| The line on the topo map is not the route I'm trying to describe on this page. The route I climbed joins up with the Rocky Canyon trail just north of the small lake on the ridge. See the google map I posted. | |

| Camped on a shelf above Pyramid Lake. Great views of Freel, Ralston, Tallac, Dick/Jacks, and parts of Lake Tahoe. Direct route straight up the weakness in the east face. Lots of boulder hopping, but straightforward. | |

| one of 4 out of 7 in our group who started out that made it to the summit. the last 500 ft of scramble up to the summit was sketchy; a lot of tallus on scree just waiting to glissade down with you as soon as you stand on it. really hard on the knees on the way down without trekking poles, at least for me... | |

| I couldn't go any farther at about 9,000', for a beginner this route was too hard. I summited the next year via Rocky Canyon... | |

| Glisading down was awesome! Not as fun as Shasta though. | |
