| A short hop off the Whitney Trail to the top of Keeler. It is a completely different summit experience from Whitney. Not a parking lot atmosphere. No room for even a small group on the summit. A great place to hang your feet off in the air. Ha! | |

| Michael Graupe | 2007 Sierra Challenge Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2007 | |
| Last day of the 2007 Sierra Challenge. The main objective of the day was to climb Mt. Newcomb. Starting at Whitney Portal I decided to climb McAdie on the way from Arc Pass. Then descended the class 2 chute to Crabtree Pass, climbed Mt. Newcomb via the class 3 east face. From there I returned to Crabtree Pass and gained the Sierra Crest climbing Discovery Pinnacle from the south. I intercepted the trail and hiked up Mt. Whitney. On the way back I also climbed Keeler Needle, Crooks Peak, Third Needle, Aguille Extra, Aguille du Paquoir and Mt. Muir. A long day in a very beautiful area. 14.5h car to car. | |

| Cool scramble for those of us who've had a few too many Clif bars. Like the mantle move required at the summit block which adds a "pucker factor" to 21-plus miles of trail travel. Don't know how long my signature will last in the summit log since the plastic case is cracked. If anyone's got a spare please swap it out! | |
