Awesome peak!How about Silliman's neighbor, Alta Peak? Have you did it yet?
If you have a chance, check out Moose Lake - have a great one!!

Re: Awesome peak!Yes, it is a pretty neat peak. Nope, haven't done that yet. When I was first looking to climb Silliman, I actually wanted to do a traverse over to Alta. It would have been a long way, but I wasn't too worried bout that. However, when I first brought that up with the Scout leaders, they said no right away. So then I just opted for Silliman, which still didn't fly. Oh well. But hopefully I can come back in the near future and tag both of those peaks. I was looking at Moose Lake and it looks like an amazing lake, so I would definitely check that out too. Thanks for the comment!

My first peakMt. Silliman was the first Sierra Peak I climbed. Went from Silliman Lake, but I've also hiked to Twin Lakes and Little Lakes. Anyway, great mountain and great album :)

Re: My first peakOh thats cool! I was looking at some of your pics of Silliman and for some reason I was wondering if it was your first. Little Lakes are some pretty cool lakes! Thank you.
