Mt Whitney Zone Forums The Chat Room Mt. Whitney Summits & Attempts: How Many Have You Made?

I have 30 summits in 30 attempts. No failures, though I once settled for Muir when I intended to climb "Whitney and/or Muir." Muir was enough with a foot of fresh snow in January.

I've been up the trail (6x), the Mountaineers' Route (11x), the North Face (1x), the East Face (9x), and the East Buttress (3x). I had a rope for the East Buttress climbs and one of the East Face climbs.

I once skied from the summit to the usual winter "ROAD CLOSED" sign, but it wasn't nearly as fun as it sounds. My fastest trip up was the East Face in 3:29 from the car. I did my first one-day double earlier this year.
