Mt. Whitney Program
June 2025 TBD
We are thrilled to include Mt. Whitney in our Climb for Clean Air program! Partnering with Sierra Mountain Guides, their experienced team will lead this incredible ascent via the Mount Whitney Trail. At 14,505 feet, the climb offers breathtaking views and a rewarding alpine challenge, gaining over 6,000 feet of elevation across 11 miles to the summit. The Mountaineer’s Route is a challenging undertaking and requires excellent fitness and a spirit of mountaineering adventure that harkens back to the first ascent of the mountain. By comparison, consider that the Whitney Trail route starts and finishes at the same place but is almost twice as far in mileage! Enjoy the steep and direct aesthetics, and greater solitude getting to the highest summit. Prepare to climb a snow or rock filled gully for about 1000′ and then enjoy technical scrambling, safely protected by the guide for the last few hundred feet. This route may require crampons and/or ice axes depending on the time of year. No matter when you go, bring your camera!
