Date Climbed: Aug 6, 2000

Long approach... first time dropped into the W face higher up to race daylight, next time ('04?) stayed directly on the ridge all the way. Awesome exposure over SW face.

Date Climbed: Sep 18, 2009

West Ridge of Conness, with René Renteria, from Young Lakes. We pitched the first 4 pitches and simulclimbed the rest. There are some fantastic knife-edge portions on this climb that make it a true classic. Timing: left camp at 6 am, started climbing at 8:10 am, reached the summit at 1:01 pm, back in camp at 3:45 pm, back in Tuolumne Meadows at 8:00 pm.

Consolation prize as another team was on the Harding Route when we arrived. We ran up this, stashed our gear and returned the next day to bag the Harding Route.

I got lost in the dark, wore to many cloths, roped up on every pitch, and had a grand time.

I love every route on this mountain, especially the west ridge, which presents a challenging, remote, and beautiful approach. Thank you Eddie for leading the way. The summit register needs a new book if you are headed up there. :)

Kara3-lead pitches then simul climbed  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Sep 15, 2007

Fantastic day. The climb was everything I've ever heard about. This was my second attempt, the first being several years ago and we took the wrong west gully down off the plateau, that we were about 3-hours late to the base, and with intentions of pitching it all out, I decided to bail.

This time, was better! I lead the first and third pitches, and my partner lead the second, and all the subsequent simul climbing pitches. Was a true climb. So great to see folks soloing it.

MichaelJfun but too short  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Jul 28, 2007

Soloed the ridge in approach shoes at a very leisurely pace in 90 minutes. The 5th class section was enjoyable but much too short for the slogging/climbing ratio. Lost at least an hour by screwing up the approach and spent the better part of an hour kicking back on the summit; 8 hours car to car.

Great rock, fantastic exposure, great route. 5hrs from Sawmill to summit via W. Ridge. Screwed up the approach (again) which cost me at least an hour. Still a killer morning out.
