| boyblue | From Lundy  Date Climbed: Jul 19, 1981 | |
| Basically I followed the outlet stream from the trail to Burrow Lake where I camped. No significant difficulties were encountered on the approach- talus was well consolidated and the thickest brush was easy to avoid. Stamina and patience were all that was required. Climbed from Burrow Lake to the summit via east ridge. Mostly class 1 or 2. Returned via south ridge to Shamrock Lake and followed trail back down to Lundy TH. | |

| My one chance of getting to an area that was not too crowded over the holiday weekend. There was a bit of haze on the west side due to some smoke in Yosemite. Other than that the views were good. | ||

| A Bit | Northeast Ridge Date Climbed: Jun 23, 2007 | |
| Nice dayhike from the Virginia Lakes trailhead. After leaving the trail, I had the mountain all to myself. A little cool and windy, but the views were worth it. Didn't find a summit register. | |

| Climbed this peak with Greg Enright on a search for an overdue day hiker. We summited to check the summit register to see if the missing hiker had signed in, then descended the North Ridge (the subject's reported ascent route). We found the missing hiker, unfortunately deceased, on the east side of the north ridge. She had apparently taken a loooong fall to the glacier/snowfield in the cirque below. We declined the helo ride out, and continued back to the trailhead on foot. | |

| No ice axe, no crampons for the first time this year! At last, a nice class 1 hike on a perfect day. Easy, easy ascent on mostly consolidated scree/talus. | |

| Nice fall climb. We didnt see any other people, had perfect weather and some new snow, thigh deep near the peak . It was so clear it seemed like you could see hundreds of miles. | |

| Typical rocky hike, it would be a much better trip in the winter with skis. Good views from Dunderburg to Dana. The Northeast Ridge seemed more like a class 1. | |

| Great ski tour with good spring snow conditions. Lack of acclimatization caused me to use up too much time napping, so I ended up only reaching the northeast ridge. | |

| One big pile of rubble. But nice views. Probably an easier climb from the north, too. Trip Report | |
