Extra Bag Along East Ridge
With Crescent Moon Couloir under my belt in quick time, I had enough energy to go tag The Sisters. Did the east ridge over east Sister then on to the actual summit. I found this ascent to be more exposed and nearly as steep as CMC. Easy bag but I took the dirty trail descent on the backside; the ascent was a bit too steep and slushy to crampon back down.
Traversed to base of Round Top then boot glissaded down to lake. BOY was it hot! Didn't see a soul all day. :)

from saddle
Just out for some exercise .. snowshoed up to Round Top / Sisters saddle from Carson Pass. Scrambled up east Sister first, then looked over and decided to do the west Sister too.
Beautiful day, warm and not much wind .. looked like the skiers & boarders were having a blast.

Also did the east Sister in April 2005 after doing the Crescent Moon Couloir on Round Top.

Ridge Traverse
(June 2008) Left from Woods Lake TH. Gained the west ridge from Round Top Lake. Stayed very near to the ridgeline the entire way. Many fun class 3 spots. Climbed Round Top afterwards.
(May 2010) Black Butte, The Sisters, Round Top, and Elephants Back from Carson Pass.

East Ridge
Tagged them from the Round Top saddle after Fourth of July Peak. Went up Round Top after. A nice day. Some snow patches, but no ice.
Quick hike up the East Ridge after summiting Round Top. Couldn't quite convince myself to tag both summits, but enjoyed the view.

Both Sisters
Great wildflowers displays on the trail from Carson Pass. Once I hit the saddle between Sisters and Round Top, I headup up the West and down and up the east Sister. Nice views from both.
Climbed up the saddle between the sisters from Round Top Lake. Bagged the west one, then traversed eastward over the east Sister then Round Top. Fantastic hike if you can handle the weekend afternoon crowds on the descent.

Both Sisters
Tagged both Sisters from Round Top Lake. Hiked the west trail from Woods Lake, then climbed to the saddle between the Sisters, up the West Sister, traverse to the East Sister, finished the loop on the east trail of Woods Lake. This finished a great Friday that include a summit of Hawkins Peak.

That long traverse with Matthew (described below) was really great fun. The Thimble was the most thrilling of the summit blocks, harder than Round Top even. Trip Report

East Ridge
