Mt. Whitney's Mountaineer's Route (winter)
Loading...
Uploaded by LimitBreaker1024 on Mar 19, 2010
Our (Vitaliy Musiyenko, Bryan Bell, and Maxim Belyakov) ascent on March 13th 2010. This video is made to keep this adventure fresh in our memories, and to share with others the beautiful scenery of Mt. Whitney. This mountain has many different routes and taking mountaineer's route during winter is completely different world than taking over-crowded Whitney trail during summer.
I do not own music in this video, and I do not plan to sell it.

It take balls to do this in the winter, I've climbed Mt. Whitney twice, but both in the warmth of the summer sun, good job you guys!

@sn0wKat I have not done this route before, but if I remember it is class III terrain with some exposed ledges.

Thinking about doing this route in a couple weeks. Have never been to Whitney, but summited Rainier last year. Did you guys rope up at all? Any advice?

At 4:25, I'm guessing from the red line that you guys decided to climb some of the exposed rock rather than continue in the gully proper?

@ragingviolinist
yes, it was about 4th class with a lot of exposure, but a lot better than climbing in that chute on that day. Decided to do that because snow was barely covering rocks under and was really hard/icy (very unusual conditions) on the left side when we climbed it. On the way down we kept on the other side of the chute and snow cover was a bit better. I don't think anyone climbs that rock usually...but turned out to be doable...

@LimitBreaker1024 Damn, that sounds intense. I had a failed summit bid on Whitney back in January 2011. Wind conditions at Iceberg made my climbing partner and I decide to turn back. Didn't get the hands-on exp. I wanted in the MR chute... bummer. Also: completely tangential (not sure how I noticed actually): climber tagged in the description: Vitaliy M from SummitPost? (I use the site fairly regularly. Sorry if this seems completely random.)
