Whitney-Keeler-Muir on the Main Trail  Sucess!

Almost feels like cheating doing it from the main trail, but the good class 3 (3+?) scramble takes away the guilt. Second 14-er of the day (3rd if you count Keeler Needle). Dimitri and I skipped Crooks because its too much like Keeler and I needed something else to look forward to on my next trip. Awesome views of "The 99" and Trail Camp.

MR MT loop  Sucess!

Day hiked the MR with 2 friends. Their first time up Whitney. My 4x made all the better with friends. Very busy in the chute lots of people knocking rocks loose. Took the main trail back and tagged Mt Muir on the way.

from WT  Sucess!

At the end of a long Carillon-Russel-Whitney dayhike, I decided to head up the short use trail north of the Whitney Trail to the fun class 3 scrambling of Mt Muir. It was very worth it.

from WT  Sucess!

Very short diversion. I see a maximum prominence of about 280' above ridgeline. I take it that there isn't a 300' prominence rule for CA 14er's, or perhaps this was a just exception to the rule for a good cause?

From the main Whitney Trail  Sucess!

Climbed from the main trail after climbing the MR up Whitney. Almost made the long hike out the main trail worth it. Almost. Some fun scrambling up to the top.

Route Climbed: East Buttress Date Climbed: June 16, 2007  Sucess!

This is an aweful route. Secor describes it as "a splendid climb." He probably never climbed it. All that we found was choss, loose rock, plants growing in climbing cracks, and talus sliding on top of sand for the class 3 sections. Tried to climb the Misha variation but ended up climbing a differnt hand crack (5.7) to the left. I would not recommend this route to anyone. Climbed with emppeng27 (cool kid)

Day trip with Whitney  Sucess!

Day tripped this along with Whitney in a little under 12hrs car to car. The summit block seemed more challenging than the class 3 I expected After a few tries found a workable line to the top.

Fun Side Trip  Sucess!

It's a fun side trip with a little pucker power. If you've got a extra hour on your Whitney assent you should do it. 2005 was a great snow year.

Whitney Trail  Sucess!

Climbed Muir on the way back down from Whitney. I met awagher on the way up and he and his friends helped coach me up the last move to the summit. I doubt I would have summited had they not been there. I guess I'm just a pansy sometimes.

Failed attempt :(

I tried to summit Muir and the way back from Whitney, first I summited the wrong peak, then I figured out which one I needed to climb but could not find the class 3 route, started what I figure was a class 4 route and retreated. I was tired and did not feel good about it, next time,

Whitney Trail  Sucess!

Passed it on my 1st trip to Whitney, so went back when I decided to start climbing more 14ers. Fun scramble from the trail. Only a small amount of 3rd class from what I remember.
