description
The northern-most (right hand, facing the mountain) of the 3 mighty ridge-lines that sweep down from the summit of Lone Pine Peak into the Owen's River Valley 7000' below.
Only a short top section of the ridge is commonly done, after hiking up the Meysan Lakes trail from Whitney Portal and traversing onto the ridge at around 11,000' ASL. This route can also be done from the valley floor however, turning it into a 7,000' grade VI alpine monster like its siblings to the left.
