| laswanso | Stemwinder in winter  Date Climbed: Feb 2, 2013 | |
| Great climb and a good winter option. South facing and gets lots of sun. The climb was mostly snow free. Snow on the last section of exposed 4th class made it more challenging. | |

| Beautiful day with only patches of snow on the slope above the couloir. Also climbed the two pinnacles immediately south of the summit. | |

| Interesting alpine climb; not so classic but I did enjoy it. Too bad we felt we needed a rope a couple of times, would love to solo it. | |

| Took my Dad up this route for his 1st alpine climb, 1st multi-pitch (kinda), 1st trip into whitney portal, 1st trip above 12K...it was alot of 1st's for him. He had a blast. Good route, fun and mostly 3rd class. The so-called exposed slab move is basic...people blow that up more than it is...my 0.02 | |

| I have climbed it nine times. Relatively easy access to spectacular views of surrounding higher peaks (Whitney, Muir, McAdie, Irvine, Russell, Carillon, etc.). | |

| cab | From LBSL Date Climbed: Jun 26, 2010 | |
| A little sandy on the way up (which made for a quick descent) so tried to stay on the more solid Class 3 rocks where possible. Amazing views of the Whitney Group from the top. | |

| Awesome route up the south face. The two crux spots are more mental than anything otherwise this is just an exposed class 3 scramble with spectacular views. As Miguel said, wasted time on the approach with unreachable or cliffed out ledges. Descended via the east gully with the big "chockstone" (the only gully I was trying to miss). Pictures | |

| Terrific snow climb up the SE couloir and across the summit plateau. Some mixed snow/rock scrambling near the summit. We glissaded most of the way down to LBSL. Great day! Went with mtndonkey. | |

| An early winter storm led to a beautiful white ascent from LBL up the "Secret Route". 30+ hikers on the summit for a memorial. Not a dry eye there. | |
