Dan Rampe Standing Before Mt. Goode
The North Buttress makes for one of the best car-to-car in a day climbs in the Sierra Nevada. The route has it all -- five-mile approach hike, 200 foot glacier crossing to get on the buttress, face climbing, chimneys, cracks, mellow downclimb off the back side. Bring the crampons and ice axe so that you don't get shut down. I didn't bring them the first time and was forced to turn around. It was a nice hike.
