N ridge + W ridge solo
Absolutely amazing! Solid rock and sustained interesting climbing. The downclimb crux on the north ridge is quite a bit easier than 5.6. Trip report

Sawmill to Summit
Standard route from Sawmill Campground to plateau. Great fun gaining more experience and fantastic views from summit! Unsuccessful finding the East Ridge route for the descent. Next time.

From Young Lakes
Backpacked at Young Lakes and hiked up the trail. I'm pretty new to mountains, so this was pretty high up there in terms of fear level at the exposed summit block. It was a great peak though. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Hopefully it's just the beginning!

East Ridge
Up the east ridge from Alpine Lake. Seems more like class 2 than 3. Lovely hike capping off a great weekend, enjoyed the final section to the summit.

A Few Times
Climbed it a couple of times back in the '70's from the West side, and once with a heavy backpack exiting down the NE couloir.

Done this a couple of times, an awesome intro into alpine climbing. Skeered shatless goin solo on the North Ridge! Shocked and awed by the massive West Ridge.
From saddlbag over the glacier and up the Y(?) Couliour. Technically easy and fun!

East Ridge
Climbed via East Ridge from Sawmill Campground. The East Buttress is a very worthy scramble and has great views. I would recommend this route rather than Alpine Lake since it's more aesthetic and less bouldery. Outstanding, diverse mountain!

Independence Day Success.
Great fun! We went a little off track on the ridge to avoid lots of slushy snow at the top. This meant we had to climb up some class 4 stuff on the buttress. Feeling lazy, we glissaded down via the "Glacier Route and Y-Couloir." A fun day on the rock, awesome route.

East ridge
Left Saddleback lake at 630am w Felix. Got off track, ended up south of Alpine Lake. Scrambled our way to Alpine Lake then to the East Ridge. Felix stopped at summit plateau while I tagged the summit block and returned. Great views, fun scrambling, great day.
