Mount Toll Climber's Log

Route: SE Face/Blue Lake

Still lots of snow to be had on the route. Cloudy day kept the snow pretty hard, even icy in spots! Axe/crampons necessary on the snowfield, but plenty of exposed rock to get around if you don't have them. Climbed on good snow from Blue Lake to about 200 ft below summit. Last 100 ft of snow is thinning and started punching through. Great day. Fun glissade!

Finally

After being involved in an accident on Mt Toll in '05, it was great to be able to climb it finally on such a beautiful day.

From Mitchell Lake trailhead

Great way to spend the 4th of July. We had the mountain to ourselves for a short while. Lots of snowboarders in the basin. Great day and great weather!

Fun solo climb. Simple climbing on great rock. Very short approach too.

Awesome clear day. Reached summit around 10 am and skied down shortly thereafter. Snow was getting quite soft, and I was glad we were up there early.

Very nice alpine climb - incredible views!! Just enough snow for a speedy glissade down.

This was my first alpine rock climb. I would describe it as short sections of fun climbing between easy and loose scrambling. I think I got the most fun lead-a short chimney before the big (BIG) ledge. My friends enjoyed listening to me curse my pack and the clink of my ice axe clink off the rock as I wriggled my way up.

Route Climbed: Southeast Face Date Climbed: July 3, 2004

This was my second snow climb, the first being Banner Peak in the Sierra Nevadas (though I turned back a couple hundred feet shy of the summit on Banner). Easier than the first; but, no less enjoyable.

Route Climbed: Southeast Face Date Climbed: June 2003

Climbed on continous snow from Blue Lake, which was still mostly frozen. No snowshoes or crampons, just perfect kick snow. Go early enough to catch the steep tongue of snow that turns right and climbs to the summit. Great glissade all the way back down, just watch for slide potential.
