| Alcas24 | Standard  Date Climbed: Aug 21, 2009 | |
| Did the standard route up Tumbledown Creek today. Round trip in a little over 5 hours despite last night's debauchery. Koch Basin is really beautiful. Didn't see any bears or even any sign. I added a note about the road/trailhead in the "Additions and Corrections" section. | |

| Climbed the north ridge from Tumbledown Creek. The ridge and even the notch was easier than expected (says 5th class, I thought 4th class). Once out of the notch we both had hair standing on end on our arms so we ran over the summit and down the descent. Jolee got the buzz in her hair just as we passed the summit. Snowed, then rained, then turned into a beautiful day for the hike out. The route took less than 3 hours from our camp at the first lake. | |

| Climbed the route discribed on this site, but I think Tumbledown Creek might be a better way. I will try to add this route. A liesurly 5 hours up Three down. Fantastic views of Sphinx, Imperial even Hilgard, Cowan and Electric. | |

| bakcast | Route Climbed: North Ridge Date Climbed: June 2004 | |
| Climbed on a cold, snowy June day. Instead of ascending the southeast standard ridge which is written about in a number of guide books, we choose to explore the north ridge and glissade down the southeast route (class 2). The north ridge was decidedly more difficult as the view from lower Koch basin does not allow you to see the formidable notch which is visible from the upper Koch basin. A short but scary section of easy 5th class rock in the notch just below the summit was easy without a rope for us, but our dogs were quite unhappy. We hope to retrun to Koch to ski the "east couloir" which originates in the aforementioned notch. 14 miles round trip, ~3500' elevation gain, 7.5 hours and no grizzly bears but plenty of black bear sign. | |
