Mt. Whitney's East Buttress, just below the Peewee. Photo by Tauru.
Roping up at the start of the route.
Topo aspect from Iceberg Lake showing 5.8 alternate start for the first pitch. Highly recommend this variation. Climbers can be seen on first pitch of regular 5.6 start.
An incredible line. This perspective is hard to imagine when you're looking up at the mountain, but I hope this photo shows how it isn't nearly as steep / scary when you're up there. Do this climb!

Stay along the cliffs to the right on the descent of the Mountaineers Route and aim for the notch (shown here) to the right of Piss Rock to avoid lower gully. Cairned all the way.
