| Rick Kent | Winter Dayclimb - West Ridge Date Climbed: Jan 17, 2009 | |
| Dayclimbed up and back starting from around 4750 ft elevation. Brought crampons and ice axe but didn't use them. I brought only 1.5L of water but with the cool temp I didn't need any more. Scree slope above 11,000 feet was truly memorable. Lacking acclimation it took 10 hours to summit with a round-trip time of 18 hours. With a light pack and proper acclimation and more daylight I would expect to shave a few hours off that. | |

| cdog | spring break in the desert  Date Climbed: Mar 20, 2001 | |
| This is a great training route if you enjoy long scrambles, BIG elevation gains (10000 ft), and solitude. My roomate and I climbed this during spring break 2001. Since it was the end of winter, we experienced some deep snow wallows (6'), but mostly lots of loose tallus. There were some class 3 sections. We spent 2 nights on the mountain (if you plan on 1 day you better be very fit!!), starting from the sparkplug mine and ascending the ridge (south spur variation). Once gaining this crest it is a simple route heading east for miles. | |
