| danman3156 | SE Ridge  Date Climbed: Jun 6, 2009 | |
| Overnight trip, cold and snowy. I wish I brought my skiis to descend the thousands of feet of untracked power on the Lyell Glacier! | |

| gordonye | Lyell and Maclure Date Climbed: Jul 18, 2009 | |
| Climbed the east ridge from the Lyell-Maclure col, with Samantha. Very broken, loose rock but not too steep. Took us about an hour each way from the col. Nice view of the summit plateau of Lyell, most of which we couldn't see from the Lyell glacier below. | |

| TheRootster | Northwest Ridge Date Climbed: Oct 20, 1992 | |
| I'm surprised there aren't any other TRs for this excellent route. Started in Yosemite Valley at Happy Isles, up past Merced Lake to Washburn Lake, then straight up the next creek, heading steeply ENE (beautiful cross-country segment past a hideaway waterfall and pool). Once up on top of the bench, it's more easy xc up to the pass NW of Maclure, where the climbing starts. 4th class on solid rock. I soloed it and was focused but not wigged out. A great climb. Worst part was on the hike back, returning down the upper trail (call it the "mule route") back to Merced Lake--like descending a cobblestone street for miles...hell on the knees. I'd suggest returning via Washburn Lake as well. | |

| thexcat | Tuolomne Meadows (Lyell/Maclure Saddle) Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2008 | |
| Climbed Lyell and Maclure in one day. Attempted and failed same trip 1 month earlier. Had the whole mountain to myself. Left Tuolomne meadows at 3am, made it to Lyell-Maclure saddle by 8am, off both summits by 1pm and back to the car around 7pm. Got caught by a nasty thunder, hail and rain storm on the way down and hurt my ankle pretty bad so the return was slow. | |

| After catching someone trying to walk off with my axe and crampons (thiefs in the sierras???) I tagged Maclure before a painful hike back to Toulumne. | |

| metasyn11 | Lyell Glacier, southest ridge Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2007 | |
| After bagging Lyell, headed up the increasingly steep and loose southeast ridge. Let fly a number of rockfalls but other than that it was good scrambling. Summit register still in place; mine's the 2nd entry. | |

| From Lyell/Mac col. Great traverse. Climbed with a wonderful SPS group. Left a new register at the top. This register lives on the peak. Please do not remove it. : ] | |

| gjonbelay | Traverse from Lyell in 2004 Date Climbed: Aug 28, 2004 | |
| After Lyell we traversed to Maclure and ascended to the summit ridge early. We were rewarded with an airy traverse. It was more fun than if we had ascended the main gully which we used on our descent. Trip Report. | |

| thebeave7 | Traverse from Lyell Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2006 | |
| A nice rock scramble after coming off Lyell. Views were spectacular, got caught in a brutal thunder/hail storm on the way out. Sierra Challenge 2006(alt peak). | |

| Mountain Impulse | Route Climbed: Southeast Ridge Date Climbed: Sept. 23, 2001 | |
| Came from our camp below Donohue Pass, crossed the Lyell Glacier to the Lyell-Maclure col and summited Mt. Lyell first. Then back down to the col and picked up Maclure's SE Ridge to the top. I remember having to do a lot of boulder hopping at the beginning of this route, but towards the top the narrow rock ridges created some fun. | |
