| benjamingray | Tbolt - N. Pal traverse  Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2009 | |
| Cool to actually see the milkbottle in person after seeing pictures of it for so long, kind of like meeting that celebrity that you've only seen on TV (if you watch TV, that is). Long and rewarding day. | |

| gordonye | Re: SW chute | |
| I got a lot to go if I want to finish the CA 14ers. I got thunderbolt, but not williamson/tyndall/sill/langley/muir/white/split, so only half done :) Still must do the barbecue though! Some time in Oct? | |

| Diggler | Re: SW chute | |
| Congrats, Gordon! It's always sweeter after a few attempts. Glad you guys made it up & down both of these challenging & amazing peaks. So is Thunderbolt the only one left now??? When's the barbeque going to be, man?! | |

| gordonye | NW chute Date Climbed: Sep 6, 2009 | |
| Climbed with Vladimir and Hakan from Palisade Basin. The "Milk Bottle" was an exciting top rope for me. Thanks to Hakan's route info we were able to follow this complicated route with 4 belayed 4th class sections. Vladimir soloed the "Milk Bottle" with approach shoes, a backpack, and a hiking pole! | |

| RickF | The "Milk Bottle" was everything that I anticipated Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2009 | |
| ...but getting up to and down from the summit pinnacle was more challenging than I expected. This was the third in our three peak traverse that included Polemonium & North Pal. We approached via the west chute from Palisade Basin and traversed from North Pal. We descend by multiple raps down the Starlight Chute. Safely summitting and descending was made possible through the team effort of my partners, Phil & Joe. | |

| Continuing the traverse. Skipped the milk bottle because I thought I needed to hurry, so I'll have to come back. | |

| Mountain Impulse | Led the Milk Bottle Date Climbed: Aug 2, 2008 | |
| Had great fun leading the Milk Bottle. Thanks to my SP partners Tom Becht and Glenn Gookin. Started at South Lake and exited Glacier Lodge. We also had great fun climing our selected route up Starlight coming from Thunderbolt. | |

| BradBartick | Summited as part of Palisades traverse | |
| Hit SP as part of the Palisades traverse last summer. Great exposure and difficult route-finding, but Bruce kept us on course. | |

| benjohnson | solo from North Palisade Date Climbed: Jul 1, 2008 | |
| Fun traverse from North Palisade. Meant to go on to Thunderbolt, but had some routefinding trouble (and dehydration), and trusted the better judgement of the little guy in my head that said "if you don't climb it today, that just means you will have to come back to the Sierras again." Descended SW gully - one of the best rap anchors I've seen in awhile - a webbing knot poorly equalized with a protruding flexing pin. I shook my head and chuckled at the sight, then shook my head and grimaced after realizing there was no way to back it up, and no better option for another rap anchor. | |
