Back to back with Charlotte Dome, a spectacular climb.
A 4-mile grueling approach First close-up view on Mt Whitney after Upper Boy Scout lake And the view of the base valley with Iceberg Lake A pretty amazing base camp! Patagonia? A little detour to peak at Mt Russel, maybe next time? An early but not that early start to the base of the climb of the East Buttress First pitch of a pretty moderate climb Getting closer to the top. After the last scrambling, we still roped up for the last 3-4 moves to the top-out An incredible view on the other side and the hiker trail Summit! And not particularly crowded! The famous or infamous descent on the Mountaineers route
