I love hiking and climbing mountains in the Sierra. There are literally hundreds of peaks over 10K ft that can be done in a day depending on fitness.
The best resource, IMO, is R.J. Secor's guide book "The High Sierra: Peaks, Passes, Trails." His book gives a high level overview of everything that's out there.

My maps show ~4.5mi to Second Lake, after which maybe ~1.5mi up to Contact Pass (maybe a little longer depending on route finding).
The book would be Secor's The High Sierra: http://www.amazon.com/The-High-Sierra-Passes-Trails/dp/0898869714/ref=pd_sim_b_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1CM9B8Y051EQPXBNRFEW . He has a short description of the route you describe in there, just in case you're curious.
