Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Complete E Arete of Humphreys

Hey everyone,

First off, a huge congrats to Kurt on a successful 3rd summit of Everest. Second, on 5/12, we went up the E Arete of Humphreys. The approach was almost 100% snow free. The route itself is in wonderful shape and we had a beautiful day...it's starting to feel like a familiar Sierra summer! We descended the N couloir. Aside from some postholing in the couloir and on the snow above Longley Reservoir, the conditions were absolutely perfect. It was my first time up Humphreys and the rock was fantastic.

Take care,
Hari

Great adventure. I'd love to have your job. Nice site, too.
