| PellucidWombat | Nice Dayhike ![]() Date Climbed: Sep 12, 2009 | |
| Dayhiked the peak via Merriam Saddle, but bailed on Merriam due to thunderstorms. A chill 12 hrs car-to-car. Which bump was the summit? | ||

| Not that interesting, but at least the boulders were stable. Not sure which bump was the summit, but I touched both and found a register on neither. | ||

| myles | East Face ![]() Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2009 | |
| Climbed a third-class chute on the east face, to the right of the one I believe is described in Secor. Fun climbing throughout. Didn't see a register on any of the summits, but didn't look too long as lightning was striking over Seven Gables and the wind was heading it my way. Lots of snow descending from Merriam-Royce col, so I'm glad I toted the ice axe. (edited for spelling) | ||

| KathyW | From Royce Lakes ![]() Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2007 | |
| We backpacked in to Royce Lakes and then hiked to Royce from there via the Royce-Merriam Saddle. Sleeping at 11,600' doesn't make me feel real good when the previous day was spent at 900' - I moved really slow in the morning going up to Royce. Pictures of trip to Royce Peak | ||

| Slog up from saddle punctuated by the sounds of climbers on Merriam's north buttress. Descended obvious NW chute directly below summit with lots of rockfall potential. | ||

| Brian Frederick | Route Climbed: Southwest ridge Date Climbed: early october 2004 ![]() | |
| Climbed southwest ridge from Merriam lake. Enjoyable class 2 , Far better route from this side than the saddle. Summited in about 2 hrs. but had to skip the traverse to Merriam peak when the storm came early. Great view. | ||

| The second stop on a Merriam/Royce/Julius Caesar dayhike. Not a particularly stimulating climb, but I didn't mind too much after finding Merriam spicier than expected. | ||
