| johnm | Lower Sam Merrill to Castle Canyon Date Climbed: Feb 5, 2011 | |
| Nice Saturday morning tagging Echo and then on up to Inspiration Point. Headed east along the fire road about 100 yards and then followed the use trail to the top of the south ridge following it east up and down about a half mile to summit of Muir. Very Nice views there and along the way. | |

| Nice views, trail a bit overgrown. Summited as part of the Echo, Inspiration Point, Muir triplet. Heading up the trail from Inspiration, the turnoff is easy to miss on the right hand side. | ||

| Sanchez350 | Never again on this route... Date Climbed: May 2, 2009 | |
| I climbed Muir once before via Echo Mountain, Castle Canyon, etc., but out of boredom I decided to climb it via the south face, the most primitive of routes. Nothing but animal trails through painful and crowding bushes and about 3500' gain in 2 miles. Started at a small clearing from the Altadena Crest trail. If you don't mind a LOT of bushwhacking and some borderline class 3 near the top, go right ahead. | |
