boyblueNortheast Ridge and Chute  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Aug 27, 1985

From Treasure Lakes. I was aiming for the quickest way out of all those boulders, so I chose the northeast ridge. Fun scrambling near the top.

Bob BurdHurd -> Trapezoid -> Johnson  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2008

Day 6 of the 2008 Sierra Challenge. Climbed the East Face of Hurd in the morning with Brice W, then traversed to Trapezoid via the South Ridge of Hurd and Trapezoid's NE Ridge (the South Ridge was a better scramble). Met up with Adam J on Trapezoid and traversed the crest to Johnson. Fun day. Trip Report

dustytrailN. Ridge  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Aug 25, 2008
Climbed S. face of peak 12,600 just N. of Johnson first,fun cl. 3 climb with a 70's register. Then it was off to Gilbert and peak 12,800. I then traversed back to Treasure Col and climbed the N. Ridge of Johnson which was as good as advertised.

Michael GraupeSE Slope  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2008

2008 Sierra Challenge. After climbing Trapezoid Peak I started to traverse the connecting ridge but this turned out to be quite tedious and slow (maybe I was just not in the mood any more for much more ridge climbing). So I dropped down into the cirque and ascended the SE slope.

Date Climbed: Oct 27, 2007

Tons of boulders and then the sandy slope. The smoke from the fires in southern california filled the air in the afternoon, but it was still beautiful out there.

Date Climbed: Sep 9, 2006

Quite the talus slog up the Treasure Lakes drainage. Probably would have been more enjoyable earlier in the year with more snow. Sandy slopes made for a quick descent.

NoSamSE talus and sandy slopes  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2006
Climbed talus to the right of sandy slopes on way up. Sandy slope on the way down. More loose rock than sand.

soslawRoute Climbed: North Ridge Date Climbed: October 22, 2005

Climbed the north ridge solo via Treasure Col on an absolutely beautiful Fall day. Conditions in the Col were brittle water ice covered with sugar snow from a recent storm. Stayed on the crest of the ridge all the way to the summit. Great 3rd class rock. Because the knife edge section gaining the summit was partially covered with snow, I traversed it chevalier style (one leg draped over each side of the ridge).

Matt WorsterRoute Climbed: North Couloir Date Climbed: 25 June 2005
Date Climbed: Jun 25, 2005

Solid snow at 10,500 ft. Merciless 2-3 ft sun cups from there up to 11,800 ft. Snow and lightning storm while on the 3rd class ridge.

Our route was the north couloir, which is not described by Secor. It is the snowfield on the west side of the north face, under the "33" on 7.5' topos. Very nice access to summit if it is snow-filled and the entire 3rd class ridge is not your thing . It gains the ridge about 250 ft below the summit. The remaining ridge would be great fun in dry weather! Descended the SE Slope.

Like Matthew, I found the climb up to Johnson the best part of the day. Gilbert from the southeast is more or less forgetable. Trip Report

Gilbert-Johnson dayhike out of South Lake. The North Ridge was a great scramble, made a bit spicier in one or two places thanks to a few inches of fresh powder from a storm the day before. I'd like to go back to do the Johnson-Goode traverse some time.
