| South ridge from Twin Peaks pass. Tagged the east summit as well and descended southeast gully which wasn't as bad as advertised. | |

| Fun weekend camped at Return Lake, climbing Grey Butte, Stanton Peak, Virginia Peak, and Twin Peaks. I started from Green Lake TH and went over Virginia Pass and looped back past Summit Lake on the return. Note: There was nothing to sign the register with when I was there. | |

| boyblue | From Par Value Lakes Date Climbed: Aug 15, 1982 | |
| From highest Par Value Lake, I climbed up a steep narrow chute (short ugly slog) that ends at the southern end of the eastern-most ridge of the complex that is Twin Peaks. Followed this ridge north to where it was possible (and easiest) to travel west over the top of the east peak and then on to the main west peak. Exited down the ravine to the SE and hiked back to TH at Green Creek. | |

| Camped at the head of Virginia Canyon after coming in from Green Lakes. Enjoyed the summit of Virginia a bit more but an exciting route over to Twin with lots of routefinding. | |

| Adamus | South Ridge from Virginia Date Climbed: Jul 26, 2009 | |
| Went up ridge from Virginia. The final stretch, going around the pinnacles was fun. Most of my route wasn't more than loose class 3. I descended the chute from between the summits and found it to be fairly fast and not too loose, taking less than an hour to get back down to the valley. | ||

| Desert Solitaire | South Ridge Date Climbed: Jul 30, 2007 | |
| Traversed the ridge-direct from Virginia Peak. Loose, crumbly, complicated route finding, lots of ups and downs over small gendermes and towers, but not too bad. Fun class 3 near the middle and them the summit mass, before the long long long scree and talus descent all the way down to Virginia Canyon. Paid an homage to my own twin sister, Karla on the register. : ] | |

| steve_hiebert | Twin Peaks via snow gully to S. Ridge Date Climbed: Jun 17, 2006 | |
| We climbed (me and my friend Dee) a snow gully from the east to reach the south ridge just below the summit. Descent was via the SE drainage. Both up and down were under good snow conditions. | |

| derbilly | South ridge to SE gulley Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2006 | |
| 10th and last day of the Sierra Challenge. I was stymied 2 weeks earlier when I ascended and traversed through several gulleys on the west face. Back two weeks later to climb Virginia Peak, I traversed over from Twin Peaks Pass for an exciting class 3 climb up the south ridge. | |

| HikeMonkey | Route Climbed: SE Drainage, sort of Date Climbed: September 2001 | |
| Monty and I intended to stay out one night and climb Virginia and Twin out of Green Lake trailhead. We climbed Twin on the first day, aiming for the gully between the two peaks, but headed up one chute to the left and ended up in a loose, somewhat steep gully. We camped at Return Lake and hiked out the next day without climbing Virginia. | |

| Matthew Holliman | Route Climbed: Fun South Ridge (ascent) / Not-so-fun SE drainage (descent) Date Climbed: June 5, 2004 | |
| Virginia-Twin day hike out of Green Creek TH. The traverse from Virginia to Twin Peaks was great fun, exciting class 3 as advertised. Excellent views of Whorl and Matterhorn. | |

| Joe Hanssen | Route Climbed: SE Gully ascent / South Ridge descent Date Climbed: September 6 '03 | |
| Debated approaching from Green Lake TH or Twin Lakes TH and opted for Green after reading Bob's report. Only a handfull climb this peak each year. Simple climb, but the South Ridge was fun. We stayed on the ridge crest most of the way, climbing to the East around a few sections. | |

| Bob Burd | Route Climbed: South Ridge (ascent) SE drainage (descent) Date Climbed: Aug 9, 2003 | |
| Day 1 of the 2003 Sierra Challenge. This was the bonus peak after Virginia. The South Ridge from Twin Peaks Pass was very exciting class 3 and great fun. The descent was a boulder slog and rather sucked. | |

| Bob Burd | Route Climbed: South Ridge (ascent), West Face (descent) Date Climbed: August 21, 1998 | |
| The summit is very unsatifying - fairly flat. But descending the West Face with a full pack made it quite interesting. Trip Report | |
