Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Ebersbacher Ledges

Diana,

Please accept my condolences. I am embarrassed to admit that I didn't know the history of the ledges until today. From now on, I will think about your brave parents every time I pass the ledges instead of thinking about climbing Mt. Whitney (in fact, climbing in the Sierra's) for the first time in 2009 - we could not find the correct way down the ledges in the dark after climbing the East Buttress route car-to-car and had to bivy until sunrise ... brrrr.
