| Not sure if we (the Sierra Challenge 2005 group) actually made it to the "high point", but since everyone else is claiming credit, I guess I will too :) | ||

| Climbed with Bob, Matthew, Mark and co during the 2005 Sierra Challenge. Agree to Matthew's comments. Traverse to Columbine was more fun. Spectacular views of the Palisades. | |

| PellucidWombat | Route Climbed: NE Face, descended S Ridge Date Climbed: August 10th, 2005 | |
| An anticlimatic summit, but the 4th class headwall climbed to gain the ridge was sure a thrill! A nice easy day on Bob Burd's Sierra Challenge, w/ a post-clim B-Day celebration and a pool party. | |

| Day 6 of the 2005 Sierra Challenge, followed Matthew around the route he describes below, and agree that the NE Ridge of Columbine was better than the route on Isosceles. Trip Report | |

| Desert Solitaire | Route Climbed: East Side Date Climbed: August 10, 2005 | |
| Some loose rock along the way, and with a relatively large party on the 2005 Challenge, heard quite a few "ROCK" yells. Some fun 3rd class moves and one exposed 4th class move, but great climb in general. It was a bit frustrating being separated from the true summit by an imposing high 5th class wall across the keyhole that noone attempted. Thanks to Bob for a fine peak to make the Challenge. | |

| Not the greatest rock, and it seems like we climbed neither the highest point (the 5th class spire in the middle of the ridge for which we were unprepared), nor the point for which the peak is presumably named (the lower point at the west end of the summit ridge that looks like a triangle from some points in Dusy Basin). But it is the point named Isosceles on the 7.5' for some reason. I think the map is wrong... There were a couple of exposed third class moves to gain the ridge crest from the saddle along the connecting ridge to Columbine (per the Reiner Stenzel report on climber.org), but nothing difficult. Traversed on to Columbine Peak (more fun than Isosceles if you keep right to the ridge), and returned through Dusy Basin, my first visit to the area--gorgeous! | |

| Misha | Route Climbed: SW Buttress / West Face Date Climbed: August 7, 2004 | |
| What a great way to kill your afternoon! Etsuko and I started from Dusy Basin, climbed 4 pitches up SW Buttress (5.6) and then traversed onto the West face for the best pitch (5.7) of the climb. On the descent, I stepped onto a huge boulder (300-400lb) that decided to slide down with me on it. Fortunately I was able to grab some stuff around me the last second while the boulder slid from under me and caused a huge rock fall. Phew! Before us this peak was last climbed in 2001 Click for the trip report. | |

| A zig-zag crack splits an orange patch on the right side of the West Face. Failed twice before on the East Ridge & South Face at the keyhole notch just east of the summit. | |
