Description
Route up Whitney's first tower. Lots of loose rock, but pleasant and varied climbing.
P3 was PG13 the way we did it due to an unprotectable traverse that would lead to a nasty swing, but could be better protected by traversing earlier.
Descent options: 1. Rap off of a slung block into the mountaineers route. Single rap on a 60m. 2. Continue to the top of the first tower on and walk off. Slightly run out, but easy climbing. Good for linking with East Face or East Buttress for a full day of alpine climbing.
