    Mt. Whitney – Mountaineer’s Route 2021 International Mountain Guides Mt. Whitney, at 14,505 feet is the highest peak in the lower 48 states. It is also the most sought after peak in North America. During the summer months it is normal to find several hundred hikers ascending the peak on any given day via the Mt. Whitney Trail. In the spring, Mt. Whitney is a different mountain. It becomes a climber’s challenge. Our route of ascent is the Mountaineer’s Route on the east side of the mountain. What is a third class loose rock gully in the summer becomes a snow climb on terrain up to 45 degrees. Techniques that will be used and introduced include running belays and fixed line work making this an excellent primer for a Mt. McKinley expedition, climbing elsewhere in Alaska, the Alps, and other big snow climbs. We will use expedition camping skills and bring the same equipment that we would use on a summer climb of Mt. Rainier. In addition, we will use snowshoes on the approach hike up to high camp. Mt. Whitney: Just The Facts Skill Level Mt. Whitney in the spring is every bit as strenuous as No Higher: Mt. Whitney, 14,505', is the highest peak in the Mt. Rainier. All participants must be in very good US outside of Alaska physical condition.
