Description:
When the peak is viewed from the Owens Valley, the route follows the right-hand skyline. Follow the Meysan Lakes trail to about 9,600' and gain the ridge from there via class 3/4 climbing. Stay on the ridge to the summit. Many variations are possible, depending which side of the towers you pass.

North Ridge
It took me about 9.5 hours, car to car. The approach is very short if you're a fast hiker - took less than 2 hours, and I drove up from sea level the night before. The climb itself is a long Grade III however. Lots of fairly exposed 4th, and lots of notches to negotiate. Be selective about what you rope up for and try to keep moving. The ridge is a lot longer than it looks from the base. And it might not have continuous stretches of 5th class, but what's there is quite stout for 5.4.

Lonepine North Rige
This was my first peack. My father and I co-lead and reach the top at about 7ish on the 2nd day. We walked off the back side (south) or should I say we slid. There was a large Talis field and We almost got in to a real jam, when the wrong way by getting off the path. The path is really clear when your are on it so if you can't see it your likely not on it.
