Alpine fix
A scenic treat while visiting from the mountain-less east coast. Thunderclouds forming persuaded me not to head north to Dragon. Tagged the top of the summit "thumb", never saw a register. Nearly 1,000' of scree skiing down to the Kearsarge Pass trail was fast and fun.
Made summit at about 11:00am. Came up from north on way to Whitney via JMT.

Very casual
Easy slog from the trail. The next section, the traverse to Dragon, was better.

S Ridge
Backpacking with 3 others. Side trip to solo. Hiked to the 3 false summits before reaching the correct one. Signed the register, but did not climb on the summit block.

South Ridge
Very windy conditions with clouds moving in. Besides the class 3/4 climbing up to summit block, this solo trip was a slog. Beautiful view toward Rae Lakes from Kearsarge Pass, worth the trip in itself.

Fun summit blockClimbed solo from the pass. A very fun summit block made it well worth the effort. Traversed over to Dragon.
