| T-bolt to Polemonium with Shay. Altitude + regular sick = "double whammy". From Polemonium you can descend the back side of the U-notch back to Dusy Basin. If you approached from Dusy Basin, this is the best way back (apparently dropping off the backside of Sill sucks). | |

| I don't really remember getting up to the summit, but the downclimb toward Sill was spectacular. Razor thin arete/ridge with edges on one side, miles of exposure. Awesome! | |

| seth@LOKI | go east man go east...almost lost my life on this one. Date Climbed: Jun 21, 2003 | |
| When cammerons book says to climb toward a tower on the North, go east or lookers left around the corner to the east side traverse from the U-notch well before reaching the tower. I pulled a big nasty rock of about went down with it. Nearly lost my foot with it and had a heli ride out after repels and hobbling accross the Pal Glacier. \Thanks Kieth and Inyo SAR. | |

| Rick Kent | From the U-Notch Date Climbed: Jun 30, 2006 | |
| Climbed up (probably not the typical route) from the U-Notch with Courtney P. Climbing without rock shoes was "interesting" and took three pitches. We descended toward Sill and dropped back down to the glacier via Glacier Notch. | |

| ghoulwe2 | Polemonium Peak & N. Palisade Date Climbed: Jul 1, 2006 | |
| After climbing North Palisade (see N. Pal log for approach info.), we climbed Polemonium by way of a short crack on the right(looking up), then an easy ramp to a notch on the ridge. A short, fun 5.2ish pitch leads to the summit. We added webbing & rings to the rap stations. | |

| cp0915 | from the U-Notch (funky variation) | |
| After doing North Palisade via the U-Notch Couloir & Chimney Variation, we headed over to Polemonium Peak. Not sure of the route from the notch, we made our own. 3 short pitches of pretty funky climbing. Not too hard, but attention-getting. Descended L-snowfield below Sill. My last CA 14er. Thanks RK for being there. (June 06) | |

| physics | Route Climbed: V Notch Couloir Date Climbed: September 18, 2005 | |
| A great climb up a classic route in hard water ice conditions. The berg was gaping open making for 28-32 ft of ~80 degree ice climbing right up the middle of it. 6 pitches total to the top of the notch: the first two were up the right side of the couloir and then the last 4 on the left or middle. Reached the top of the notch at 3:30PM, summited Polemonium in about an hour after traversing over, and then came down the "L-shaped" couloir on Sill to glacier notch - was <100 feet from the summit of Sill but bypassed it because I know I will be coming back anyway to do the Swiss Arete. In the end, a long day but a great ice climb. Can't wait for more sierra ice in the future ... | |

| Almost a bonus peak. The 4th class knife edge isn't that bad if you can get over the exposure. | |
