Nice page. BTW, the approach from Saddlebag Lake is no more than class 2-3 (without much exposure from what I recall); however, there tends to be snow there throughout much of the year, and consequently the rock is pretty loose.
Thanks for the info. I have always wanted to do the eastern approach to White and/or Conness, but I lived in Tuolumne and it was so much easier to get there via Young Lakes. When I looked over the ridge to check out the eastern approach, I probably wasn't looking at the class 2-3 section. And it sure was snowy! I would think that an ice axe (for self-arrest) would come in handy there through at least July, maybe later.
Well done! One thing that can help is to put a link in the Red Tape section to the Tuolumne Meadows Logistical Center. This page is referenced on most of the peaks in the Tuolumne area.
