PellucidWombatNice Dayhike  Sucess!
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.

mylesEast Face  Sucess!
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.

Did both Royce and Merriam from the saddle, kind of a sand slog from the saddle, but at least its not to far...

Did these three peaks in a dayhike from the trailhead. Total time was 11:21 hours car to car.

Confused about the redspot on feather.

KathyWFrom Royce Lakes  Sucess!
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.

Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2007

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.

Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2007

Climbed south slope from Merriam-Royce saddle and descended northwest chute as part of Merriam-Royce-Feather dayhike. These routes are both chossy. 11 hr, 21 min roundtrip from Pine Creek trailhead. Beautiful weather and area!

Brian FrederickRoute Climbed: Southwest ridge Date Climbed: early october 2004  Sucess!

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.

Matthew HollimanRoute Climbed: South Slope Date Climbed: July 10, 2004  Sucess!

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.
