| I don't recommend this as a descent route, especially for parties of more than 1. It's not so much class 4, as class 3 with huge movable blocks that randomly break free. The exact ridgeline looks to be safest for most of the way. I nearly killed CP at least once, and did one of my patented leaps to grab a knife edge when my footing disappeared down a chute. Otherwise, a very pretty peak. | |

| This is a great class 3/4 climb. Very few names in the register. As good as any climb in the area. | ||

| Got a late start (0900) due to long drive; car to car in 9 hours with some heart-thumping events along the North Ridge. I stayed pretty far west and encountered more Class 4 with some 5 stuck in there pretty often. Loose rock? More like moveable surfaces! Kinda hairy when alone. Descended via a few Class 4/5 chutes along the eastern face and circled around "pothole" lake; wasn't in the right frame of mind to downclimb my ascent route. =8O THEN the rain came. BTW, the register coffee jar is on the 12,744' peak. I forgot to sign my name after putting a comment in it. :/ | |

| I started off in the dark and summited just before sunrise on a beautiful summer morning. Watching sunrise on the surrounding peaks was breathtaking. The North Ridge is a very fine, unsung route in the Little Lakes area. Trip Report | |
