| SarahThompson | WoW!!!  Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2012 | |
| Phenomenal climb with wild exposure! Used the grassy ledges approach and ended up roping up for 3 short pitches of sketchy, slick climbing. The Tiger Tower approach may have been the better option. Simulclimbed from start of route proper to first tower as well as some at the end. Friendly skies all day. Perfect. Incredible. | |

| Fun Climb. The wind was a bit challenging at times...sounded like a Walmart shopping bag whipping by but you could never see it. As for the climb, Whimsical yes, with a few mildly terrifying traverses to keep you on the tips of your toes (literally). | |

| One of the best climbs I've ever done. Similar to Matthes Crest in Tuolumne, only better, imo. | ||

| Climbed the East Ridge with marauders and GlennMerrill on our last day in the Cirque. We approached via Tiger Tower, which was actually really fun climbing. The actual route didn't disappoint either, although we were watching the weather a lot of the time. Good, varied climbing. An involved descent, but that's part of the fun. | |

| Very cool climb on a beautiful sunny day. Probably the hardest 5.6 I've ever climbed. "Piton Pitch" got my attention. | |

| Approached via Tiger Tower gully, the grassy ledges approach was too wet. Superb climbing, although the weather caused some stress. Fortunately it didn't rain until we reached the col on the descent. Great climb overall. | |

| Climbed the East ridge after assuming it was a grade III. Had an epic descent, getting back to camp around 1:30am... Absolutely stellar climb though -- incredible exposure, and its position is unmatched in the Cirque | |

| I loved this climb. You get to make every kind of climbing move in the book. The weather was great. One of the best climbs I have done. | |

| GCutforth | Great Day, | |
| We had a great day. I loved weaving through the summit blocks and the wild exposure moving up the ramp earlier on. We were back in camp by 12:30 pm leaving enough time for me to run up the Skunk Knob. Is that deja vu? | |

| We had a great day in perfect weather and were back at camp by 12:30 p.m. - my partner even climbed the Skunk Knob that afternoon; not me, I slept. | |

| Glorious rock, excellent exposure, and sweet simul-climbing led us up this cruiser in 2hrs from the point we roped up. Tasty! | |

| Second time on the East Ridge, two hours from the rope up at the saddle, then we hiked out that afternoon. We rapped a couloir to the southwest instead of the normal descent. Only recommended if you're bored. | |

| A testimate to my luck as a young man. At the time I did not understand layering or insulation nor did I realize how stupid little I had brought (snickers bar, quart of water, a windproof but non water proof parka) I am lucky the weather held! | |

| Penelope May and I climbed the fabulous East Ridge in August of 2005. We found this route absolutely wonderful climbing, with all the features that "a real" classic should have. Memorable climb. | |

| This is hands-down my favorite 5.6 mountain route. I climbed it with bthere on a 2-month trip to the winds. The exposure is amazing, the rock is even better. Highly recommended! | |
