| no partners | | Enjoyed excellent weather for this trip - the summit was actually warm enough to lounge around on and lots of us were taking long lunches up there. Started at 3:45a, summited at 11, finished at 5:30. I got to "double summit" because I forgot my spikes up top - lucky me! The lakes and meadows on the way up are so beautiful. Spotted lots of marmots and a few pika. The 99 switchbacks felt much faster than the 2-mile traverse on the back side of Whitney, which is rockier. I felt slow at this elevation and I'm very glad I didn't come fresh from sea level.
Conditions: just a few snow patches left. Snow is lingering above the chained section on the switchbacks but packed down well. |
