| traverpen | Fun Climb Date Climbed: Oct 7, 2012 | |
| Great first simul-climb. Easy and fun. First third seemed like all 3rd and 4th class. | |

| muajee | 14 picthes of fun w/o pros  Date Climbed: Sep 8, 2011 | |
| I had a rack on me and my buddy carried the rope. Fun and easy walk/scramble-up. Never placed a pro and the rope remained on his back. Before we knew it, we were standing atop. :O ...reached the summit way faster than anticipated. In fact, the approach took longer than the actual climb... It was awesome, but felt almost too short. Fantastic view! Next time I will solo it without all these "dead-weight"... | |

| dkangas | Very enjoyable Date Climbed: Aug 24, 2012 | |
| Started simuling about halfway up. Though we looked, we never found either the left 4th class exit nor the 5.7 hand-crack. We just kept climbing after going right around the roof, basically going straight up, till we saw an obvious right-trending finish just below the actual summit. Trying to follow the 14 pitch supertopo beta on this would be truly absurd. Just climb it! | ||

| Did in four big simul pitches. Lots of fun easy climbing with many variations to bypass other parties. | |

| hubix | Great climb Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2011 | |
| Soloed the route except of the last 1 1/2 pitches which we simulclimbed. Descent was longer than expected with some snow and slippery slabs. | |

| PellucidWombat | Great Simul-climb Date Climbed: Jul 31, 2010 | |
| Led/simul-climbed the NW Buttress with Chris Terry while Dave Millar and Joel Bernier soloed it beside us. The climbing was easier than expected. Clean, fun rock, easy pro, and easy routefinding. The 5.7 direct finish was also very fun and secure climbing. Chris and I descended the SW Ridge, but took a shortcut descent off of the ridge somewhere between the standard route and the West Face route. | |

| Soloed with Blair and Mr Dreamy. Beautiful climb with rock so much like Tahquitz. Incredible views from the top too. | |

| biz | NW Buttress Date Climbed: Jul 31, 2009 | |
| Simul-climbed the whole route except for the last pitch, which was a nice crack that lead to the NE side of the summit. There were 3 of us and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. | |

| bearbnz | Kinda short Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2009 | |
| Was anticipating a long route, but with simul-climbing and easy scrambling, it went by pretty fast. Pitched out a few at the top as we were on one of the 5.7-5.8 variations that led directly to the summit block. | |

| haishan | Solo NW Buttress Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2008 | |
| Having climbed the route roped a couple times before, enjoyed it even more solo. Climbed around the left corner towards the top, easy going but pretty hairy exposure! Met several other parties on the route... | |
