Caption: 1,700' of pure heaven. The Mt. Whitney chute. 3 hours ascent, 15 minute glissade down.

Just a warning: Glissading without an ice axe for a brake is life-threatening. Glissading while wearing crampons is asking for a broken leg.





Caption: Almost back to trail crest then back down the chute. Snow was getting slushy later in the day.
