| RyanCampagna | Horse Creek to who knows?  Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2008 | |
| Up the creek, around the back, up some rocks, across some scree... Not sure exactly how we made it up there, but we did. The scramble to the top was awesome. The drive back to the bay area sucked. | |

| Climbed all over the mountain taking the least practical routes (not on purpose!). Loved the scramble to the summit. | |

| wow this was a long day...left car between 3am/4am... nice approach.. lots of snow at base... managed to navigate it with no axe and trail runners.. the climbing on this peak was stellar to say the least.. 2 raps down the backside saved some time we traversed over and summitted the adjacent peak ...summit looked like a tooth.. cant recall the name... will be back to bang out the whole traverse at some point... the sawtooth range is magically beautiful, the wildflowers were going off... incredible! climbed with alex. | |

| Camped at lake at 9,800'. Used crampons to get to start. A lot of loose rock coming down from climbers above. Crux is the very last move above the dihedral and small chimney where you will want to haul your packs. | |

| rhyang | East couloir Date Climbed: May 11, 2008 | |
| Hiked in on Saturday and snow-camped at ~9400' in the trees. Sunday got up early and did the couloir, then scrambled to the summit. Descended via Horse Creek Pass. Couloir was partially melted out, but there was enough snow to make it enjoyable. The scrambling was fun - did the 3rd class ledges. I wouldn't want to slog up the sandy SE side though. What snow there was on that side had huge suncups. Snow patchy up to about 8500-9000', where it was pretty much solid. Windy & partly-cloudy weather. | |

| Did the 5.9 variation at the bottom; the rest of the usual route was better quality rock, though, so is best to skip this variation and get up high quicker - leaves more time for skiing back down. | |

| bearbnz | Re: Ski Dreams | |
| Hey Brian, Sorry I missed you a couple weeks back. I went up there Sunday (9th), I went up and down the East Couloir. Glad I wasn't really there for the skiing, it wasn't so good. | |

| Climbed with Kovarpa. Whatever we did, it certainly wasn't the 5.4 / 5.5 route the guidebooks describe. I took my 1st fall (nothing big really) at the beginning of P1 and that took the wind out of my sail. After that Pavel all the way to the summit. Nice climb, but I guess I wasn't in the right state of mind for it. | ||

| 96avs01 | Had to settle Date Climbed: Aug 25, 2007 | |
| for a summit of the Matterhorn Peak as one of my partners showed up way out-of-shape for a five day trip to the Palisades. Wish the East Couloir would have been in shape, but the SE ridge ascent-SE face descent treated me just fine. Great approach that has a little bit of everything. | |
