| I bagged Mt. Gabb while doing a loop from Mosquito Flats. The route that I took up to the peak was a bit of an unconventional one and I would not recommend it as it was quite a lot of talus on my path. Descended on the southwestern ridge. In retrospect, it would have been the easiest and safest way to ascend. Incredible views from up top, simply amazing. FYI I was not able to locate the summit register. If anyone is planning a trip back, please take up an old ammo can and a notepad. I figure I'll take one up if I get around to another trip up that way. | |

| Tough dayhike from the Mosquito Flat TH--continuous snow cover for much of the way. The valley around Lake Italy looked like it was still in full-on winter mode, and Gabb was a snow climb (45-50 degrees in places) until some class 3 boulders near the top. Snow was icy in the morning (kind of tedious on the descent from Cox Col to the base of Gabb), and sloppy in the afternoon--very tiring. This was a bit of a grudge peak for me since the first time I tried for it, I aborted with a knee strain, and the second time (when I climbed Hilgard), bad weather interrupted my plans. Spectacular views, but the historic 1934 register was missing. :-( | |

| Started out with the 2005 Sierra Challenge, but diverged to grab Gabb instead of Hilgard. Climbed with Matt - long day, but very enjoyable. Perfect timing with weather - as soon as we reached the summit, drifts of snowflakes greeted us and the looming thunderclouds definitely pushed us off from the summit sooner than I had wanted to. | |

| This was an aborted attempt on a day hike to Hilgard as part of Sierra Challenge 2005. Gabb in a day is still a good shot! ~19 miles and 6,800 ft of gain. | |

| Base Camp was between Lake Italy and Toe Lake. We ended up traversing from Gabbot Pass to the SE Face then climbed a rib. My first class 3 climb, what a way to begin! | |
