Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Whitney MR September 2

I had a great climb of the MR yesterday. It was great seeing Sierra Gator on an early morning jaunt.

I also found a shiny new rope in the middle of the Final 400 along with a couple sets of rappel anchors. I'm guessing a party bailed in a hurry during the lightning storms? Anyway, if you're reading this and a member of that party get in touch if you want your rope back .


Still wall to wall snow in the MR


It was a clear and very chilly morning on the summit of Whitney


Iceberg Lake still living up to its namesake even on September 2


Sierra Gator descending the Final 400.

Good running into you Kurt! That thin layer of ice in the lower part of the final 400 made it interesting....

Great seeing you too Jim! Yeah there were a lot of pockets of fresh snow from that downpour two nights before. Never a dull moment!!
