Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Whitney summit age records (official or unofficial)

bobpickering: Bob Rockwell wrote a trip report about his 1952 ascent of Mt Whitney when he was 15. They stayed in the hut overnight so they could watch the a-bomb test over in Nevada. A reference to his report is here, but his ridgenet.net links are no longer available.

Since he was 15 then, that would put him about 81 now in 2018. He last climbed Whitney several years ago, did not summit because he got sidetracked helping a SAR recovery.
