Ascent Notes for: Whitney-Gilman Ridge - 5.7 popular Average Rating : 4.74/5

Excellent weather and fun climbing with Paul. I led p2 and p6 top-out.

Super fun climb with great exposure and a spectacular view top to bottom. Wasn't exactly psyched about the 150ft vertical ascent hike at the top to get to the brutal descent trail. Make sure you save water for the descent. Ended up drinking from a stream. Can't say enough good things about this climb.

Great climbing overall with wicked exposure! Watch for loose rock.
Left crack variation on P1 somewhat sketchy and commiting.

Sweet climbing with great weather and no other climbing parties on a Thursday. Seconded WG about 5 years ago. Finally led it. Did the 5.8 variation for pitch 2 unintentionally.

bad bad rock quality due to recent rock fall.

I got lost on the drive down, hiked up in the night, we wanted to sleep on the climb...

Lots of loose rock, if you're below another party, stop bitching and don't stay right under them, they're trying to do their best not to drop pebbles...

What a way to start a climbing career. Beware of getting your knee stuck in the four inch crack when jamming.

Loved this one, the exposure was amazing. Hooked, but want to lead the pipe pitch next time.

Classic for the grade. A must-do.
