I want to climb Mount Lyell this summer, but I'm wondering if it's better to do the climb in the the early, mid, or later part of the summer? Any suggestions?...

I'd pick June 28 when the snow on the glacier is still in good shape. I did it in mid-June a few years ago and was pleased with the conditions. I think a...
Kathy, sounds great. I'll send you a list of dates that would work for me... my summer is about half taken thanks to one weekend a month for search & rescue, a...
David: My list is of days I can't do - but thanks for the suggestion - early but not too early sounds like a good idea - the glacier might be pretty icy by...
Whoops! Well, sometime around that date then would be my suggestion. :-) I thoroughly enjoyed the hike and climb. I think the area is quite beautiful. Kathy...
Kathy, Lyell can be climbed anytime the 120 is open to Tuolomne Meadow. Most of the folks I know that have done Lyell do it in late Summer. A quick check of...

Joel, What's your date range? In July 2001, I made it to the bergschrund but turned back after navigating the Vogelsang -- Hell Hole Pass route. I'd love to...
I'd be open around the weekends of June 29, July 6, July 13, July 27, Aug 17, Sept 7... any overlap, Kathy? Aug 17 might be good so it'll be deep summer by...

Joel: Are you sure you don't want to try a 3-day trip? I don't move fast either - especially once I get above 11,000 feet because I have trouble with the thin...

I think Lyell is doable in 3 days even by us in the slow crowd. Remember, Bob (and a bunch of other Sierra Challengers) have dayhiked this, and probably even...
Interested Lyell hikers, The hike into Lyell isn't hard. It's a 500ft. gain over the first 8-9miles. The last 2-3 miles is a 2000ft climb. My NG !Topo SW...
I don't think I replied to the whole list yet, but I'm definitely up for Mt. Lyell this summer. I'm pretty much good for any weekend from the beginning of June...
I going to be around Quartsite,Az and Yuma,Az. then Borego. Any suggestions on peaks to climb in these areas. Also trailheads and possible route descritions. ...
Between Quartzite and Yuma are two classic DPS peaks, Signal Peak and Castle Dome. Matthew and I climbed these last month and they were both enjoyable. The DPS...
Hi there, I'm planning a backpacking trip from South Lake to North Lake, and am interested in doing a shuttle trip with one vehicle. Any idea how difficult it...
From my experience in the area getting from North Lake down to Aspendell would be the hard part. I'm gonna assume you probably wouldn't find anyone intending...
Best guess - around late June. The route actually avoids most of the steep snow slopes such as the one on the north side of Alpine Col and the east side of...
