| shknbke | East ridge  Date Climbed: Jan 17, 2009 | |
| Excellent winter peak with pretty much zero avy danger as long as you avoid a steep section just below the ridge by staying high on a shoulder in the trees. We got lucky with a rare, calm day in Jan. See TR. Homestake offers some fine views since it is in the middle of the action. | |

| I was able to pick my way up to the summit ridge. There are really no definitive routes from the west side. The trick is coming down and finding where you parked without having to backtrack, which is what I ended up doing. | |

| Went up the east ridge and down the NE shoulder via Slide Lake. Cold and windy ahead of an October snow storm, just started to get some flurries on the summit, so unfortunately missed out on the views. | |

| crzyjt | East Ridge ski descent Date Climbed: Jan 2, 2008 | |
| Climbed East Ridge from highway 24 to summit with ski descent. Perfect weather, just a little windy on top. Skied East Ridge due to high avi danger following recent storm. Fun day. Just under 8 hours round trip. There's lots of potential in the area for spring ski mountaineering. | |
