| fedak | May Lake Date Climbed: Aug 16, 2012 | |
| Nice mellow outing from May Lake. On the Topo there is a sharp right (east) turn in the trail leading out of May Lake- this turn is actually a signed junction and a once maintained trail leads north from there. This trail brings you to a saddle directly beneath Tuolumne. From the saddle it just a straightforward jaunt up to the summit (There are cairns marking the route but they are pretty unnecessary) Didn't see a survey marker or registry on the summit. Pics and commentary are here. | |

| xharv | Use trail from May Lake Date Climbed: Jun 21, 2012 | |
| Tagged both NE and SW high points. Didn't find a register. The road to May Lake trailhead is still closed, and I had to start from Tioga Road, which added two boring miles to the route each way. The road will allegedly be opened before the end of June 2012. | |

| thexcat | From May Lake TH Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2010 | |
| First hike this summer season due to an ankle injury in May earlier this year. Left the bay area around 4am, drove straight to May Lake trailhead. Missed the trail that forks off the main one, ended up going too far east which forced me to do some off trail scrambling. Linked back up with the trail near the summit. Could not find the summit register on any of the summits. Camped at Mono Lake that evening. | |

| cp0915 | South Slope with Knife Edge Variation Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2008 | |
| None of us expected much out of this peak, but it turned out to be really excellent. We accidentally stumbled upon a fantastic knife edge ridge traverse (with fun class 3-4 scrambling and big exposure) on the way. Very nice! | |

| Bob Burd | Route Climbed: South Face (ascent) / SE Slope (descent) Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2005 | |
| With Matthew (a few entries down). I think his directions are a little off on the route names, but otherwise fairly accurate. I really enjoyed the class 3 ascent on the South Face. Trip Report | |

| Felsberg | Route Climbed: Southwest gulley Date Climbed: July, 15 2005 | |
| Took a fall while scrambling alone collecting data for a research project. A large rock fell on me after coming loose when I grabbed it. My right forearm muscle was destroyed and left ring finger nearly severed. I then had to hike out to the highway. Trip Report | |

| Matthew Holliman | Route Climbed: South Face - West Side (ascent) / Southeast Slopes (descent) Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2005 | |
| Warm-up day for the '05 Sierra Challenge with Bob. Hoffmann's south slopes are easy and not too memorable, but we found the peak's east/northeast ridge to be a very enjoyable 4th class scramble, with a short chimney, some slabs, a slightly awkward move or two, and a bit of exposure to keep things interesting. After descending Hoffmann's NE Ridge, we continued traversing along a cool knife edge to Tuolumne Peak, another quality class 3-4 scramble via its steep, broken south face. Descended Tuolumne's easy class 2 southeast slopes to meet an old trail (not shown on the 7.5') that led down to the regular May Lake trail, just in time for lunch at the Whoa Nellie. Good scrambling, excellent views, nice flowers--a thoroughly enjoyable half day. | |
