Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion How is Granite East Ridge?

Thanks for the TR Bob. I read it earlier and it’s what sparked me asking this question. I wasn’t sure how MT’s rating system compare to CA’s.

It’s 25+ mi and the summit block is apparently a low class 5. I really don’t want to walk all that way just to turn around, but my peakbagger friend from CA said it’s comparable to Russell in terms of exposure. It’s why I figured to solicit beta on this forum, because at least it’s a more standardized definition of the difficulty.
