Climbed this thing super quick. This is a great afternoon or morning hike with no technical anything to worry about. Perfect if you're not comfortable with exposure. Later went up with my dad and girlfriend....so good! This peak has a great view of darwin and mendel!
Climbed with Derek, David, Nolan, and Gordon via Lamarck Col. Couldn't help but notice that Mt. Darwin is a beast...definitely on my list of peak to climb.
Up SE slope, down NW chutes Date Climbed: Jul 11, 2009
From North Lake to Lamarck Lakes trail, up Class 2 SE slope, down Class 3 NW chutes to Darwin Bench... to Alpine Col, Piute Pass, North Lake... only patchy snow left.. lots of boulder/talus fields
Hiked with two friends from North Lake up to the Lamarck Lakes and a crest high above upper Lamarck Lake. Decided to go on to Lamarck Col and the ridge up to Mount Lamarck. Wondered wether this was the summit but found the register and signed it. Perfect sunny day, great views of the Evolution range.
lamarck col is good to know about... a real quick easy route up to the evolutions, I had no idea - I climbed up to the right side of the col (no snow) and then found some class 3/4 scrambling along the ridge, followed by an easy finish - cody stayed by the col
Lamarck Col and East Face Date Climbed: Aug 22, 2008
Beautiful weather and views! Hiked up from Upper Lamarck Lake, where me and my gf camped the night before, and scrambled up and over the Col to outstanding views of Darwin and Mendel. Descent via East Face (class 2-3). Like to come back and climb North Couloir some day!
Annual "October-Fish" Hike Date Climbed: Oct 19, 2007
Out for a day of backcountry fishing at Lamarck Lakes but it was too windy for fishing. Scrambled up the southeastern slope (class 3 at best) Solo, while Bob (my brother) headed back down to North Lake. Tagged what I believed to be the true summit, the highest horn on the East side of the vast summit plateau. Very windy on the summit with 80 mph gusts.
Fun jaunt up to the summit from the col. after spending four days in the Darwin canyon, and climbing Darwin. A wonderful summit that shows the beautiful, austere faces of Darwin and Medel.
Day 3, 2007 Sierra Challenge. Climbed with Eric coming up from Darwin Canyon after having climbed Muriel and Goethe. Descended straight down the East Face to the Lamarck Col trail. <11h car to car.
