View of Mount Whitney from the approach. |
Silhouetted against the top of the Mount Whitney ridge. The Keeler Needle is directly behind me. |

View up Mount Russell from the base of our route, called "Western Front". You can see a party just starting the second pitch. |
On lead on the 4th pitch, scoping the upper parts of the route. |

Mount Whitney from our camp at Iceberg lake. I like this picture because it captures lots of stuff going on... the mountain, the rescue litter, and the food bags hanging away from the critters. |
My partner and I on the summit of Mount Whitney. Taken by one of probably 50 people who came up the trail and were on the summit with us. |
