Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Mt Tyndall

Anybody been up Tyndall recently?

I’m headed up and wondering if iceaxe and crampons are still needed on the upper portion of the class 3 route.

Unlikely. We were there yesterday.





See the picture gallery for other related images on the trail.

edit: See the snow crossing before the top of the pass. Depending on the time of day, you may need crampons + ice ax. We climbed around it.

I climbed Mt Tyndall in late August 2017 which was a very similar snow year. There was a snow patch near the top but you could work your way around it.
