| Short half day hike via Little Giant Basin. Rime ice on the summit ridge made things a bit more interesting. Traversed over to King Solomon, dropping below difficulties on the ridge. | |

| Drove to 10,900 ft on the road to Little Giant Basin before being stopped by snow. Hiked the remainder and followed trail to saddle between Little Giant and King Solomon. Hiked up Little Giant's east ridge, avoiding some obstacles by dropping down on the south side. Nasty weather. | |

| Climbed with AJ - steep tundra ascent and then hiking among the sinkholes made for an interesting day. Nice view of Silver Lake from the top. | |

| Climbed this one with a bushwack since the trail was not readily evident. Climbed 1000 feet in the first half mile. Intercepted the miner's trail and took it into the basin. Cut over left, crossed the mine tailings and climbed loose Class 4 terrain to the ridge to get a look at Silver Lake far below. Followed the ridge north around an ominous sink hole (one of three encountered on this climb) and climbed the summit from the northwest. Descended a steep loose couloir on the south (typical San Juan scree ski) to steep (and I mean steep!), loose tundra terrain, then retraced our steps to the miner's trail, which we successfully followed all the way to the car. Fun day, not without traumatic incident! A trip report is pending. Great mountain and impressive view in a remote corner of the San Juans. I'm glad I finally did this one. | |

| Attempted this mountain after hiking King Solomon Mountain. Headed up to a ridge point at about 13,220 feet to see a view of the summit. It was a good thing we did. There was a mountain lion on the summit pacing back and fourth. We decided that it was not a good day to complete the mountain and it's best to leave the mountain lion alone. | |
