Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Kearsarge pass - open and broken in?

Ok, Brad, you have me interested. (I have a more-than-casual connection to Charlotte Dome, so it's on my list.) How long did it take you?

A few years ago, I finished a 7-day JMT section by descending to Roads End via Charlotte Creek. That was quite a bushwhack! We descended on the SE side of the creek, where it would have been marginally easier if we had been on the NW (Charlotte Dome) side.

From Road's end, Charlotte Dome's top is a 5500' elevation change -- a major hike! Did you hike to the base of the dome and then go up the east side of it?

Here's a Gmap4 map of the area.
