I'd really like to move information from my existing “Northwest Lamarck” page to this page, and then delete my page. I don't think it really makes sense for them to be separate given the proximity of these two summits. Perhaps it might be sufficient to include one section labeled “Northwest Lamarck” on this page? Please let me know what your thoughts are on the matter.
As page owner, you can simply create a new section on the page and copy over whatever Schmed wants. I can do this as well if you're too busy but prefer to ask before going and messing with people's pages.
Alternately, I could adopt this page if you're no longer interested in maintaining it. I climbed the peak last summer and could add some route details from the col and also update information about the trailhead, which is a pain to access unless you can snag a campsite at road's end.

Mt Lamarck from Lamarck Col
Greetings fellow mountaineers. I remember climbing this peak when I was in Troop 276 aka “The Mountain Men” from Palos Verdes Estates, CA back in August, 1977. I was 15 back then and a Star Scout. It was towards the end of our 8 day long term Sierra hike where we started backpacking from the Pine Creek trailhead and ended at North Lake, approx 75 miles total, half of the hike was cross country travel, part of it was on the John Muir Trail. What made this backpack trip very challenging was to go over several cross country passes, particularly Lamarck Col, with heavy external frame packs. The route we used started in Darwin Canyon, we scrambled up class 2 talus on the South side of Lamarck Col at approx 12,900 feet. From Lamarck Col we climbed up easy class 2 talus up the SSE ridge to the wide summit plateau, the true summit was further to the north. This was the first peak I climbed doing the sport of mountaineering off trail, I didn’t know what mountaineering was back then. I would rate this climb 4 out of 5 stars as it is a nice short scramble up the SSE ridge on stable class 2 talus and bracing and great views on the summit plateau; also it is an excellent 13,000 foot peak for beginning mountaineers to climb. The photos already posted (any that were shot from Darwin Canyon and the SE Ridge are helpful, there are over 100 photos) might be the best bet to document this particular route. Hopefully, I can find some photos, wait and see!
