boyblueEast Ridge and East Slope  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Jul 22, 1979

Tried to follow the north side of east ridge, but found myself getting bogged down in very steep icy snow. Descended to base of east slope and climbed to summit. The register went back to 1912! Thunder clouds were building up, so I couldn't sit and read it as I usually would. :(

Matthew HollimanRoute Climbed: Traverse from Milestone Mtn. Date Climbed: Aug 21, 2005  Sucess!

Second stop on a Milestone-Midway dayhike out of the Shepherd Pass TH, a very long and tiring day. I balked at the south ridge (and couldn't spot the alleged fourth class weakness on the dramatically steep SE Face to avoid the technical stuff), so opted for the more certain traverse via the east ridge notch.



Views were quite nice, but mostly I was just glad to be able to tick this one off The List.

I did the traverse to the East Ridge from Milestone Mountain. Other than the class 3 down climb from the summit of Milestone, I thought this route was pretty standard Sierra class 2 talus. The blocks were mostly solid if you climb close to the ridge (and the impressive drop off onto the SE face kept things interesting).

Dave KRoute Climbed: Traverse from Milestone Date Climbed: August 31, 2002  Sucess!

I climbed this peak after Milestone Mountain, via the traverse from Milestone. It was the end of another great day in the Sierra near the end of a long backpacking trip. We descended the West Slope route, where we fortunately encountered several hundred feet of sand, which made things easier. This and Milestone were the only peaks we climbed on that trip, although we tried Black Kaweah.
