3 Reasons

Steep climbing routes

Most of the climbs on Mount Whitney are approximately 1,000 feet tall. And the ones on the east face are covered in shade by the afternoon. The steep routes may present huge challenges but guarantees rewarding views.

Direct ascent above the crowds

The mountaineers’ route to the summit of Mount Whitney is much more direct than the hiking trails, and much less crowded given its more demanding nature. Ascend the snow-packed valleys that lead to the top and glance at the breathtaking views as you get closer and closer to your destination.

An accessible ascent

Despite the steep size of Whitney, and its dramatic crags and spires, it is a surprisingly accessible mountain to climb. Although it’s important to note that the climb still involves much planning, preparation and practice.

More Info

The Whitney mountain is located in Central California, and is part of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It is the highest peak in the United States except for the giant summits of Alaska. It rises from the Great Basin Desert and at 4,421 meters high overlooks Death Valley, home to the lowest elevation in North America. All this makes Mount Whitney an incredible place to mountain climb as it offers such spectacular scenery from base to summit.
