| NCclimber | South Face  Date Climbed: Aug 1, 2009 | |
| Climbed with WoundedKnee, painful cutting those ropes, but no time to re-lead the third pitch. Careful of the "5.7" finger crack on the 3rd. We took the friction path just to the left. | |

| A fun, isolated climb with ncclimber. We saw nobody for the two days we camped at Bead Lakes. Had to cut both ropes on the way down, each of our ropes got caught in different places. Pete did a great job of routefinding to combine shorter rappels and downclimbing. Nervewracking! A very fun climb. Looks like we were just the second party of the year to summit. I thought it was stiffer than 5.7 in a couple of places. | |

| Brian, Bob, and I had a wonderful trip. Hard hike in. Route finding challenge. Great beta the evening before- from camp at Bead lake, we could see climbers reach the summit and during their raps. Great to finally get up this beast after all these years. | |

| Short route, pretty casual once you get back there. We spent a few days in the feather lakes drainage to make the approach worth more. The hand crack pitch was stellar. | |

| Climbed the South Face of Warbonnet Peak with Jim on a 4 day trip to the Sawtooths in Idaho. It was a tough approach and nice climbing in a great setting. Jim's trip report gives the details of the climb. Great times! | |

| Climbed with Haydar - the crux was definitely the approach! Cool summit in a very remote area. Trip report here. | |

| SawtoothSean | Route Climbed: SE Face- 5.7 Date Climbed: September 16, 2000 | |
| We did probably one of the easiest routes on the peak. We had a spectacular bivy spot at Bead Lakes where I found obsidian flakes (lithic debitage) giving eveidence that prehistoric man was here. Blue Rock Dome and the Mayan Temple were utterly spectacular. We started at the notch between Warbonnet and Cirque Lake Tower and the route traversed abit and zigged before giving way to that spectacular summit finish. I'd like to try that SW risge route that involves more climbing and less scrambling. | |

| Incredible climb - one of the best I've ever been on. It's easy to get off-route (I never really was sure when we were on an established one) but generally not too difficult to get back on it. Exposure unbelievable up top! | |

| My wife Shirley and I climbed this amazing peak as part of a 3-day trip into the Sawtooths. We "discovered" Warbonnet while thumbing thru. Kearney's "Classic Climbs of the Northwest" guidebook and could not belive how little info. there was out there regarding this amzing looking mountain (could not believe no one has added it to SP before??). The climb has a pretty remote feel even over a weekend like Labor Day. The hike in is about 8 miles each way (with boat shuttle) and the latter 3 or 4 miles are x-country. You very quickly leave the crowds behind (most climbers in the area head for Elephant's Perch, most day hikers don't venture past Alpine Lake, and most backpackers head for Baron Lakes) and get this profound feeling of being totally on your own - spices up the adventure! This was probably the most amazing summit (all 1 sq. foot of it) we've ever had the pleasure of standing/sitting atop of!! | |
