I did Whitney in early July and since getting home have done nothing but work. This was great to read and see the pics, it made me ready for another day of work and gave me a much needed flash back. Haha obviously not your purpose in writing it but hey, it made my day better! Thanks! And congrats!
Actually, the trick with Muir is this: the rock is very reliable, so you can do things that you wouldn't dare do on equally steep sandstone or limestone. Plus, there are just a few ways that are class 3, and most people don't find them.

Re: Wait till you try DPS cl 4!DPS=Desert Peaks Section? What scares me are smooth surfaces, like the Sierras granite, or desert sandstone.
I trusted the rock on Muir...just didn't quite trust myself.

Excellent TR!Looking at doing Whitney, Muir and Russell with side trips to White Mountain Peak and Langley next year. Your TR definitely helps out.

Re: Excellent TR!Thanks! Definitely a big wish list. Russell is a beast...you planning to link that with Whitney or do it separately?
