| Bob Sihler | Part of a long day Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2012 | |
| After climbing a couple of the Kearsarge Pinnacles, I went up Kearsarge Basin and gained the ridge. From there, I went to University, sticking as close to the ridge as possible even though I could see the easy Class 2 slog below. Instead, I got lots of Class 3-5 climbing, sometimes with serious exposure, en route to the summit block. | |

| Fun climb on the North side! The descend on the East involved a lot of snow an boulder hopping. | |

| With MaiAnh on a warm sunny day. Climbed a short class 3+ section near the summit due to snow. Some minor difficulties routefinding in the dark above Matlock lake on the return. | |

| SJ | out of time Date Climbed: Nov 12, 2010 | |
| Attempted to day hike from the parking lot. Snow on the trail starting at Onion Valley. This made things slower going and we turned back about 500' vert from the summit. Didn't want to descend the sketchy, icy slabs below Bench Lake in the dark. | |

| haishan | ski traverse Date Climbed: May 28, 2011 | |
| Climbed the north face gully and descended the SE gully in search of better snow. Crux of the day was traversing the complex summit area on loose, snowy class 3 with skis strapped to back in 50mph winds. A beautiful mountain! | |

| Climbed solo via the North Face. There was snow on the ridge which made the traverse "interesting". Fantastic views! One of my favorite climbs. | |

| Miguel Carmona and I skied University Peak from Kearsarge Pass in March of 1982 one day after we skied Mt.Gould from the same area. Both are good AT summits. | |

| Drove to onion valley from San Diego after work, arrived at the trail head at 1:00 am, had a few drinks and started hiking. We camped out at bench lake and climed to the peak from there. Fun scramble and little bit of class 4 and 5 to the top. | |

| Daria | SE chute Date Climbed: Jun 13, 2009 | |
| Headed to Center Peak afterward for a day hike link up. University Peak had a nice slabby summit ridge, dropped my camera on the snow chute on the way up, had to lose and regain some elevation. Cloud cover and light snow fall while we were approaching the real summit made for some interesting scrambling. Amazing views of Center Basin. | |

| iditarod81 | SE Ridge short cut Date Climbed: Jul 31, 2010 | |
| Excellent snow conditions in the "short cut" couloir - was grateful we made it both up and down sans an axe & crampons. Beautiful! | |

| mrchad9 | From Center Basin Date Climbed: Jul 6, 2010 | |
| The last of 7 summits on a 4-day trip from Onion Valley, University taunted me all weekend as I circled around it. Was happy to make it to University Pass and drop the pack, and even happier for the glisside down. Wouldn't want to do the route to Robinson Lake without snow. | |

| Blair | Ski the North Face Date Climbed: Jun 6, 2010 | |
| We ran out of water and time, so we could not summit. We dropped in at 445pm and experienced soupy soft snow conditions, low avy concerns, but we wore beacons. What a experience to ski that... | |

| mhengst | Via Robinson Lake drainage Date Climbed: May 9, 2010 | |
| Had a blast kicking steps up the snow chute but when we reached the ridge the weather turned and we had to descend amid high winds and whiteout conditions. | |
