Date Climbed: Oct 17, 2009

Climbed with Maianh. Due to heavy snow fall in Sierras, made last minute decision to climb this peak. Snow last 500 ft. Some of the best summit views I've seen. Only 3 people signed summit log that year. Found summit log dated from 1966 - which I wrapped in a plastic sandwich bag to help preserve.

Cool summit bouldering, nice pumice run back down. This area is very odd and unique, quite the surreal landscape.

Started out @ 12.20 from the car, fearing I'd get back & not be able to extricate the rental car from the sand trap. Went up the steep cinder slopes with much effort, sweating like a pig the whole way.



Summited @ 13.52 (enjoyed scrambling up the subpeak & summit block!) & enjoyed the bountiful views of Mono Lake, the Tioga Pass-area Eastern Sierra, & the Great Basin. Left somewhat prematurely as threatening clouds were floating overhead. Got down to the relative safety of one of the false summits & enjoyed a sandwich, beer, & smoke, & taking the view in some more (felt safer than previously up on the summit). Left subpeak ~14.55.



Got back to the car at 15.49 and removed car from trap after much patience, throttle control, and praying. Went to Whoa Nelli & enjoyed a mango margarita under a warm Eastern Sierra sun. Great day, & glad to finally have done this!
