Route Climbed: North to South traverse. Date Climbed: 09/09/01
Started from Sam Mack Meadow at 7:35 am, ascended the East Face of T-Bolt, then traverse South to Starlight Peak , North Pal, Pole, and continue traversing to Mt. Sill. Solo.
I climbed over from Thunderbolt on the Class 4 ridge crest and then up to the top of Starlight's impressive 5.4 summit pinnacle. This was great fun! After Starlight, I soloed over to North Palisade, Polemonium, Sill, and finally over to Middle Palisade and down the South Fork of the Big Pine.
Route Climbed: Traverse from Mt. Sill Date Climbed: 08/05/00
I started from Lake Elinore, in the South Fork region. I ascended Mt. Sill, traverse to Polemonium Peak, North Pal, and then to Starlight Peak. I descended the same way back to Lake Elinore. I free climbed with regular hiking boots. The most trouble was route finding, especially down climbing class 4/5 in my boots. If you like exposure, this is good climb. But scetchy if you are solo.
