Nice day  Sucess!

Nice climb from Saddlebag, took the easy route. Quite a long day, and the scrambling was fun. Ended up I think 2 chutes south from the main chute on the climb up to the south slope, which required a couple solid class 3 moves through a narrow corridor between a steep snowback (too steep w/out crampons) and the side of hte chute. Took the more popular class 2 route down.

West Ridge and North Ridge  Sucess!

West Ridge -- July 26, 2009 -- Mary and I did this fantastic route from a base camp at Young Lakes. Easy cross-country travel led to the start of the route, where we pitched it out for 4 rope-lengths and then simul-climbed the rest of the way to the summit. Spent about 4 hours on route and then 2.5 hours descending back to Young Lakes. The descent was long, but not overly demanding. We spent another night at Young Lakes before hiking out the next morning. Awesome 3 days in the Yosemite backcountry.

North Ridge -- July 21, 2012 -- Mary and I did this one to finish the tour of Mount Conness (Harding Route is too difficult). Enjoyable, but mostly easy climbing. We simul-climbed the whole route in approach shoes. Descent was a bit longer than expected, but made it to the Tuolumne store in time for a late lunch.

2nd time's the charm  Sucess!

Teamed up with fellow madman Squishy for a spectacular whirlwind tour. It was about 26 hours from Sacramento to the summit and back. First attempt was via the west ridge in June. Was turned back a mere 200 feet from the summit due to lightning. Very scary! The North Ridge was beautiful and great fun. The routefinding on the descent was interesting...

South Slope from the East  Sucess!

My partner and I had the whole trail and mountain to ourselves on the day after Labor Day. The summit register could use another notebook. I signed a piece of paper someone left, but everything else was really full of signatures.

Two-fer  Sucess!

Summited North Peak via the NW Ridge and continued along the North Ridge to Conness. Nice exposure and great views! It was great to go light and do it car-to-car in a day. The West Ridge looks awesome...I'm planning to go back to Conness for that one!

South Slope via White Mountain  Sucess!

The otherwise uninteresting outing finally got semi-interesting at the top. Perhaps we should have done another route, but I wanted White as well.

East ridge  Sucess!

Fun hike with Glenn Baker. On our way down from Tahoe, we decided to hike this one. It was a perfect day with nice light cloud cover, and heavy mosquitoes. Still, a great hike, the east ridge was very nice.

east buttress to east ridge  Sucess!

The east ridge is amazing! Recommendation: stay on the actual ridge crest as much as possible for more fun.

South Slope from the East  Sucess!

Boring route. Smoke from So Cal fires ruined views. Still, better than work!

N. Ridge  Sucess!

Solo after climbing NW Ridge of North Peak. Met 3 guys from East side at the beginning of the ridge a we had a nice chat. One of them told me to climb the 1st tower on the right and it was indeed much better than going on the left side. Fun scramble, especially the last section after the 2nd tower.
