Route Climbed: From Italy Pass Date Climbed: 2 July 2005
An easy three day hike with overnights at Honeymoon Lake. *High* water conditions, including a 150 ft ford at Upper Pine Lake and some dicey stream crossings above Honeymoon. Gorgeous views, one of my favorite areas in the Sierra.
Route Climbed: Slope from Italy Pass Date Climbed: 7/4/03
Beautiful day and spetacular views along the climb. Hiked it from camp at Lower Pine Lake. This made for a longer day than anticipated, and Honeymoon Lake would probably be a more ideal place to camp.
Route Climbed: West Ridge Date Climbed: June, 2002
I climbed the west ridge on a trip to the Italy Lake area to climb Bear Creek Spire from the west. The ridge is a simple class 2 scramble with great views of surround peaks including Mount Dade, Mount Abbot and Bear Creek Spire.
Route Climbed: South Slope Date Climbed: July 10, 2004
The final stop on a Merriam/Royce/Julius Caesar dayhike. Great views, although I was more concerned at the time about making it back down through Granite Park before dark...
I climbed this peak many years ago, the summer of 1975. It was on a backpacking trip that my parents sent me on. (something like summer camp). Anyway, it was these early backpacks that really got me hooked on the Sierras. I remember this peak well. It was really my first Sierra summit. The only other mountain I had ever summatted up to this point was Mount Lassen with my dad.

Route Climbed: N Chute to NE Ridge Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2001This route proved to be quite exciting with several sections of 3/4th class along the ridge. The N Chute is dangerously loose.
