Four Gables, North Peak via East Face. This was a new route, done June 15, 1974 with Mike Levine, following the buttress on the face seen plainly from the highway north of Bishop. Once on the buttress, reasonably sound granite led the climbing to a sharp crest about 500 feet below the summit. Very shattered rock forced a traverse left into a steep snow gully, which was taken to the summit ridge. NCCS II, F6.
