Summer Hiking and Rock Climbing in Mount Whitney

Getting to the top of Mount Whitney, the highest summit in the contiguous United States, should be on the bucket list of any mountain climber. On this 3-day summer hike and rock climbing expedition, we offer you the chance to do just that. Come and experience one of the most exciting climbs in the Sierra Nevada region and discover stunning views at a unique altitude!

First, we start with a meeting at our base camp to go over our excursion basics. The next day, once we have checked everything, we begin hiking and rock climbing to the top of Mount Whitney at an altitude of 4421 m. To get to this unique vantage point we have two options. Either we take the east face or we take the east buttress to the summit. Both alternatives allow us to ascend and descend back to camp within the day. Furthermore, having a base camp means we don’t have to carry heavy packs on our adventure. Consequently, although hiking and rock climbing experience is required for this trip, the expedition is very friendly. Of course, you will need a good fitness level.

After having reached the summit of Mount Whitney,  we will celebrate under the stars when we return to our campsite. Then, the next day, we will get a chance to explore some more of the region. The summer weather is ideal to hike in this area, and the landscapes and wildlife are truly breathtaking.

So what is your next step? Book your place now and join us on this fun and exciting summer hiking and rock climbing adventure to the summit of Mount Whitney! We will be happy to show you one of the most stunning spots in Sierra Nevada.
