Hi, wondering if anyone has been up to Mt. Russell recently.
I'm curious what the east ridge route looks like, or might look like to the best of someone's knowledge?

Thanks,

cg, Kurt Wedberg with SMI Guides took a crew up the MR last weekend, and posted a bunch of pictures here:

Mt Whitney March 19-22, 2015

The Mt Russell east ridge would be similar to this picture, topping out on the Final 400 of Whitney (from Kurt's pics):

gardka31: Thanks for the post. The picture doesn't seem to come up. I'm a facebook member, so if you can point me to the person/web page, maybe I can get the picture to display.

gardka31: Not viewable, I suspect the viewing rights are limited to your friends on facebook rather than general public. Would love to see your pics smile

I chose to head down from UBL instead of heading up to Russell since it started snowing. Ended up driving through a blizzard on the way home, back to SF
