Access Issue: Certain Peaks: Access limited from May to October every year
Details
Some of the peaks in this area are restricted (not all). See the Inyo National Forest's Mount Whitney Zone regulations webpage fs.usda.gov/detail/inyo/pas… for current information. Access is usually limited from May to October of every year from the highest elevations of most of the Lone Pine Creek watershed.
Description
An enjoyable day outing from Whitney portal. Climb the obvious couloir splitting the south east face of Thor Peak. Once at the top of the couloir, head out onto the large summit plateau, head right towards the true summit.
Mostly class 2 with a couple of short class 3 steps. Very enjoyable as a winter route. Either descend the way you came, or head down scree/talus slopes to the west depositing you at Lower Boy Scout Lake
