Experience

Mt. Whitney is the tallest mountain in the lower 48 United States, located in the Sierra  Nevada Mountain range, with an elevation of 14,505 feet. 

 

My Mt. Whitney climb was another successful summit reach, following Mt. Kilimanjaro, on August 9th, 2020. While the duration of the Whitney climb is much shorter than Kilimanjaro, it was far more physically demanding. This is due to the jagged and steep terrain, which also resulted in proper rock climbing to finish the last 700 feet before reaching the summit.
