Route Climbed: Palisade Traverse from Thunderbolt Date Climbed: August 17, 2002  Sucess!

Polemonium was peak #4 for the day for ScottyS and I, we traversed over Starlight and North Pal from Thunderbolt. What a cool traverse! For us first timers to the traverse, route finding was tedious, but the climbing was way fun.

Route Climbed: The V Notch Date Climbed: August 1999  Sucess!

3 of us ( myself, Tim Winiarski and Kevin Jellison ) climbed the V Notch under full on water ice conditions. The 'shrund was horrific. Luckily, Tim is good at vertical ice after playing at Ouray, CO. Got a late start and wound up having a cold bivy near the summit of Mt. Sill. Videotaped it too.

Route Climbed: Traverse from N. Pal Date Climbed: August 17, 2002  Sucess!

Traversed from Thunderbolt to Starlight to N.Pal to Polemonium to Sill with bearbnz. We freeclimbed most of the route, with three rappels and three belayed (probably unneccesary) pitches total. Heavy packs and little route knowledge (Secor's book only) made for slow time --- OK, maybe lack of fitness contributed! Left the car around 530, summited Thunderbolt around 1100, summited Sill around 2100. Waited for daylight to decend an east couloir of Sill and walk down to the S. Fork Trail. Got to the car at 1330 on Aug. 18 and drove home to get some sleep.

Route Climbed: Traverse from Thunderbolt. Date Climbed: July 6, 02  Sucess!

Me & Ian M. started from the ranger hut, above the waterfalls. Ascended up Thunderbolt, and traverse the Palisades to Mount Sill and back to ranger hut. This was my third time, and it is still a thrill without a rope.

Route Climbed: From the U-Notch Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2000  Sucess!

We took longer than expected on North Palisade, but still had enough time to get this one in, too. Glad we did. Easy and fun climbing. Trip report.

Route Climbed: Traverse from North Palisade Date Climbed: August 1, 2001  Sucess!

This was the fourth peak of my CA 14er tour.



From the U-Notch, I headed up and right on rock that was never harder than Class 4. Then I traversed left along a ridge to the summit of Polemonium. After bagging Polemonium, I headed over to Sill, then finally over to Middle Palisade and down the South Fork of the Big Pine.
