! Sadly, a group we passed on the way down ultimately suffered a fatality while descending the long chute to iceberg lake... | |

| Clark_Griswold | Perfect winter/ spring conditions. Date Climbed: Mar 19, 2009 | |
| We had perfect conditions to make a summit in winter with what felt like spring conditions. Snow seemed to make the last 2000' easier than it was in summer. This trip made up for the previous failed attempt in December when deep soft powder turned us back. | |
