| Straight up the ridge from Union Wash trailhead- enjoy these short and steep type routes. Bypassed the class 3 on the ridge just before the summit by traversing the NW slope on a faint use trail. Climbed Inyo next but enjoyed Keynot a little more- maybe I was tired. | |

| Did it from Saline Valley on one of the rough ridges. 10k' gain/loss. Truly wild place on the east side in the Valley. | |

| Combo with Mt. Inyo, 9hr10m outing. Just enough snow to get water from. Didn't find any sketchy cl 3 as described by Matthew. He may have been hallucinating as it can get hot up there. Trip Report | |

| Matthew Holliman | Route Climbed: Northwest Ridge from Union Wash Date Climbed: Oct 30, 2005 | |
| Some astoundingly rotten, sketchy third class along the ridge--not recommended. The west side of the ridge looked even looser and more tedious. The east side had snow. Much better views from Mt. Inyo. | |

| Did this one solo after doing Inyo the same day with Snow Nymph and others. Encountered some problems on the way. The last bit getting up to Keynot was much more complex that I would have expected. I encountered a steep snow covered slope on the NW side of Keynot that could not be safely negotiated without ice axe and crampons (which I failed to bring). I climbed up over a pinnacle (class 3+) and dropped down to a small saddle just to the NW of the peak. I then dropped down a bit and traversed around the South side of Keynot before heading up to the summit. Lots of loose sand and scree on the south side! | |
