Ascent Trip Report

Two of us climbed Mt. Whitney via Mountaineer's route on Mar-15 2015. Because we arrived from sea level (Vancouver, BC) to make sure the climb will be smooth without altitude sickness stayed first night at Lower Boyscout Lake(3,150 m) and second at Iceberg Lake (3,850 m). Climbing day conditions were perfect, freezing overnight and zero wind at the top. The usually crowded summit was empty so we enjoyed it all to ourselves. We returned same way. Perfect trip.
