| Ice on the waterfall made me nervous, so Steve roped me up. Need to go back and try again on my own. | |

| Ramblindave | Northwest chute Date Climbed: Jun 21, 2009 | |
| Climbed via the northwest chute, Good snow leading up to the LeConte/Mallory plateau, and loose rock and snow in the actual chute. All in all a really fun climb!! | |

| cab | NW Chute from Meysan Lake Date Climbed: Jul 25, 2009 | |
| Left O.C. at 1am, started hiking at 5am. Probably the most miserable scree slog I have ever done above Meysan Lake. Waterfall pitch was a little hairy, especially since I was by myself, but I made it. Went over to Mallory too, and back to the car at 4pm, then drove 4 hours home. Long day! Love climbing peaks like this one that don't get much traffic. No one had signed the summit register for 2.5 weeks before I did. | |

| derbilly | Challenge day 10 Date Climbed: Aug 16, 2009 | |
| After getting past the crumbling gully above Meysan Lake, it was a nice climb to LeConte and over to Corcoran. I was aided by a generous cheater sling on the waterfall pitch, which is certainly class 4+ in my estimation. Overall, I was worn out from the previous 10 days of climbing and had to skip Mallory. | |

| With Dave McLaughlin via North Fork of Tuttle Creek. Very difficult appoach. Lots of bush-whacking, but a faint use trail can be followed if you are *very* observant. Expected water at our base camp at 9000 feet, but Tuttle was dry (subterranean). Had to descend back to a small spring at approx. 8000 feet to fill water bottles. Tuttle re-appears at approx. 11000 feet. The 2000 foot scree chute that leads to base of north face nearly killed us. The class 3 climbing on the peak, though, was fun and challenging. | |

| seano | NW chute from Meysan lake Date Climbed: Aug 2, 2009 | |
| Quite the talus slog above Meysan lake. The waterfall pitch was shorter than expected. Start of a Le Conte-Corcoran-Mallory-Irvine traverse. | |

| sergio | Great views Date Climbed: Jul 5, 2008 | |
| Did not summit but rather spent some time absorbing the views of the western Sierra. Took the slide of my life descending a snowy couloir but I was able to self arrest. Scary. | |

| Solo traverse from Malory, Irvine, and Candlelight. Descending the waterfall pitch was thrilling. | |

| Steve Larson | NW chute Date Climbed: Jun 7, 2008 | |
| This was my first big Sierra Peak in nine months after injuring my knee. I went with my friend Laura, who is new to quasi-technical Sierra peaks. It took us a lot longer than expected. We intended to do the NF, but by the time we got to the plateau (postholing near the end--ugh!) it was too late. So we did the NW chute. I gave Laura a TR on a short crack/chimney halfway up (good job Laura--your first roped climbing in the alpine!). Even taking an easier route, we ended up missing burgers at WPS when we got down. Oh well. Pizza in LP was a pretty good substitute. | |

| Route finding was easy. Waterfall pitch was interesting and I believe it should be rated class 4. We put a quick link around the webbing for descending the waterfall pitch. Great views from the summit. | ||

| Desert Solitaire | Traverse from Corcoran Date Climbed: Sep 20, 2006 | |
| Fun scrambling on the traverse, which was *very* well ducked, by the way. No need for people to fuss around and suffer from "big air" - just follow the ducks for a nice climb. It was nice looking down on the waterfall pitch - didn't look too hard from the top. | |
