| tdoughty | Loose  Date Climbed: Sep 19, 2009 | |
| camped at long lake with fishing friends. no snow in hourglass to climb, so it was a real loose slog. glad the views were so good as that helped compensate, and the scree slide down wasn't as bad as feared. | |

| Had a perfect day summiting Mt Dade via the Hourglass Couloir with my climbing partner & daughter Melissa Thaw. Excellent snow in couloir. Above & below the Houglass was bare rocks/boulders. Perfect weather. Thanx to Melissa for a wonderful climb. russ thaw | |

| mrchad9 | up hourglass couloir Date Climbed: Jun 20, 2009 | |
| Posted up in softer afternoon conditions after backpacking in to Treasure Lakes, mostly rock above the hourglass. Happy to be up so late in the day (5:30 PM), the light and clouds around Bear Creek Spire were excellent. Started icing up on the way back. | |

| wingding | via the Hourglass Couloir Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2009 | |
| A nice sunny day in the Sierra. The snow was perfect going up in the morning, but really soft later in the day. I had to dig my legs out a couple times because they got stuck when I post-holed. Pictures from my jaunt to Dade | |

| Mountain Impulse | Deep Snow in Couloir Date Climbed: Jun 14, 2009 | |
| The couloir was covered with postholing type of snow, but the day was sunny and brisk and the climb was enjoyable. The ridge to the summit was mixed rock and snow so slippery going with boots. Most of the top was covered with fresh snow. | |

| Michael Graupe | Hourglass Couloir Date Climbed: Jul 6, 2008 | |
| Needed an easy dayhike after the 14+hr outing the day before. Beautiful weather but very hot in the couloir where I also got attacked by mosquitos. Soft snow conditions made for a great glissade on the descent. The top of the couloir is alredy pretty melted out and all the loose rubble really sucks! Amazing displays of wildflowers just a few 100ft below the summit. | |

| 96avs01 | Dayhike Revenge Date Climbed: May 31, 2008 | |
| After being denied by high winds and snow at the top of the Hourglass on the 27th, we returned for a dayhike revenge trip a couple days later. Snow was still unconsolidated from the previous weekend storms making the class 2 section above the couloir particularly dicey, but at least we didn't have to walk the road section from the Pack Station a second time. Great views, will definitely be back to the Rock Creek area. Trip Report | |

| BCL | Hourglass Couloir Date Climbed: Jun 1, 2008 | |
| Patchy snow below Long Lake, continuous above. Couloir was in good shape. Not as steep as expected. Last ~400 feet to the summit were a slog/swim through the snow. | |

| Conditions in the couloir were perfect from kicking steps in solid snow on the way up in the morning to glissading and plunge stepping on the way down in the early afternoon. Steve Curry lead 9 of us up this peak on a fun SPS trip. Trip Report. | |

| climbed the peak with ChuckO and oldmanmike from SP; they split off heading toward the hourglass while I carried my tools up to the northern side looking for any inviting ice. Spotted some water ice forming in a north eastern couloir and climbed it! ~ WI2, about 550(?) feet, class 4, good fun but C O L D! | |
