| seano | NW Ridge  Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2009 | |
| Daytrip as an alternate for the 2009 Sierra Challenge. After some unnecessary hairiness on the ridge, the final slab seemed tame. A great climb from Scimitar Pass, but it really tests your nerves. | |

| This is such a great climb! It was worth the second trip. I climbed this peak with Ron Karpel and Aaron Schuman. Trip Report | |

| gjonbelay | Northwest Ridge September 14 2003 Date Climbed: Sep 14, 2003 | |
| As part of a group of PCS climbers, 4 of us turned around at 2 pm before descending into the notch below the summit while 2 others continued. While the four of us enjoyed a night in camp the other two summited at 4 pm but had to bivy at Scimitar pass and returned to camp in the morning. Trip Report | |

| Tricky route finding. We hand traversed to the left when getting down to the notch. Find a better way on the right on the way back. | ||

| steve_hiebert | NW Ridge from Scimitar Pass Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2001 | |
| My buddy Demetri and I make it up and down in about 13 hours car-to-car. I was dragging on the way to the crest but it was thoroughly enjoyable climbing from there to the summit of Gandalf. | |

| What a great climb! I agree that the trick is traversing to the notch. Thanks DD. | |

| holy shit on this one!! one of the sketchy ridges to date.. it felt like climbing in a house of cards.. ran out of time to tag the highest point.. will definately go back.. found a 5 gallon cache from the 70's i suspect... the 3 musketeers wraps were white ...i believe they havent been white since the 70's.. climbed with alex... | |

| Truly an awesome peak. Although the exposure got the best of me just before the final pitch, I'm resolved to return to finish climbing Gandalf Pk and include more of the ridge as a roped climb! BTW, I checked the radio button for not reaching the summit, but for some reason that never seems to differentiate my unsuccessful summitting entries from the successful ones. | |

| The talus above Elinore Lake was tedious, but the scrambling along the NW Ridge was exciting... seriously exposed, and the rock was loose enough in places to make extreme caution advised. I pulled a couple of holds out, as did Michael. The ostensibly class 3 traverse into the notch (IMO, more like class 4) actually turned out to be more difficult than the slab, which I was pleasantly surprised to find was much easier than I'd expected (no friction climbing required!) Still, I was glad I brought my rock shoes. | |

| Day seven of the 2004 Sierra Challenge, ten of us started out from Glacier Lodge, summited with Michael and Matthew, then tagged Jepson with Mark. Trip Report | |
