| bighornmonkey | Easy Route Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2008 | |
| Supertopo says that this route is 14 pitches long... We simulclimbed it in 1.5 hours, with a couple stops along the way to rerack. Going down (to Tenaya Lake) from the summit was my least favorite part. There was a party of 2 free soloing the route. they were on their way to Matthes Crest, then Cathedral Peak...all that in a day. | |

| Really fun, but three on a rope can be slow. | |

| desmo13 | Great day Date Climbed: Aug 9, 2008 | |
| Great day, 1st time doing a 3 person rope team. Walked a lot of pitches, roped a few too. Found a way to make hard at the end :) | |

| Misha | Nice to revisit Date Climbed: Jun 16, 2007 | |
| Etsuko and I took two of our beginner friends up the route. We solo'd a half of it, simul'd a few pitches and belayed for a few pitches. Good climbing on a gorgeous day. | |

| mow10 | Great route Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2006 | |
| Could have left the rack in the car though. Perfect transition to mountaineering for your gym climber friends. In Boulder terms, its like climbing the First Flatiron after climbing the Third, ending with a view like Bear Pk.... | |

| MichaelJ | 15 pitches in 50 minutes Date Climbed: Oct 15, 2006 | |
| Supertopo says this is a 15-pitch, 5.5. climb. Hmmm? I racked up with a pair of climbing shoes and a nut tool in case I needed to scrape snow off of holds. Both stayed in my knapsack. It took me 90 minutes from car to summit, about half that time on easy, low to mid 5th class ground. Maybe I was off route, as I didn't look at the topo, just climbed whatever took my fancy. Amazing summit views in all directions. Highly recommended. | |
