East Face  Sucess!

Climbed the East Face and traversed the ridge over to Twin Peaks.

Yes - the peak is loose, but with careful attention, the E. Face is pretty solid and lots of fun. Easy climb, but with enough exposure to keep it exhilarating!

Route Climbed: East Face (ascent), NW Ridge (descent) Date Climbed: August 9, 2003  Sucess!

Day 1 of the 2003 Sierra Challenge from Green Creek TH. The East Face is probably the best and most fun route on this mountain. Then traversed over to Twin Peaks.

It seems I lied in my summit log entry below. I did visit this peak again, mostly because it was an easy bonus on my way to Twin Peaks--and enjoyed it a good deal more this time. The East Face is a very easy but enjoyable scramble.

Route Climbed: North Ridge ascent / East Face descent Date Climbed: September 6 '03  Sucess!

Traversed to Virginia from Twin Peaks along the South Ridge. We descended the East Face to make a direct route back to Virginia Pass. Looking up from the bottom makes the East Face look much more difficult, but the climbing was fun.

Route Climbed: South Ridge (ascent) / NW Ridge (descent) Date Climbed: Aug 30, 2003  Sucess!

The second stop of a Stanton-Virginia dayhike. I disagree with the entry below: This is a miserable peak. Crappy rock everywhere.



I don't recommend the traverse from Stanton Peak unless you really like loose class 3. I ended up bailing somewhere along the ridge and climbing the east face--also loose class 3. I won't be visiting this peak again soon.
