"5.31.25~ North to South Sister Traverse including Black Rock Sister w/Autumn & Laszlo. 6 miles, 2,800’ gain, 5:09hrs. Thank you Laszlo for the support, company and great route to the top of the 1st peak. Ideal weather of all types all in one hike including lovely cloud over, light rain off and on, wind here and there, cold, and warmth when the sun peeked through. My Daughters first time on these peaks and traverse. She handled it like a pro. " — paula.raimondi • May 31, 2025

"Took the "shortcut" down, which was actually slower. 2023 storms have wiped out any semblance of use trail on down route. My 25 years anniversary on South Sister. While this route down is rarely worse than class 1, there is no trail, and there are abundant very rough talus and brush patches leading to spots over cliffs. I've actually been up south sister at least 30x, and have done the full sisters traverse 19x." — hwstock • May 28, 2025

"5.27.25~ South Sister. 5.2 miles, 2,000’ gain with an efficient effort in 2:13hrs Round Trip total time. Summit break and photo shoot included. I consumed 16 oz of water and one applesauce packet. Clouds and breezes made for ideal temps. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1JAjHtHfRw/?mibextid=wwXIfr" — paula.raimondi • May 27, 2025

"Classic north to south Three Sisters route via Lee Canyon. NOTE FOR ADMINS: "Black Rock Sister" should be deleted as it's a duplicated peak for "Black Sister" which already exists. " — DudeAlmighty • Oct 3, 2024

"Went up via the Old Mill ridge route. I've been to this peak many times, but this was only the second time via this route. It's scenic & pleasant for the most part. It's too warm for this time of year, but the clouds kept it feeling nice. Phone died coming down, so only partial track. Most of my photos wouldn't load, but I included a link to a video." — StudioHoodoo • Sep 7, 2024

"I have found that it is safer to do this route in reverse (counter clockwise) from the "standard" published route. There's a chute off of North Sister that is a descent if you go the standard way. I have seen people get injured in and caused large rock falls in that chute. You can save yourself from these potential disasters if you go counter clockwise. This means that you will be going up it instead of down it...which has proven to eliminate the prior incidents that have happened there. I should also mention, if you follow the "quick" descent exit part of the attached track, you will find it to be VERY steep at the top. Make sure that you are familiar with the Mt Charleston steep, potentially loose gullies. Good luck! Be safe! " — Heartattackbruce • Jul 18, 2024

"Warm day, but quite tolerable till the sun beat down mercilessly at North Sister, so we bailed on Black Sister. As we started down, clouds came out, and the walk back to the cars was pleasant even though it was 80F+. My 18th Sisters Traverse. (It was 63F when we started at 7:30, and probably only 70F when we were on top of North Sister; but with no wind, that summit felt really, really hot!)" — hwstock • Jul 12, 2024

"6.1.2024~CCW/Reverse Sister Traverse Loop. 6 miles, 2,700’ gain in 4:51. My 1st time going this direction. In going the opposite way, I was able to get a better look at the cairns that took the route on top of the ridges instead of below. I was able to traverse all the way to South Sister even above “creepy ledge” and landed nearly direct on the South Sister Plank/diving board ascent which is terrifying. Since I was climbing up, I could ignore the exposure. Before this, I found another narrow chute to the north off South Sister that could be used as a bypass instead of the south drop off of plank to creepy ledge but I skipped it since it had a few inconveniently placed blobs of snow near to a drop off. I felt uneasy today and couldn’t eat the food I packed but I drank my calories and that kept weakness away. Finally, I was able to eat a slice of pizza on South Sister’s twin peak since all the scary stuff was over. I Found my homemade stick ice axe I misplaced on 5.30.24. Beautiful day. The hwy was empty which made the drive up pleasant and fast. I consumed 2.5 16oz water bottles, an applesauce pouch, 2 small Gatorades & a slice of signature select rising crust pepperoni pizza.

"5.30.24~Sister Traverse. South, North & Black 6.3 miles, 2,700’ gain in 4:33hrs. I didn’t do the most frightening traverse route but my goal was to do all three whether or not I was able to get myself to do the hardest way. I did find the scary ledge but wasn’t able to get there from walking the plank because I couldn’t figure out the drop down spot from above so I retraced and went to the spot one cliff tier down. I started out on the Shimmy across ledge but there were scattered rocks that creeped me out and an overgrown shrub that pushed my position, so I went around the other side of the ridge there. There were Swarms of ladybugs on every summit. Beautiful afternoon. Started at 11am. I consumed a banana and 30gram protein milk for breakfast. On the hike I ate an applesauce pouch, a quest 21 gram protein bar, and drank one small Gatorade and 2-16oz water bottles. I had a sandwich packed but was too nervous to have an appetite for it. The drive across town is awful now. Too many people, too many cones. " — paula.raimondi • May 30, 2024

"My 17th traverse. Inspired by AceKelly and Maggie, I added peak 8931. I took the "Mistake" Chute up N Sister, terrible talus with two interesting sections. This is not the normal "hard" route up." — hwstock • Jun 26, 2023
