| boyblue | West-ish to East-ish Traverse Date Climbed: Aug 3, 1979 | |
| From Martha Lake I went up a steep chute on the west side of the southwest shoulder (exactly the opposite side of the ridge from the West Chute). Crossed over both summits and dropped down near Ionian to explore some of the lakes. | |

| LakesideHiker | NE Col from lake west of Goddard Date Climbed: Aug 2, 2008 | |
| Brought up my son (13 yrs), son-in-law and his brother (14 yrs). It was their first peak, and my first time to ascend Goddard. We had planned on going out through the Ionian Basin, but I lost a day due to altitude sickness. In the band between 12900 and 13300, we encountered a thick host of migrating Monarch butterflies. Clear weather, no smoke, was encountered at the top (you could see the coast range). A long drive from Montana, but it was worth the effort. | |

| Hiked from Evolution Lake. We found some class three on the way up but found a nice class 2 escape route on the way down to the east a little past the notch. | |

| Easy climb from Wanda Lake. Views were worth it. Descended via SW slope into the Ionian Basin. Peak #7 on JMT adventure. | |

| MoabPeakBagger | sw ridge Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2003 | |
| SW Ridge from Martha Lake... first major Sierra peak and it blew my mind. Exited via Ionian Basin, which is probably the coolest place in the whole Sierra. | |

| xharv | Southwest Ridge from Martha Lake Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2006 | |
| Climbed it with sodapants on August 11, 2006. Four hours up, two hours down (with rests). The route is class-2 all the way from Martha Lake to the (lower) South Peak on the southwest ridge. However, there is still plenty of snow on the chute from "Lake 12,240". Crampons are useful, ice axe necessary there.

| Langenbacher | Wanda Pass/East slope Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2006 | |
| Beautiful trip via Lamarck Col, Evolution Lake camp. My brother got tired of boulder hopping at Wanda Pass and waited 5 hours for me while I Wanda'ed around finding a nice safe solo route. Secor, Roper and Voge said to follow the ridge, but I dropped down 500 ft. to avoid steep ribs on the way to the summit, then dropped 1600 ft. to a lake, 700 ft. up a ridge to follow the snow, and back down to Wanda Pass. We were lucky to have a 3 day window of good weather. Pix at http://community.webshots.com/album/552775663SpxVXb | |

| A really great dayhike with Rick K., Jeff D., and Matthew from North Lake. 17h45m for Jeff and I. This was one of the most enjoyable days of the summer even though I was dreading it some beforehand. Turned out to be quite a bit less painful than I was expecting. Very enjoyable company to boot.

| Did this as a long dayhike with Jeff D, Bob B, and Mathew H. Matt went for McGee the rest of us for Starr's route up Goddard. Climbing the ridge on this route was actually quite fun. There's even some nice class 4 here if you want it. We started from the North Lake trailhead and went in over Lamarck Col. Getting all the way back up and over the col on the way back was slow going. My roundtrip time was just under 20 hours. | |

| Desert Solitaire | Route Climbed: Starr's Route Date Climbed: September 11, 2005 | |
| Dayhike from N Lake over Lamarck Col with Bob B, Matthew H, and Rick K. The peak is a long way in, but a fun and picturesque approach through Evolution Valley. We ditched the class 2 Starr's route and forged a spicy 3rd class climb up the toe of the same buttress. A long, gruelling day made all the more fun and rewarding with great views and such inspiring company. | |

| A loooong dayhike out of North Lake via Lamarck Col. I'd recommend trying this with a full moon and/or fresh batteries in the headlamp--cross-country at night with cloud cover and a weak LED can be slow going. I think I'd also try one of the passes out of Lake Sabrina next time. I got soaked on the way back and had to wait out yet another thunderstorm over Lamarck Col. The pass had a few inches of fresh powder on the way out, making it look quite wintery. This is the standard by which every subsequent dayhike has been judged. Tough day, but a memorable one. Great fun... I think? | |
