By in August of 2002 I crew for Jack McBroom when he set the record for climbing all 15 of California's 14er's, 4 days, 11 hours, 19 minutes. Jack felt the most difficult was the Middle Palisade . He climbed the back side not the glacier side. I guess that would be the North/West side.

Can somebody remind me what a *grade* III climb is? Obviously it's *class* 5 terrain, but grade escapes me.
@codyandvictoria 10 ай бұрын
The grade tends to be similar to the "level of commitment". Grade iii being most of the day - grade IV would take all day, etc etc

Starlight and Polemonium are not normally given status as independent 14ers, and T-bolt sometimes is not. Also of note is that Mt. Whitney is the highest peak in the CONTIGUOUS--not the continental--US. (The highest peak in the continental US is McKinley, as Alaska IS part of the continent of North America.) Next, it is worth mentioning that Mt. Langley is the southernmost 14er not just in California but in all the US (but NOT in North America, as there are several mountains above 14K in Mexico). Lastly, Split Mountain is unique in that it is the only 14er whose west side lies within the watershed of the SOUTH fork of the Kings River.

My family and I would go hiking every weekend and sometimes we would hike 12 miles other times 6 or 7, but the rest of the week we would come home from work, sit on the couch smoke weed and watch movies. We were much more like couch potato stoners then your healthy ,fit ,in shape, gym member,and we climbed mount Shasta. We even smoked cigarettes too on the way up.Sigh.. I'd die doing that now. God being in my 20s was great being in my 40s is depressing.

I ascended Ritter in 1972. In June we decided to come back in August as there was way too much snow. Hiking over Donohue was a nightmare with 60 to 80 feet of snow. None of us (us being 3) had done the JMT over Donohue before, but we managed it and 1000 Is. Lake still had snow on it, so we backed out of climbing Banner and Ritter at the time. We decided to do Banner after a couple of days, but it was an easier ascent.

Wondering how to get information about traversing some of the ridges between the 14ers and 13ers. Thought I'd start out in the drainage north of Whitney, and weave north, northwest, northeast... towards Forester pass. Much harder with an overnight backpack on, I'm sure, but I love wandering on ridges, and getting a bird's-eye view of alpine lakes.

The first recorded death on Mt. Shasta occurred during the USGS surveying expedition led by Gilbert Thompson in 1884. A young architecture student from Berkeley was doing summer work at 'plane table surveying' on the NE side of the mountain. He'd recently purchased a rifle new to him. While the rifle was slung over the saddle horn of his mule and Howard Norton Pomeroy, promising young son of the Dean of the Hastings Law School at Berkeley, was leading his mule down a steep slope through chaparral, the hammer was withdrawn by brush and released discharging a bullet into his left leg above the knee. His femoral artery was severed and he bled out alone on the mountain. The Sisson History Project

This is a great overview of Whitney exploration, but there is a clear distinction between winter and summer climbing. Hiking/climbing in winter conditions on Whitney will cost you thousands of $, as opposed to late summer day-hiking. which can cost less than $300 for shoes, essential clothing, day-pack, filter, and food. I've done both the main trail and mountaineer's route in late summer with just my shoes, daypack, helmet, filter, flashlight, and gloves. I did half-way hikes to 10 and 12,000ft. with nothing but a satchel containing food and water. But it's always best to go prepared for bad weather, as it is nearly certain you will get caught in an afternoon rain or even snow storm in the summer. At least carry convertible pant leggings and a waterproof windbreaker jacket for inclement weather. Your best asset is proper physical conditioning and a good pair of shoes - everything else is negotiable.

I watched this video expecting a lot more when I got to Shasta. I completed this in one day, starting at Bunny Flat at 2:30am, summiting around 11:30, I got back to the car at 3:30pm. We didn't need to put on crampons until Lake Helen but nothing below that was difficult. Red Banks was tough, Misery Hill is deceiving, you think you're near the summit but you're actually still quite a bit aways.

@@MKxpl Be sure to check out conditions (I use www.mountain-forecast.com/ and make sure you input the proper elevation on the left tab). Conditions at the top vs Bunny Flat are vastly different. I tried to summit in June but there was still snow falling and very low temps ( 6 degrees at the top and high winds) so I had to reschedule a few weekends. As for fitness, I'm in decent shape working out a few times a week ramping up before this trip. I think the hardest part for the people in my group wasn't the fitness but rather getting used to the elevation. Only half the group decided to summit. If you can spend the night before you make the ascent, I think it helps a good amount. This was the first time I had ever tried mountaineering, I have a lot of snowshoeing experience but nothing this steep and nothing this high prior to Shasta. I would recommend learning to glissade because you will want to do that instead of hiking back down to Lake Helen. Good luck on your adventure, MK!
