Proving once again that there is no such thing as too much time in the mountains, I headed back up for another weekend of peak bagging around the northeast end of Yosemite. On Saturday, we climbed Warren Peak, a lovely pile of rocks on the eastern crest of the Sierra with a tremendous overlook of Mono Lake. On Sunday, we hiked to Johnson Peak, a unimpressive pile of rocks from a distance but a fun slabby climb along some beautiful benches up close.
Here are some photos from these two great climbs. If you are interested in the detailed route information for these peaks, I tried to capture it in the captions of the photos in the albums I linked to below. Neither peak is particularly challenging with route finding or terrain, and they would make fun entry level off-trail peaks in the Yosemite area.
Mount Warren, 12,327 feet
Johnson Peak, 11,053 feet
I am so jealous of all these awesome peaks you are climbing! I live to far South to get up there as much as I would like!
Yeah but I bet the southern sierra is closer to you!

Johnson Peak looks particularly appealing. I’ve never been to Yosemite yet so I have lots to discover.
