Just did Whitney (and Muir) via Mountaineer's Route as a day hike yesterday (7/24) Overall, this hike was much easier than Russell via East Ridge which my son and I did two weeks prior as a overnight.
Thanks for the report! We're headed up to UBSL next Tuesday planning to climb Whitney and Muir from UBSL on Wednesday and Russell via the East Ridge from UBSL on Thursday.
On climbing the final 400, does starting up on the left then crossing over to the right sound about right? We plan to descend this way as well unless the "walk off" is completely dry.
Any suggestions for Muir? Is it a fairly obvious hike and scramble from the trail?
Do you remember about how long Russell took you from UBSL?
