| Stayed at the Cottonwood Lakes and did the summit the next morning. Great views of Whitney; with binoculars you can see people on the Whitney trail like a trail of ants. | |

| This was a return trip after I had failed to reach the summit a few weeks before due to lack of research regarding the location of old Army Pass. I enjoyed the beauty of the lakes area, but had gotten stopped by the rocks and cliffs in the last cirque above the spectacular and sparsely visited highest Cottonwood Lakes. On the return trip, staying down in Bishop the night before the hike after a few weeks at sea level was a mistake I should have known to avoid. I easily cruised up to the top of Old Army Pass from the parking lot at Horsehoe Meadows in just over 3.25 hours, but suffered from the altitude the rest of the way and took about 3.5 painful hours to get from the top of the pass to the summmit of Langley. Toward the end I was resting for a minute every 10 steps and almost turned back for safety concerns since I was alone other than my 2 dogs. I've never hiked so slowly in my life! 12 hours from car to car was longer than I had planned for, but I had everything I needed. I caught some small snowflakes at the summit. The partly cloudy day made for interesting photos, but luckily no lightning other than over in the White Mountains and beyond. | |

| Luciano136 | Old Army - 5th anniversary hike Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2008 | |
| Hiked in on Saturday and camped at Lake 4. Very peaceful night; not a breeze! Unfortunately, I only slept 2-3 hours. Took off at 7:15am and made the summit about 4 hours later. Had the whole mountain to ourselves; most people only started hours later. Fun mountain! Felt good all day; trail out with our packs I was kinda dragging though. Oh yeah, it was our (Chrissy and I) 5th anniversary; so that was kinda fun :) | |

| BradBartick | 3rd times a charm | |
| Took 3 tries, but I finally got it. An easy 14'er but not when you are an idiot like I was back then. | |

| Ashburt | New Army Pass Summit Date Climbed: Jun 15, 2008 | |
| Camped at Long Lake and hiked up to the summit the next day. Weather was perfect, but it was windy and cold at the top. Only two other people at the summit. | |

| twhirled | A little face time | |
| Not wanting to slog up the sandy side, we opted for the east face scramble. Bouldering and chutes on this route offered a little challenge, but not to dangerous for the father of a young family in our group. Great views Easy walk. | |

| J Fox | long Day on the East Ridge Date Climbed: Apr 26, 2008 | |
| Our day didn't start too well when we parked about 1.5 miles below the trailhead. To avoid our mistake I'd highly recommend taking Granite View drive to the trailhead rather than the road at the end of Tuttle Creek campground. Once we got to the trailhead we followed the trail to where it crosses a bridge over the creek. From there we turned left and scrambled a thousand vertical feet up some sand, snow and rock to gain the ridge. Once on the ridge we climbed over thousands of feet of really deep sun cups. After about 8 hours of clmbing we topped out to great views of Whitney and Lone Pine Peak. We descended the huge NE Couilor instead of the East Ridge and made it back to the car 12.5 hours after our start. | |

| Peak_Bagger | Long, Long day Date Climbed: Jul 8, 2006 | |
| Had no permit, so we did it as a long day hike. It took 13hrs and almost got struck by lightning on the summit. If you hear a wizzing noise when you hold up your arms, get down quick!!! | |
