| mrchad9 | Great view! Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2010 | |
| Great views all around... didn't find it as loose as some others. Nice route up the SW slope, a wait of a bit as I crouched under a rock for a thunderstorm to pass, and a simple class 4 move or two as I got too far to the left just before the summit. But a very enjoyable trip! | |

| PellucidWombat | Sierra Challenge 2006 - Climbed SW Slope Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2006 | |
| Finishing the grand tour of Vogelsang Pk and Mt Florence, I bagged Simmons on my way to Parson's Pass. I would have also climbed Parson's Peak if a thunderstorm hadn't developed. This route wasn't too bad if approached by a gradual traverse from the southwest. The final ridgeline had some fun class 2-3 scrambling with nice exposure. | |

| Bob Burd | Route Climbed: North Ridge Date Climbed: July 29, 2004 | |
| I followed the North Ridge starting at the confluence of Ireland Creek and the Lyell Fork of the Tuolumne, up Potter Point, across Amelia Earhart, and on to Simmons. A very long day from Tuolumne Meadows. Trip Report | |

| Nelson | Route Climbed: North Face Date Climbed: July, 1975 | |
| Comparing this photo to ones that I have, I realize I went up the north face, arriving at the ridge near or above the saddle. Followed the ridge to the summit. I guess it was 4th class, but at the time I didn't know what that meant. I did this solo, the two friends I was with were playing cribbage at a lake we camped at. | |

| Dave Dinnell | Route Climbed: SW Slope Date Climbed: August 2, 1979 | |
| My 3rd summit in 2 days, having ascended Parsons Peak and Amelia Earhart Peak the previous day; all from Ireland lake. Led by friend and climbing mentor (and my high school civics teacher) Bart O'Brien and accompanied by friends Pat O'Leary and Steve Thomas. Nearly 25 years later and still bagging summits. | |

| mrolph | Route Climbed: West Ridge/West Face Date Climbed: September 20, 2003 | |
| This ended up being a more challenging climb than it looked like from below. I kept traversing right off of class 5 blocks on the ridge until I found a class 4 route up the west face (the last 100 feet below the summit). I descended via Secor's class 2 Southwest Slopes--horrid loose medium talus blocks. | |
