Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion So, you want to climb the Mountaineer's Route in winter?

Thanks for re-posting Bob R's caution, Steve. (As I read it, a local SAR helicopter flew over our house, headig for the Bishop Creek area.)

Unfortunately, there will be posters who appear to encourage climbing the MR in winter. Question is, do the readers (whose qualifications we do not know) know the qualifications and leadship abilities of those posters who encourage winter ascents in our local mountains?
