"Started around 4am. Logged 22.3 miles and 6,706 ft elevation gain. Lots of neat wildlife, even on the switchbacks. Spent 2 hours at the summit. Got back to the Portal at 8pm. First 14er!" — jakobpfeiffer • Sep 12, 2024

"12 hours and 50 minutes after parking my car at Red Lake Trailhead, it was time to brave the road to Big Pine again. For once, this was a car-to-car 14er that left me enough time to get home to SoCal at a decent hour! This one is as others have described it: rough road to the trailhead, rough path to Red Lake, slippery class 2 to the saddle, very long final section to the summit. But WOW- the views are awesome. This really felt like a real adventure!" — danishclimber • Sep 8, 2024

"Started at 4:30ish AM. Logged 14.5 miles, 5500 elevation gain in 12 hours. Got lost a lot. Trail disappears and reappears elsewhere. Scree towards the summit. Lots of scrambling." — jakobpfeiffer • Aug 29, 2024

"17 hour car-to-car via West Face route. Weather was all over the place from blustery winds and driving ice pellets to beautiful sunshine. Started around 4am and back to car by 9pm, just in time to find a hotel room in Lone Pine. " — danishclimber • Aug 24, 2024

"Highly recommend doing all three (with proper training). It was a hard trek. The trail was clear, no snow. Cold on the peaks and a bit windy. Storm rolled in on way down the last peak - had a bit of hail and rain, but blue skies otherwise. Water proof jackets always recommended for the mountains!" — colleenmarie512 • Aug 24, 2024
