Krishna, no I haven't posted that report/description yet. The pictures are in the trip album, starting with
this one. The captions are a start, too.
The
Spotwalla link shows my SPOT track in the area, but I will be describing the shortcut better in a separate thread.
I saw that spur trail from Crabtree on some old map, too. I'll have to check my old Topo! map software. It probably does end at that camp.
Both the Crabtree-Discovery Pinacle shortcut and the Whitney Creek one would be excellent descent routes. Down from DP to Crabtree lakes would be easier than descending to Guitar Lake!
A day hike down Whitney Creek would require a return in the same day. I think taking a backpack down would not be that bad, if you took it slow and easy.
