"Did Lola and the north ridge as a clockwise loop from the main northern trailhead. The maintained trail up Lola is pretty straightforward, with some snow patches still hanging out along the trail. Lola summit was quite windy, but there's a windbreak at the summit to hide behind for shelter. The traverse along the ridge to North Lola is pretty easy, with mostly open country and gentle grades. Views at the summits and along the ridge are stunning, and some waterfalls lie along the main trail. The bushwhack from North Lola back down to the trail is...interesting. AllTrails and Natural Atlas show a logging road that leads from east of North Lola back down to the trail, but this road is in such bad shape that you're better off just bushwhacking down the slope. It appears that serious effort has been taken to make the road hard to use by any mode of transportation, with countless fallen trees perpendicular to the road and large piles of rocks. Water crossings along the main trail were a tad high, but were doable. " — coasterlover1994 • Sep 9, 2023

"A solo ascent, for a change of pace, from 431. A bit sluggish as I’m still trying to adjust to the heat/altitude combo after leaving NY a few days ago. I left the trail runners in the car and went with light boots not knowing how much snow I would encounter. The few snow patches were fun to cruise through and didn’t require the wearing of any boot. Stream crossings were easy to hop across or simply stomp through." — Nimblefoot • Jul 18, 2023

"Finally invested in a ski mountaineering set up and this seemed like a good peak to test things out. Suncupped conditions made things tricky on the way up but found surprisingly good conditions on the way down. Tagged two sisters as before skiing out. " — Christopher • Jun 14, 2023

"Great conditioning hike in prep for Mount Tallac the following week. Ran into 9 other hikers, 6 dogs and 4 bikers, so that was nice to see. smoke was bad as it stated rolling in from the Oak Fire; however, you could only smell it for part of the trail." — captchaos18 • Jul 24, 2022

"After years of looking south and seeing the highest peaks in the Tahoe region dominating the skyline, I finally stopped making excuses (e.g., too far to drive, not enough time, eating a donut, etc.). Today was the day! All went well except underestimated how much water to bring. Up above treeline, it was hot and hardly any shade. I knew this going in, but I drained my 2 Nalgenes way too early. Aborted attempt on South Jobs (Steve?) as dehydration started to dog me. All in all, a must-do loop in Tahoe, but be prepared for a big day with no water source most of the way.
