| Vitaliy M. | C2C Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2011 | |
| No need to carry heavy camp, although camping in this area would be awesome too. Did it car to car after a long drive from the bay area. Started hiking at about 6:30am and hiked out part ways in the dark. Worth it. Great rock quality, and climbing. Took a 5.10 dihedral variation on 5th pitch. Too bad there are only 3 pitches 5.7 and up. | |

| traverpen | The sun beat us Date Climbed: Sep 1, 2011 | |
| Climbed slow and rapped at pitch 9 because of impending darkness. Pitches 2 and 5 were awesome. Brought pirate chicken along, but he didn't appreciate being stuffed in the pack and no longer squawks right. | |

| Shane Rathbun | Failure Date Climbed: Nov 14, 2010 | |
| Attempted to climb in winter conditions with Aaron. Slogged through unconsolidated snow up to Dade Lakes, setup camp here. Time restrictions and lots of snow on the route lead to us to turning around just below the base. | |

| pratyush | Fun climb! Date Climbed: Sep 25, 2010 | |
| The first two pitches were early in morning, so felt cold. Rest of it was warmer and great fun. The ridge (exposed class 4 in my opinion) was the best part of the climb! | |

| rhyang | Friday the 13th ! Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2010 | |
| Swapped leads with Justin on a nearly perfect summer day -- clear, not much wind, most of the route in the sun (except the crux pitch, of course :) We belayed seven pitches, more or less as per supertopo. I led pitches 1, 2, 5 and 7. The exposure on the upper part of the ridge was fantastic, of course. We rappelled from slings near the summit block. Brought a spare notebook for the summit register, but it seemed to be missing (it was not where I saw it the last two times I climbed BCS via the NE Ridge). Spent the night before and after at Dade Lake -- great views of the Perseid meteor shower ! | |

| fossana | n arete modified Date Climbed: Jul 24, 2010 | |
| With Jascha. Did a 5.9? variation on P2 to the left of the main route starting from the belay and the 5.10 variation on P5 noted in Supertopo. Bailed where the route joins the NE Ridge due to threatening t-storms overhead. | |

| fatdad | A fine day out. | |
| A pretty manageable day from the trailhead with John Reyher in the early '90s I think. We simulclimbed after the wide 5.8 pitch, passing another party en route. | |

| MichaelJ | Is this really 5.8? Date Climbed: Sep 8, 2007 | |
| Soloed this to break in a pair of new approach shoes (It worked: they broke; rock shoes might have been better). Climbed the route in 90 minutes. Eight hours car to car. | |

| Vertigo soul | North Arete Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2007 | |
| Great climb! My first multi-pitch rock climb, believe it or not. After watching me the two days prior, my guide thought I could handle it. Learned a tone on this climb, which will definitely not be my last! Look forward to getting back. | |

| forjan | North Arete Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2007 | |
| Swaped leads with Gibran. We belayed pitches 1, 2 & 5 as per Supertopo and simul/solo the rest. Very fun climb! I spent almost 1/2 hr taking out one of Gibran's #0 TCU's. Somewhat cloudy but no wind at the summit. We stayed up there 40 minutes (~ 13 hrs car-to-car). | |
