"Another dayhike from Tuolumne Meadows. Freesolo North Ridge 5.6 including downclimbs after climbed Sheep Peak, all 5 Roosevelt Pinnacles and North Peak for a full Roosevelt Lake ridge traverse." — miketoffey • Jul 15, 2022

"Mount Conness and North Peak, climbing Conness via the Glacier Route. This trip was much harder and took longer than I expected, mostly due to really soft snow conditions. I was postholing all day after about 9:30 am. Even the Conness Glacier was rotten and I was punching through up to my knees and hips seemingly with every other step. The Glacier Route gully was snow-filled and steeper than I expected with a short icy crux. The scramble to the summit of Conness from the notch was a fun catwalk over stable rock. I had enough energy to make the climb to North Peak, again postholing through soft snow. My arrival at the summit of North Peak coincided with the start of a thunderstorm, hitting first with hail, then cold wind, then lightning and thunder. I hauled ass back down to the lakes basin before the lighting started in earnest. The long hike out along Greenstone and Saddlebag lakes seemed to take forever: postholing the entire way (even in snowshoes!) with thunder cracking overhead. By the time I got back to the trailhead, the storm had dropped about three inches of fresh snow." — klotito • May 15, 2021

"Big link up scrambling from the NE Ridge of North Peak, north ridge of Conness and north ridge of White. Rapped the crux off the second tower towards Conness but soloed the rest. Likely my hardest free solo route to date. Complete TR: https://TheMtsAreCalling.com/north" — Christopher • Aug 25, 2020

"A nice trip up Mt Conness from the Saddlebag Lake area. Routefinding is a bit of a challenge in some areas, and the AllTrails GPS track is extremely wrong. (Don't follow my track either.) The real route looks like this: follow the trail up to Alpine Lake. Follow the lake around until there's a clear path up to the north. Make your way up to higher ground, and then traverse over to the ridgeline. On the right side of the ridge, there's a notch that will take you across. (My track shows this spot accurately.) From here, it's quite obvious how to traverse to the summit, which is mostly class 2 and a bit of class 3 scrambling. Probably anybody in good condition could make the climb if they've got a little scrambling experience and they're not too acrophobic. The views from the top are phenomenal. Among others, you can easily see Matterhorn Peak to the north, Half Dome, Clouds Rest and Mt Hoffman to the west, and Mt Dana, Koip & Kuna Peak, Mt Ritter and Mt Lyell to the south. It's well worth the trip up." — sareine • Jul 25, 2020

"Tried to complete the West Ridge Climb, but didn't get an early enough start, but still bagged the peak. This is a difficult route! There is a climbers trail, but really need to use gpx to know where to go. The hike to the peak is strenuous and not something to be taken lightly. Altitude is also something to consider with this one. Research and know what you're doing before you go. Was also witness to falling rocks from one of the side peaks, safely at a distance." — colleenmarie512 • Aug 25, 2018

"west ridge climb left sawmill campground at 7am got to the base of the west ridge for 12. At lunch and waited for two other parties then began around 1pm. Made our way up the west ridge climbing the first 2-3 pitches with pro then simul climbed most of the remaining pitches. Topped out at around 5.30pm then trudged back in the oncoming dark arriving back to the car around midnight." — wmitchell • Sep 16, 2017

"After 10 years of friendship and climbs across the world, I finally got my best man Moosehiker in the Sierras, and on a classic Yosemite peak to start. Rain in the morning gave way to perfect weather later on. Complete TR: http://themtsarecalling.com/conness/" — Christopher • Aug 22, 2016

"After hiking Half Dome a couple days before, I took a bus up to Tuolumne Meadows and met up with a friend. We backpacked to Young Lakes and did a day hike to Conness. Lots of scree, and there was at least one move close to the summit was scary, but my friend talked me through it. I was so glad to make it. This peak probably got me addicted to peakbagging. Fun boot ski on the way down. Not a lot of people coming from Young Lakes, but chatted with some friendly folks at the summit." — kaylam87 • Sep 12, 2015

"Drove up late on Friday from Seal Beach and arriving at Saddlebag Lake about 1am Saturday sleepy eyed and ready to call it quits for the weekend. But after hitting snooze several times in the morning, I managed to get going at a beautiful alpine start of 9am. Hehe. Still feeling a lil bit tired, a cool breeze and beautiful alpine lakes rejuvenated me in no time, and before I knew it, I was on the NW Ridge of North Peak and summiting North Peak shortly after 11am. It was pretty windy and cold on the ridgeline. In fact, moments before summiting, I lost my brand new Arc'teryx hat. I watched it rise and blow easterly with the winds as my eyes filled with tears. ;-) After drying my eyes, I quickly made haste to Mt Conness by following the North Ridge proper. Summited in a couple more hours, quickly signed the register and made my way down the East Ridge. An extremely beautiful day climbing on the granite of the Sierras." — DrBoz • Aug 30, 2014

"Approached from Sawmill Campground - took south slope on way up (via sandy/gravelly pass) and came down via some weird distortion of the East Ridge route. Loved the last little ridge to the summit - what fun!" — calipidder • Sep 4, 2010
