| thephotohiker | Almost Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2009 | |
| Made a 1-day attempt at this summit. Hiked from the Little Rock Creek trailhead to the lakes at the base of the summit, then climbed on boulders, talus, and scree to the bottom edge of the snow in the couloir. Climbed the couloir to the ridge, then hiked along the ridge toward the summit. Unfortunately I was bone tired and the summit block was blocked by a 20+ foot deep drift of snow. I decided to live another day and save the summit block for another time. Only 600' of distance and 100' of elevation to go! | |

| urnotreal | tin cup solo Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2004 | |
| decided on this route after seeing it from the top of trapper. left tin cup trail about five miles in at a good size scree field. went straight up toward como peaks and headed west once above timberline. made for an unbelievably beautiful, albeit long approach. little creeks, small tarns, and wildflowers galore. thunderstorms forced a quick descent to kerlee lake and a bushwack out. as great as the ascent and summit were, the descent proved to be equally as miserable. not sure on total mileage but this route made for an 18 hour day. | |

| alpine climber | five peak traverse Date Climbed: Jun 8, 2007 | |
| Combined with the Lonesome Bachelor and the Como Peaks for a spectacular traverse. From other SPs, this looks like a place for many past, present, and future epics. | |

| T Sharp | Main Couloir | |
| Climbed with Luke and Amy, great trip but I put a hole in Lukes Kiva with my ice ax,[Mountain Hardware replaced the panel]. Amy had a beautiful lead up the couloir that reached 45 deg at the top. | |

| benjohnson | long day Date Climbed: Jul 1, 2005 | |
| A poor route choice lead to a long day. The climb up was great, but rather than descend the couloir used to come up (no crampons or axes, my parrtner and I decided to descend the NW side of the peak and make our way back around. After being cliffed out and adjusting our route numerous times, we made it back to camp at the high lakes after 19 hours (car to peak to camp). | |
