I did this spectacular route at at almost 65 in 2015 with my friend Steve. Felt feverish/sick ...only to find out later I had West Nile virus! The hardest part was descending and the scariest part was the "E. Ledges"!! One the the BEST days of my life!
You guys are rock climbers. When I went up the east side I hiked up the snow to the back, west, side of Whitney, and then strolled up to the peak. You guys worked! In comparison, I had a Sunday stroll. LOL!
Thanks for this and thanks for not making it look easy. Climbers should know that this route demands a lot of endurance and is not for the inexperienced . Quite an achievement.
@@mikegoesuphill5200 thanks for the info, I may head up there in the next couple days, just for a solo up the Mtneers. Route. what was the descent like? I see you rapped the 400, are there rap anchors left behind? any info is appreciated
@nickb1966 There is an anchor in one of the rocks with a small ring for attaching gear. I didn't get a photo of the location, but drop down the rock to the right instead of directly down the snow.. Then the anchor is in a rock on the left. Snow is soft in the afternoon. I suggest crampons for the morning up. Good luck.

Thank you. It is a great route.

Oh wow! I wasn't expecting this, congrats on the accomplishment. I just did the trail via the chute on Wednesday but this is something else!
Thank you

Thank you for commenting. I think all the routes up Whitney are great. No easy way even on the hiking routes.
A party of three of us climbed the East Face in August, 1984. We didn't do the Fresh Air Traverse, but climbed the Shaky Leg Crack variation(5.6).
That is a good route as well
Awesome. Well done. My partner and I climbed the East Face route in 2008. That altitude is no joke.
Thank you. East Face is a great route as well. I need to do that one someday

Thank you for watching and commenting. This is a great route for those with proper trad climbing experience.
Wow, you definitely went up the hard way! I went on the trail 😁
This is so cool. Never knew there were technical routes on Whitney. Wish I had the experience to do this...!
Thank you. There are a few technical routes up the East Face.
Shheeeeeiiiiii
what date did you do this?
July 4th to 6th, 2023
