| telemarkdude | Route up East Drainage  Date Climbed: May 31, 1996 | |
| Lots of social trails going up through scree and loose gravel/sand to the north (hiker's right) of the drainage. Stay left of the creek all the way up the drainage to the small cliff with a waterfall. Here the trail turns right and follows the base of the cliff band skirting around it. I did a 3rd/4th class variation up through the broken blocks a little right of center on the cliff band that was much more interesting than the steep and slippery scree trail. The rest of the route is on much better trail. | |

| so the weather was really bad, the first day of our weekend snowstorm. The begining was really foggy but as i made my way up, i was above the fog. The last part with all the scree and boulders was really scary, one wrong step and i was sending huge boulders down the hill and i was afraid to start a landslide or break an ankle or something. Once i reached the summit i was looking over where the springs would be but were covered by the clouds. One wierd thing i noticed was that it was much warmer above the clouds than it was when i was down in the valley section. | |
