NE Ridge from Whitney Portal  Sucess!

Long, but fun day with Brooke Schuemann. The most incredible views of the Whitney group.

NE Ridge from the desert floor  Sucess!

My wife Penelope and I climbed the Complete NE Ridge from the desert floor on August 8,9, 2013. It was the third time for me on this long (and seemingly getting longer) alpine ridge. Miguel Carmona and I soloed the ridge in 13 hours CTC in 1984, Rich Henke and I climbed the ridge in 3 days in winter of 94 and in August 2013, Penelope and I climbed it again, this time as a two day climb. Pen did a wonderful job soloing most of the route, we roped the last 2-3 pitches, we were getting a bit tired just as the climbing got really steep and loose. Pen wanted to do this for her 62nd Birthday.

From Grass Lake  Sucess!

Sierra Club outing. After climbing the difficult class 2 chute to Mallory the day before, this one was fun by comparison! We could pick ascent routes that were mostly stable, and there was plenty of soft dirt for boot-skiing on the way down

Summited past Peanut Lake  Sucess!

I always wanted to climb this peak. Kept looking up at from Lone Pine or down view from the summit of Whitney or Muir. Finally did it because I tried to get a permit anywhere in the Eastern Sierras and everything was booked apart from Meysan Trailhead. We camped out near the meadow area just above Peanut Lake. Initially hard to spot the Northwest class 2 route but as we got closer to the mountain the way up became clear. Just another slug up the slippery sandy soil. The false summits were a bit irritating but no one to blame but me. Great view!!! Good a fantastic photo looking west toward Irvine and Whitney.

Sand Slog From Hell  Sucess!

The forest service snow map showed plenty of snow left on Lone Pine Peak, so I thought, great. I'll bring my ice ax and crampons and climb the snow tongue up the ascent chute. Instead, I found no snow on the peak at all. The standard route up LPP lived up to its nasty reputation.

NW Slope  Sucess!

Awful ascent on mostly scree, all day in the baking Sun. The slope was not only sandy and painful to go up on, but also boulders were sliding downhill with no apparent reason. As I got to the top, an avalanche of boulders occured. I was terrified going down that chute after that; I cleared the chute in 15 minutes going downhill, always looking uphill for the next tumbling boulder.

North Ridge  Sucess!

Took us a while since we drove up from sea level the day before. Do not underestimate how much time it will take to complete this long ridge climb. Very nice position on this route. As Secor says, this III, 5.5 route has a couple of 5.7 moves! Trip report

Complete North Ridge   Sucess!

Climbed up the the north ridge from Owens Valley early saturday morning, made it to the third tower where we had to emergency bivouac due to the sudden storm that rolled in. Summited early the following morning. Amazing climb!!

North Ridge Epic  Sucess!

Climbed with a team of five. Two reached the top before it started snowing; the other three climbed the last 1,000 ft in snowy weather and didn't summit until dark.

N Ridge  Sucess!

Climbed N. Ridge with 4 others. Great climb, but turned bad after my partner and I summited. Our other party of 3 got stuck on headwall during a snow storm and spent the next 8 hrs trying to reach summit. After we got them up had to descend in dark, and after endless wondering around near the lakes finally found trail back to camp. Long day!

Tiring chute - 2014 SC Day 9  Sucess!

Intended to climb nearby 'Roscoe peak,' but was too tired out by that awful chute. Next time, I've got to pick a better route ...

Great views!  Sucess!

Hiked up the Meysan Lakes Trail to Grass Lake, then headed up the slope and chute. Plenty of big rocks to follow, first to the left, then middle, finally on the right, very little problem with sand. Missed the part about the false summits on the ridge so went over all of them, came back down the right way!

NW Slope  Sucess!

I enjoyed it, didn't seem like a slog to me at all.

Northwest Slope  Sucess!

Pretty sandy slope which made for a tedious ascent, but a relatively quick descent. There are some rocks on the sides of the chute to cling to to avoid some of the sand.

N-ridge  Sucess!

One long day trip. With all the nice bivy sites along the way, next time I think I want to use one of them. The views from the ridge are amazing.
