Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Crabtree pass NOBO vs SOBO

The Southern Sierra High Route crosses Crabtree SoBo, and there is as good a description as you may need Here This route tags whitney and descends to Crabtree Lake from Discovery Pinnacle, but would also apply if you are coming up from Crabtree meadow, picking up at the upper end of the lake. The SSHR description does not indicate any particular difficulty in doing Crabtree Pass SoBo, except for the expected route-picking, and offers pretty detailed guides to getting from the Pass to Sky Blue, which seems to be the real crux of the route.



I believe Steve did Crabttree Meadow to Discovery Pinnacle fairly recently, so could offer route infor from Carbtree Meadow to about where the above picture was taken.
