| CMC hike. We saw one other person who tagged along with us to the summit. Unsurprisingly, there were plenty of people on the adjacent 14ers. It started off a little chilly, but warmed up nicely when we got the sun. Almost no wind. We passed a good sized convoy of 4WDers going up to the lake as we were returning. | |

| Whoah, loved this mountain, loved the route...not as much snow as there could have been on the slopes, but fresh snow on the scramble sections kept things interesting. Absolutely beautiful day, took a million photos - thanks to Senad for partnering to the summit! | |

| Added this peak on as a bonus peak since it's so close to the connecting point to North Star. Cool little summit really. Scrambled with Stephanie Lynn. | |

| Stayed mostly to the ridge crest, some early fall snow made it a little more interesting. This was my final 13er in the Tenmile/Mosquito range. | |

| SarahThompson | Nice winter scramble Date Climbed: Feb 23, 2007 | |
| Jamie and I found a reasonably avy-safe line up the south face from Wheeler Lake to the Clinton - Wheeler saddle. Our route is probably not advisable though in times of high avy danger. The scramble from there to the summit was a lot of fun. | |

| beefcake | first real class 3 Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2007 | |
| south ridge route... we did not even attempt the jeep trail in our subaru so we hiked in, in its entirety. once we gained the ridge the fun began and it was a ton of fun. the rock was untrustworthy in most spots and there was a lot of scrambling and the final pitch to the summit was the most intense..i thrived in this environment. i want more more more class 3's and even higher. | |

| I took my 24 year old nephew up this, and it was his first real mountain. The road really does suck, as my 1995 4Runner made it past the first two major obtacles before calling it quits before the 3rd at about 3/4 mi. up from the mine. We took a slighly higher route for the final half of the climb, rather than descending on loose rock. We found a steep dirt chimney that we gained the ridge from. There were a couple of ledge traverses on the east side, followed by more scrambling sections on mostly solid rock. The last 30 feet to the summit are on a narrow exposed ridge making a dandy finish. | |

| The headwall on the south spur does NOT go at 4th class, despite appearances that it will. It actually requires a severely exposed chimney climb where every other hold is loose. This leads to a second chimney that has mediocre hands and almost no foot holds. Traverse left of the headwall on easy ledges to a dirt gully. It will save you the horrific down climb I endured to undo my attempt on the headwall. | |

| What a great little scramble. I personally think it's one of the top two in the Mosquito/Ten Mile. I didn't think it was very loose at all and the routefinding was no problem. Had bluebird skies and linked it up with Clinton, Mcnamee and Traver for a grand tour of the area. | |

| Great scramble on a seldom-used rige. The "normal" south ridge is also a classic. | |
