| SarahThompson | South Buttress & East Face, Left Side Cracks Date Climbed: Jul 1, 2012 | |
| 7/1/12 - Climbed the popular 3 pitch South Buttress route on our 1st day in the Cirque to test the waters. I led the long P2. Finished on the 5.8 left K-Crack. Fun route to a cool summit and a great intro to the area. 7/3/12 - Went back for the much more committing East Face, Left Side Cracks route. 11 pitches, pretty tiring. I only led P2, P4 & P6. Top part felt tough for 5.7. Awesome! | |

| Great route, fewer mosquitoes later in the year but taking a chance on bad weather. | |

| Longest route on Pingora, with lots of quality climbing. Hail, rain, and lightning started two pitches from the top. Ran down the gully to the rap station, got soaked on the hike back to camp. | |

| Great climb. Hands down my favorite climb to date. Had the whole mountain to ourselves and not a mosquito in site. Thanks Matt for another safe and successful trip. | |

| applewood | E Face History question | |
| I have the '68 (2nd) edition of the Bonney guide for reference and wonder if anyone knows if this classic NE face route is same one listed there as the E face (IV, 5.8, A3, 1st asc. by Daley and Yensan in 8/62)? There is no NE face route listed in that guide...but it sounds the same. If they are the same route I find it remarkable that that route is now only a 5.8 without any aid!!! I climbed the ESE face route (IV, 5.7 A3, a Becky, Marts, Davis route from 7/63) with 2 friends in the summer of '77 (I think the E face sounded too difficult for us and our RR, and PA climbing shoes...) There is no mention of that climb anywhere on the net these days - it was great! Although the top 300' of A3 (a single hairline crack on the blank upper wall) is hard to imagine going free at any moderate grade. As it was, we took awhile doing it (2 full pitches, all small stoppers if I recall), and ended up spending the night atop Pingora... waiting for the sun to rise. | |

| Fun climb. Four other parties on the route, so we got a bit logjammed. | |

| jamesmc2 | Mosquitos!!!!!!! Date Climbed: Jul 30, 2011 | |
| In the Wind's for three days and two night. Worst mosquito's I have ever encountered in six trips to the winds. I got over 400 mosquito bites. My partner had even more. All three pitches of the South Buttress 5.6, 5.6 and 5.8 K crack were great. | |

| Had this climb to ourselves on a Sunday. Hardly a cloud in the sky, great sustained climbing. The 5.8 offwidth seemed harder. | ||

| builttospill | S Butress, K Cracks Date Climbed: Jul 24, 2009 | |
| Climbed the S. Buttress (with K Cracks last pitch) as the first of three routes on three consecutive days in the Cirque. We had GREAT weather, and the climbing was super-relaxed. Alpine cragging! | |

| Easy but beautiful climb on incredibly solid rock. It started showering/hailing as we topped out. NE Face, you're next. | |

| SE Buttress... Really awesome climb. Great quality rock. We did it in 4 pitches though... 8 seems like it would take forever. | |
