Winter climb
Took the opportunity to climb this in a low snow year. Ice on the talus and frigid wind made this less enjoyable than my usual summer climbs. Register had been placed Sept 2010 and already had a couple dozen entries.

N East Ridge
Northern Yosemite's high country views are the payoff. North faces of Conness and North Peak seem within touching distance.

Quite a hot day. The mosquitoes were ravenous all the way up to almost 12,000'.

Virginia Lakes
One of my favorite dayhikes. Up in a half day trip from Virginia Lakes, splendid views all around from the summit.

Northeast Ridge
Nice dayhike from the Virginia Lakes trailhead. After leaving the trail, I had the mountain all to myself. A little cool and windy, but the views were worth it. Didn't find a summit register.

Fun warm-up hike for the 2007 Sierra Challenge. Excellent views. Then traversed the entire ridge to Dunderberg.

Fun dayhike from Virginia Lakes TH. Weather was great.
No summit register. Maybe the next person up could bring one.
Route Climbed: Norhteast Ridge Date Climbed: August 20, 2005
Climbed this peak with Greg Enright on a search for an overdue day hiker. We summited to check the summit register to see if the missing hiker had signed in, then descended the North Ridge (the subject's reported ascent route). We found the missing hiker, unfortunately deceased, on the east side of the north ridge. She had apparently taken a loooong fall to the glacier/snowfield in the cirque below. We declined the helo ride out, and continued back to the trailhead on foot.

No ice axe, no crampons for the first time this year! At last, a nice class 1 hike on a perfect day. Easy, easy ascent on mostly consolidated scree/talus.
Route Climbed: Northeast ridge from Virginia lakes Date Climbed: october 5 2002
Nice fall climb. We didnt see any other people, had perfect weather and some new snow, thigh deep near the peak . It was so clear it seemed like you could see hundreds of miles.
Route Climbed: Northeast Ridge Date Climbed: July 6 '02
Typical rocky hike, it would be a much better trip in the winter with skis. Good views from Dunderburg to Dana. The Northeast Ridge seemed more like a class 1.
Route Climbed: Virginia Lakes to northeast ridge Date Climbed: 5/18/2002
Great ski tour with good spring snow conditions. Lack of acclimatization caused me to use up too much time napping, so I ended up only reaching the northeast ridge.
