Climbing Mt. Whitney's Mountaineers Route: How It Feels in the Spring

A realistic look at climbing the Mountaineer's Route on Mt. Whitney in late spring/early summer conditions (Summit date: June 1st). Thurop and I break down the hike from Whitney Portal past the Ebersbacher Ledges to Upper Boy Scout Lake and Iceberg Lake. If you're preparing for the East Couloir and the Final 400 crux, this video highlights our gear mistakes, route finding challenges, and the reality of the no-fall zone descent.
