Route Climbed: East ridge Date Climbed: 08/18/01  Sucess!

I went up the East Ridge, met up with two other climbers (Tom H. & Larry) showed them the way to the summit. Stayed around took some good photos and headed down the South chute. At the bottom, by Russell/Whitney pass, I ascended up the north face of Whitney coming out on top of the mountaineer's route. Summit Whitney, then Muir and down to Lower Boy Scout Lake in 9hrs.

Route Climbed: South Face Date Climbed: August 4, 2001  Sucess!

This was the eleventh peak of my CA 14er tour.



After bagging Muir and Whitney, I descended Whitney's North Face to the low point between Whitney and Russell. Then I cruised up the Class 3 South Face of Russell. Most of the climb was on Class 2 loose talus and sand. There was a fun (albeit short) section of Class 3 rock near the top.



Some time I need to go climb some of the more demanding routes on Russell. The Mithal Dihedral looks awesome.
