Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Short Film of Snow Packed Ascent in Late Spring 2017

Hi Everyone, this is a short film that I put together from our attempt to summit Mt. Whitney via the mountaineers route on May 12th. It was our first time navigating heavy snow packed terrain with the use of crampons and an ice ax. A learning experience to say the least I hope you enjoy it!

Joshua, Thank you! I'd also like to share your outstanding picture that you took from the Iceberg Lake campsite:

Great video, Josh! Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you and Joree made the right call and had a great time.

Very entertaining video. Nice job. You've probably heard this already, but there's a better way to attach your ice ax leash.
