| 5 feet of snow on the route and extreme winds made this a character building experience. | ||

| Climbed Whitney as a day-hike on the Whitney trail. Couldn't ask for better weather, it was clear the entire time and temperatures weren't too cold. Started around 1:30am and returned at 5:30pm if I remember correctly. | |

| sergejf | Mount Whitney 2008 Date Climbed: Oct 19, 2008 | |
| A very long day starting at 5:15AM and finishing in complete darkness around 8:00PM. 12 hours round-trip from the parking to the summit and back. Some snow and ice. At least a couple of hours sitting down and waiting for my friends. Exhausting though mostly because of the sheer distance walked (around 32 km). | |

| Long slog up the trail but it was a fun little scramble up Mt. Muir as a detour. Switchbacks were firm but icy in spots with crampons a good idea. | |

| Darren9 | Avoid the crowds | |
| Finally got the chance to do it this year in April on the Mountaineers Route and I was glad to avoid the crowds (and the rockfall in the gully). | |

| jullee | Showers , Snow and Sun Date Climbed: Sep 11, 2008 | |
| We started with showers on the way up to Trail Camp and by the time we got to Consultation Lake there was a few inches of snow that came down. We hunkered down for the night and the next day we summited under clear blue skies and sun. A trip to be remembered! | ||

| highlandvillager | Awesome weekend Date Climbed: Oct 10, 2009 | |
| We took a leisurely pace up the Mountaineers Route, making camp at Upper Boyscout Lake the first day, summiting and returning to camp the second day, and hiking out the third. What a beautiful place! The weather was perfect. HP24 | |

| After crossing the Mojave Desert on my bicycle, climbing Mt Whitney was a superb experience. Thanks to SummitPost for the detailed information on the mountaineer's route. | |

| Catamount | Spectacular Date Climbed: Sep 27, 2009 | |
| What an incredibly beautiful mountain! Did the classic Whitney Trail hike over two days, overnighting at Outpost Camp. On my summit day, I started out from camp at 5:30 AM and reached the top at 11:15 AM. Perfect weather for the hike ... one of the great days I've ever had in the mountains. 'Nuff said. My 45th State Highpoint. | |

| Mlasky | Summit & Proposal Date Climbed: Jun 16, 2002 | |
| It was a fun summit. Not technical...just to do it. Was proposed to on the summit. Glissaded down the snow pack instead of taking the switchbacks. Spent the night in a way too warm Death Valley hotel. The next morning went to THE low point in Death Valley and got buzzed by a fighter jet in the canyon on the way home. | |

| Second time summiting. First was a four day trip from Shepards Pass in '04. This time a day hike starting at 3:30 and finishing just before 5. Took an hour side trip to do Muir. Lots of people on the trail and on top. was offered a tequila shot from another group but stomach said no... | |

| Nice Axe! | East Buttress (5.7) Date Climbed: Sep 13, 2005 | |
| From high camp at Iceberg Lake (appropriately named). Rock was very cold the first several pitches, my fingers were numb. Super fun climb nonetheless and gorgeous views. Descent via the Mountaineer's Route. | |
