| Larry Laverty | South Slope  Date Climbed: May 30, 2013 | |
| My route to the top: Leave Sunrise Trailhead, wade across Tenaya Creek, go 7 to Clouds Rest, come back 5 to the split for Sunrise HSC, go 2+ to Sunrise Lakes, up half the ridge to the north to a traverse to Mildred Lake, up the south slope of Tenaya to the top. Down by way of the Southwest Ridge and such. Like most folks I'd driven by this luscious piece of rock countless times and the view down on Tenaya Lake was more than I could've imagined. | |

| 14 pitches of fun without pros: I had a rack on me and my buddy carried the rope. Never placed anything and the rope remained on his back. I was feeling comfortable and just kept going up. Before we knew it, we were standing atop. :O It was awesome, but felt almost too short. Fantastic view and I really did enjoy the climb - LOVE the low angle slab!! Next time though I will solo it without all these "dead-weight"... | |

| I climbed free-solo. It's totally against my climbing philosophy to take un-needed risks, but it felt right that day. Fun, easy climbing. | |

| Soloed the buttress with the 5.8 exit variation. That section actually felt like climbing for 20 ft. Cool route. | |

| Marmaduke | Fun Afternoon Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2012 | |
| Took the path to south of lake and just went through the trees up to the rock. Found path from there. Great clear views. We took our exchange student from Sweden with us and she loved the summit. Very worthwhile hike. Was planning to do Watkins after but the rest of my group was done, oh well. | |

| Paul86 | Awesome! | |
| Soloed this climb about a year ago. Great climb! Would not recommend a solo unless you feel comfortable on at LEAST 5.7 trad leads. Be smart. | |

| Fun solo on a cloudless day. Beautiful clean white granite and excellent views ! For the finish I took the rightmost "loose 4th class" variation as per supertopo, since it ended closer to the summit. Nice half-day excursion, though next time I think I'll just drop down the ridge to the trail instead of thrashing down through the boulders & such. | |
