Standard South Face is 4th class. Lots of scree and talus in coulior makes for unpleasant climbing lower on the route.

	5.9	★★★ Beckey Route	Trad	High Sierra	★★★ Classic	David Gibbs	Fri 11th Oct 2013
We were trying as a team of 3, and following another team up so slow. Then one of our 3 got hurt on the first pitch and had to lower-off, more delays. So, I made the call to back off at the 3rd belay, rather than continue. Spang wanted to continue... but acquiesced. I lead pitch 1, Spang lead 2 and 3.

	5.6	★ Mountaineers Route - Northeast Ridge Linkup	Alpine 400m	High Sierra	★ Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Tue 27th Oct 2015
I didnt intend to do this route, but deteriorating conditions and a flawed judgement call ended up with one of the scariest and most out-of-control experiences of my life. I was lucky enough to live and learn (and I have learned). Objectively, this route isnt too bad a moderately easy rock route to the summit of Mount Whitney (would be a great simul-climb), with tonnes of exposure, reasonable rock and climbing, and relatively free of ice and snow. Some patches of rotten rock.

This is a classic and busy route. I have climbed it about 7 times including winter ascents. It is not difficult, but exposed and dangerous in winter.
