| Matthew Holliman | Lame peak... Date Climbed: Aug 3, 2004 | |
| ...yet for some reason I've been up here three times. The first time, I stopped by on a three-day backpacking trip through Darwin Canyon/Alpine Col, intending to follow the south ridge from Lamarck Col. With the sun about to set, I had to get back to the col to descend and find a place to stop for the night. I realized after the fact that I'd turned back pretty close to the summit, and had to kick myself. I came back to dayhike it in Sep 2003 from North Lake, via the SE slope. This was the morning peak for the day; I headed over to get Agassiz out of South Lake that afternoon. I never found the register up here. My third time was on a Goethe-Lamarck dayhike out of North Lake, basically covering in a day what I'd done in that aforementioned backpacking trip: Up the Piute Pass trail, climb Goethe's NE Ridge, down its south slopes, then up the SW side of Lamarck. In retrospect, it would have been better to follow the good use trail up to Lamarck Col and climb the peak from there. The southwest slopes feature ungodly amounts of sand that were quite exhausting. Despite having climbed the peak before, I still managed to follow footprints to the wrong summit (the higher bump to the NW, Peak 13,464). A careful inspection of my map led me to the right point and even the summit register--a small miracle! Descended the talus on the SE side and back down the Lamarck Col trail. | |

| One of my favorite hikes. I love this area. The variation of terrain, lakes, canyons, and rock formations thrill me. The view off the steep north couloir with the milky blue tarns below are a sight not to be missed. | |

| KathyW | Route Climbed: Up from the Col down the SE Slope Date Climbed: July 17, 2004 | |
| We camped at Upper Lamarck Lakes and day hiked to the Col and then onto the summit of Mount Lamarck. We decided to go down the southest side because it was quicker. The view was wonderful on top! | |

| RSN473 | Route Climbed: from col Date Climbed: Sept 1998, June 2000 | |
| I've climbed Mt. Lamarck a couple of times while heading heading into Darwin canyon. After the last climb, I remember rushing back to the col to beat an approaching thunder storm, and discovering that a marmot had chewed through the shoulder strap on the pack of one of the guys in our group. I guess marmots like salt. | |

| There was a lot of snow in early summer '97. The ice on lower Lamarck lake broke up during the day of July 4. Day hike from N lake. Slushy descent. | |

| Scott Pierce | Route Climbed: From lamarck Col Date Climbed: November 1998 | |
| On aborted attempt to climb Mendel Right Couloir. Late start and bad weather forced a bivy near the Col. Next day, more crummy weather and sick friend kept us in place. We finally bailed, but tagged Lamarck to keep from being completely skunked. It took about 45 minutes from the Col, if that. | |
