I first climbed this mountain in my early twenties and this was the first route I took. I have climbed it a bunch since using both the Piper Trail and Champney Falls Trail.
Alpine Rock Climb - East Face Date Climbed: Nov 21, 2008
Made the hike up Piper, turned left on Nickerson trail (opposite twin sister) and made it above the tree-line. Turned back by 40 mph winds which sent the temps below zero. What a GREAT day!
