| Hiked up with Maianh ~500 ft away from summit. Then, I ran up and tagged summit solo. Great view of Tenaya Lake, Half Dome. Due to Lembert Dome climb earlier that day we were up there pretty late. Forgot headlamps and were a bit worried of getting stuck up there in the dark. Enjoyed descent route via 3rd class scramble overlooking lake. Hope to return for NW Buttress route one day. | |

| Great fun. Did the 5.7 variation with Tyler aka Chimbo. A little bit of snow and ice left over from last weekend's snow spiced things up just a bit. | |

| Very fun, so many routes you can take. Really only needed the rope for 1 pitch for practice, probably made things harder than they needed to be, but hey you gotta practice sometime! Can't keep gettin onto harder routes without a rope forever. | |

| Simul-climbed the whole route except for the last pitch, which was a nice crack that lead to the NE side of the summit. There were 3 of us and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. | |

| Simul-climbed the first 8 "pitches", then pitched it out on a direct variation that brought us out right at the summit block. Took the variation to avoid a party in front of us, and it ended up being quicker as it was much more direct. | |

| We simul climbed it except one pitch when we had to leave the route to avoid the crowds. | |

| SuperTopo says this is a 14 pitch 5.5. Don't let it fool you. We did it in about 5 and climbing is rather boring. The best way to do this is simul climbing the whole thing. | |

| Ever since I swam for the first time in Tenaya Lake on the way to meet my friend Zathan to climb Whitney (my first High Sierra peak!), I was impressed by this peak & looked foreward to climbing it... When I found out about the NW buttress, the idea of an ascent became even more appealing... As a result, savored the actual climb as much as could be expected, & was thrilled! Excellent rock, sustained 4th-easy 5th, great views, & had the route to myself! The 5.7 hand crack at the top was a perfect finish- hardest part of the climb, & one tops out on the summit ridge about 1 min from the true summit! Hummingbird gave me its blessing before start of climb, & a marmot scrambled up the initial 4th class friction, showing me the start of the route. I knew at that point that it was going to be a good climb & day! Left car 10.01, reached base of climb at 10.31. Started the route at 11.00. Summited 12.30, hung out there for awhile. Left 13.05, & got back to car at 14.30. Post-climb swim & hanging out at Tenaya Lake was icing on the cake! I would highly recommend this climb. | |

| Mary and I did this one on a 2-day trip to Tuolumne. We simul-climbed the whole route in about 2.5 hrs. Really fun climbing on nice rock with a great summit view over Tenaya Lake. The whole thing took about 6 hr car to car. | |
