Route Climbed: Ruby Lake and Mono Pass Date Climbed: July 6 2005
Reached the pass after about 1/4 mile hike on snow. There was still significant amounts of snow around the pass but it is doable if you are careful! We didn't climb the summits as we didn't have gear with us and my friends were concerned about the late time of day. Ruby Lake still had much snowpack and was beautiful.

Just did this in May, went back to put the register book in a plastic bag. Clouds rolled in about 11am, completed the task and ran from lightning back to Mosq.Flat.

Yes, a great time with Dave (see below). Not sure what Southeast Chute of Ruby Wall Dave is referring to. We climbed the northeast slopes to the ridge and went above Ruby Wall to Ruby Peak. We'll get that last part between Ruby Peak and Mt. Mills next go around! Trip Report
Route Climbed: Mono Pass Date Climbed: September 15, 2000
Beautiful hike up Little Lakes Valley. Actually did this hike on my honeymoon...wife was sick, and since I was in the neighborhood it seemed a fairly easy peak to bag. Great views and some nice fall colors.
Spent the night at Ruby lake. I took my dog with me she did great until the pass. I was able to coax her about 3/4 of the way up and she fizzled on me. So no summit. I did meet a group of friends coming out from Fourth Recess. To much scrambling for a dog!

Great little trip. Ran up to the pass. Scrambled to the top for great views and back to the pass. Had a nice run back down to Mosquito Flat. A fun little peak that doesn't take long.

Route Climbed: Mono Pass Date Climbed: June 2001I have climbed this one several times. A nice side trip in or out of Fourth Recess. This is a scramble from the saddle on up. The view is worth it.
