| With Sam below, had a fine soloing tour including Tresidder Peak, Columbia Finger, Echo Peaks (#1-3), and the SW Buttress of Cathedral. A great day with perfect weather. Trip Report | |

| This was peak 1 of a seven peak day with Bob Burd. A great fall outing. | |

| Even though the "backside" is the easy rt., the views are among the best in the area. Not sure why Secor chose to leave this peak out of his Guide. | |

| Great solo climb if you're comfortable on easy 5th. The angle is just right so that your feet will stick anywhere. While you're up there you might as well hit Tressider and Columbia finger | |

| With Ettore Leale and Rene' Renteria. It was Ettore's first multipitch climb. We simulclimbed almost all of it, with me on lead. We drove up from the Bay Area in the morning, started out of the parking lot at Tenaya Lake at 1 pm, and were back at the car around 8:30 (slightly after dark), and that was taking it slow (we were slow being 3 of us with a beginner). It's a worthwhile acclimatization climb if you are on the way to more serious stuff in the Eastern Sierra, since there is practically no approach and the route is at 10,000ft. The view from the top is outstanding, including a view of the summit of Cathedral Peak jutting out from a ridge inbetween. Mostly Class 3-4, except a couple of fifth class moves towards the end. | |

| The first scramble was an easy, fun few hours. The NW Buttress route took us something like ten hours which has to be a near record for dawdling. Though it rained the last two pitches, it was great fun the whole day. | |

| We squeezed in a quick climb on a Sunday morning before the drive back to the Bay Area. A bit of an introduction to friction climbing for me. The second visit was a few weeks later, and was my first technical climb--combo acclimatization/rope practice for what was hoped to be a Clarence King day hike the next day. It rained the last two pitches. Great fun all the same. | |
