Next trip up the mountain, I'm determined to look hard for the site high on the switchbacks....
That's not a particularly good one. Small, maybe squeeze two, and not room for a tent. No water, of course.
Better if you want to camp on the switchbacks is a flat area to the left of the trail, a few switchbacks above the spring. There's a trickle of water nearby, in summer.
If you want to see more pictures from that climb, go to
2009-05-23. The occasion was the 57th anniversary of my first Mt. Whitney ascent. And my xxxth summit.
