Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion So, you want to climb the Mountaineer's Route in winter?

Sounds like you are encouraging winter MR trips...? I hope not; too many wannabe climbers are reading this thread.

One snow February, four of us were just about to LBSL when the snow slope we were on suddenly, with a loud crack, slid down about three feet and stopped. We retreated from the area and went to Telescope Peak instead...a lot wiser and safer.
