| the mountaineers route. Did this as part of the High Sierra hat trick, Whitney, Muir, and Russell, with Lori Curry from Las Vegas. We camped at Upper Boyscout Lake, got a sunrise start, and completed the circuit in about 12 hours. | ||

| Went up via MR route. Then within 24 hours drove to Badwater in Death Valley. The highest and lowest points in continental US. It was fun! | |

| SkydiveKen | Brothers first big climb Date Climbed: Sep 29, 2007 | |
| Hiked the MR with my brother for his first summit. Camped at Upper Boy Scout lake on Fri and summited on Sat. Snow in the main chute was turning to ice. Above the notch both sides are clear with some snow and ice in the center. MR photos conditions start at #23 There was only one register page left and it was pretty full. Ranger at the visitor center said that it was the end of the season and that no one from the Park Service would be up there to refill? X5 (counted wrong on the register) | |

| A very long day. I'm glad I went up with friends who had already been up the MR. Route finding is a little tricky. | |

| skotty | winter conditions Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2006 | |
| Who would have guessed at such wintery conditions in July. Snow all the way up the route was fun, the iced up wall above the notch . . . a little challanging. | |

| holly sorenson | Wonderful Day! Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2007 | |
| Left the parking lot with 7 other folks at 4:45a.m. Beautiful sunrise! We went up the gully a little more to the left at the bottom, and that was fun. The top section was wonderful Class 3. It would be really challenging in the snow! | |

| Nigel Tufnel | A good workout Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2007 | |
| Very nice to finally summit Whitney. Under 11 hours car to car, with an hour on the summit. Perfect weather/temp all day. I think the final gully is easy 4th class. There are points were if you fell you wouldn't stop, to me that's 4th class. | |

| rbk | Very good conditions 5/20/07 Date Climbed: May 20, 2007 | |
| Great climb with near-perfect conditions. Left Iceberg Lake at 7 AM, climbed semi-hard snow for 2/3 of the couloir (crampons unnecessary), scree for the next 1/3, then directly up the 1st gully from the Notch. Center of the gully was nasty snow/ice; we stayed on class-3 rock by starting left, then traversing right to the ridge and exiting to the summit plateau via a body-width crack. Descending at 12 PM, the couloir was slushy -- ascending that late would be miserable! | |
