N. Ridge
Climbed S. face of peak 12,600 just N. of Johnson first,fun cl. 3 climb with a 70's register. Then it was off to Gilbert and peak 12,800. I then traversed back to Treasure Col and climbed the N. Ridge of Johnson which was as good as advertised.

SE Slope
2008 Sierra Challenge. After climbing Trapezoid Peak I started to traverse the connecting ridge but this turned out to be quite tedious and slow (maybe I was just not in the mood any more for much more ridge climbing). So I dropped down into the cirque and ascended the SE slope.

SE slope
Long and sandy, but some fun scrambling near the top.

Route Climbed: SE Slopes
Quite the talus slog up the Treasure Lakes drainage. Probably would have been more enjoyable earlier in the year with more snow. Sandy slopes made for a quick descent.

SE talus and sandy slopes
Climbed talus to the right of sandy slopes on way up. Sandy slope on the way down. More loose rock than sand.
Route Climbed: North Ridge Date Climbed: October 22, 2005
Climbed the north ridge solo via Treasure Col on an absolutely beautiful Fall day. Conditions in the Col were brittle water ice covered with sugar snow from a recent storm. Stayed on the crest of the ridge all the way to the summit. Great 3rd class rock. Because the knife edge section gaining the summit was partially covered with snow, I traversed it chevalier style (one leg draped over each side of the ridge).

Route Climbed: North Couloir Date Climbed: 25 June 2005
Solid snow at 10,500 ft. Merciless 2-3 ft sun cups from there up to 11,800 ft. Snow and lightning storm while on the 3rd class ridge.
Our route was the north couloir, which is not described by Secor. It is the snowfield on the west side of the north face, under the "33" on 7.5' topos. Very nice access to summit if it is snow-filled and the entire 3rd class ridge is not your thing . It gains the ridge about 250 ft below the summit. The remaining ridge would be great fun in dry weather! Descended the SE Slope.

Gilbert-Johnson dayhike out of South Lake. The North Ridge was a great scramble, made a bit spicier in one or two places thanks to a few inches of fresh powder from a storm the day before. I'd like to go back to do the Johnson-Goode traverse some time.
