This was the first time I climbed with a guide in the Sierras. It's a great way to go for someone with my age and moderate ability. Highly recommended for the competent, fit tourist. The rest of the folks posting are hardmen (or women) and I admire you for it - but I feel safer following on a route like this. The route is a step up over the class 3 and lower peak bagging I'd been doing and it was a blast.

Climbed the U-Notch and Chimney variation to the summit with Brad Mastros. Mostly good ice in the U-Notch. Great climb!

asmrzN.Pal via U-Notch in Winter  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Feb 19, 1993

Bryan Johnson and I skied to the (summer) morraine camp below Mt. Gayley Feb. 18, 1994 and the next morning postholed the snowed-in glacier to the base of the U-Notch. Climbed N.Pal via the U-Notch and the upper chimney. One of the best winter adventures I ever participated on as the temperatures on the ridge were frigid even with one piece pile and Goretex suits and plastic boots. We JUST managed to get that one.

Came in the back way from the West Chute. Found the two pitches from U-Notch more interesting than I expected, but great fun.
Descended the LeConte route.

Skirted the 'schrund, then up nice hard snow ice and finally the 2 pitches of 5th class at the top. Started too late and got back to camp at dark.

Great climb up the U Notch. The bergschrund is larger than I thought. Chimney was interesting. A little route finding is necessary to go across the top. Good 4th class, just don't slip.

Great day of climbing...around 12 hours from camp to camp. Interesting climbing in the that chimney and an interesting mantle to get on the summit. We took a couple of quick pictures and got moving.
