Well, I did many peaks and it was all very easy and fun scrambling. Certain sections felt exposed and sketchy which I avoided. I did try doing Echo #6 and I made it to the summit and back, and I gotta say...it was definitely a lot scarier than most of the other peaklets in the area. Probably the most scared I've ever been on an outing, though the scramble up and down didn't take more than 20 minutes. I'm not sure if it's worth doing a trip report since that area doesn't seem to be very popular in Yosemite, but I found it to be some the most fun I've had in the park. I plan on doing Lyell early next summer. I did take a short video of Echo #6 for anyone who may be interested. All the trip reports I've seen mark it as a class 4, but I can probably see why a really good climber would see it as an easy 3. I did put on my climbing shoes when going back down to feel more safe, though the rock was already very grippy.
