| bechtt | East Face/SE Buttress  Date Climbed: Jul 19, 2009 | |
| Climbed with the Gookins from a camp at Lower Geraldine Lake. Sam G. led while Glenn G. trailed a rope for me. The rap is wild and the climb was pretty darn fun as well. Capped off a good weekend with Tehipite Dome (from the ridge) and Spanish Mtn as the other two climbs. | |

| baumann_pat | Trailing 2 ropes Date Climbed: Jun 7, 2009 | |
| Sierra first: I reached the summit before Bob Burd! It will probably never happen again. Hiked in over snow and survived the cold temps of a storm. We camped above Geraldine Lake on Saturday. Sunday brought better weather for the climb (partly cloudy but no precipitation). The formation is very cool with solid & steep face climbing. The trail finding is a bit tough beyond Spanish Pass. | |

| bighornmonkey | Two-fer on the obelisk Date Climbed: Aug 2, 2008 | |
| Summitted the Obelisk two days in a row. Day 1 via the 5.8 (4 pitches) NorthWest face. Day 2 via the 5.7 (6 pitches) SouthWest face. Great climbing on good rock. We camped at one of the Geraldine Lakes. Neddless to say we did no see a soul the entire weekend. If you are going there, take a GPS. I found it really hard to stay on "trail". | |

| Diggler | 2nd time's the charm Date Climbed: Sep 23, 2006 | |
| After a disappointing retreat last year with Lara from the S face, came back & did the N face this year with Eszter. Enjoyable climb for the most part, & managed to piece together an interesting variation for the last pitch that wasn't in the books (the first time?). Beautiful & amazing area, & sweet formation! | |
