Snowy Sept Summit
Chased off the summit at noon by snow flurries, by the time we reached treeline it had evolved into hail/sleet and lightning/thunder. Weather added an interesting twist to this walk-up.

Great Hike
Summited Lamarck from the North Lake trailhead. Quite a bit of snow leading up to the Lamarck Col, but it was easy to skirt. We decided to ascend the southeast face rather than going via the Col -- the route was shorter and avoided having to cross a snowbank, where a slip would have led to a very cold swim. A fun and (for us) challenging hike. Great views in all directions.

North Couloir
So many firsts for me on this trip, it will be hard to forget.

North Couloir
With SMG, we climbed it from the trailhead in one very long day. Firm snow and some ice in on the route. The hardest part was the approach and descent which took so long due to talus and routefinding. Had the whole place to ourselves!
Climbed from Lamarck Col on the last day of a South Lake to North Lake loop.

via Lamarch Col
Day 4 of 2007 Sierra Challenge. I would have saved time approaching from SE slope instead of going to Lamarck Col first and then to summit. Met up with Mike Schasch and Elena Sherman on the summit.
Climbed this thing super quick. This is a great afternoon or morning hike with no technical anything to worry about. Perfect if you're not comfortable with exposure. Later went up with my dad and girlfriend....so good! This peak has a great view of darwin and mendel!

From the Col
Climbed with Derek, David, Nolan, and Gordon via Lamarck Col. Couldn't help but notice that Mt. Darwin is a beast...definitely on my list of peak to climb.
Solo from North Lake. Trails around Lamarck Lakes can be confusing.

Up SE slope, down NW chutes
From North Lake to Lamarck Lakes trail, up Class 2 SE slope, down Class 3 NW chutes to Darwin Bench... to Alpine Col, Piute Pass, North Lake... only patchy snow left.. lots of boulder/talus fields

Day Hike
Hiked with two friends from North Lake up to the Lamarck Lakes and a crest high above upper Lamarck Lake. Decided to go on to Lamarck Col and the ridge up to Mount Lamarck. Wondered wether this was the summit but found the register and signed it. Perfect sunny day, great views of the Evolution range.
