We left from Shepherd Pass trail head early, made the ten mile trek to the pass, there is only about 40' of snow to cross. Not a big deal, then headed cross country to the west face of Mount Williamson and made our ascent. It was a perfect day of climbing. If there is anyone wondering, there is no snow to deal with aside from the small bit at the top of Shepherd Pass. See ya at Whitney portal later today. Tomorrow Whitney to Tyndall over Shepherds Pass and down.
