Climbed with San Jacinto, Miller, Yale and Harvard.
Amazing geology on the way up the SE slopes. Lots of fun class 3 possibilities on very climber-friendly rock.
The summit block was wonderful...

Airy
Took Sid Davis trail to Tamarack Camp, then up a drainage. Got slightly off route below the chockstone. Above the chockstone was a class 4 move to straddle the block for last 6'. Could not figure out a safe way to make the move so stretched my arm to get my hand above the summit. Did Harvard on the way back.

From Tram
Took the Sid Davis XC both up and down. Swung too far to the north and end up postholing through fresh snow on the ridgeline.

Cornell
Little tough finding the correct route but fun climbing when got there. Scary to stand on peak when the wind gusts.

Fun scrambling up to the summit block. My first experience with 4th class rock and it wasn't too bad. With Miller, San J, Folly, Drury, Jean, and Marion.

6 Peaks By Snowshoe
Bryan and I climbed 6 peaks even though there was a foot of fresh powder. Cornell was the first followed by Miller, San Jacinto, Folly, Newton Drury, and Jean. The summit rocks were icy. I scrambled up as high as I could safely. I stood up and my head was two feet lower than the highest rock. I'm still counting it.

Fun Hike
Fun hike to the top, some good scrambling on the summit
I took the tram in the late eighties, it was a lot cheaper then, but it did not rotate. I hiked and scrambled up Cornell, what a cool peak, then hiked up to San Jack and returned to the tram. A fun day for some awesome peaks with the help of the tram.
Friends walked to the saddle to the NW of the peak, I hit the top.

Good climb
Climbed it coming from Yale peak, and then Harvard. A fun climb, and great views from the summit! The next time I went up there, the ranger told us that you "should have ropes for that". Hmmm. I survived!
On saw on the Mt. San Jacinto Message Board that someone set up something by throwing some webbing around the little horn and then easing out. Still wouldn't have done much but at least the fall would be less.

Fun Class 4 to the Top!
Fun climb/scrabble up the side of the peak. The last 20ft or so was a little nerve racking but all hold felt good and strong and easily supported my 280lb frame. The East side of the peak had 20ft visibility and the west side had 20 miles. Very cool cloud barrier.
