Editorial Review:

Product Description:
People travel from all over the world to stand on the summit of Mt. Whitney (14,496Õ), the highest point in the contiguous United States. Miles of rugged granitic terrain, blue-green lakes, and impressive ridges are just some of the awesome vistas awaiting those who make it to the top.

Peter Croft, winner of the American Alpine ClubÕs Underhill Award for outstanding achievement in mountaineering, has updated this new edition for every level of climber: how to get the most out of your conditioning; prepping for overnight trips; dayhiking the main Whitney Trail; the North Fork approach; Whitney from other passes; cross-country routes; and challenging technical routes for advanced climbers.

Written and published in the Eastern Sierra, Climbing Mt. Whitney has sold more copies than any other guide to the peak, standing on its own merits as the best Whitney trail guide of all time. Approved by the USFS.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Info
Book contained a lot of good information - I am a novice, best part for me was the info on how to acclimatize and pointing out the different areas near Mt. Whitney to do that.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I've not been there yet but......
I have read another book on Mt Whitney, (which is ok), but this one is far more informative and in depth. The trail descriptions are really good and there is an underlying enthusiasm from the author which is infectious.
The proof of all this pudding will be in June 2007 when I will be trekking my way to the summit, guided by the trails detailed in this book.
I will try to return and re-review post trek.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - re: climbing Mt. Whitney
This book was very accurate & informative. I even used it for reference when I actually did the hike.I had never undertaken a hike of this magnitude before but with the accurate trail & milage description, plus the tips for training & altitude sickness, ( I came from the flatland), I was able to successfully complete & summit the hike strong & in the time frame I had anticipated.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Whitney guide out there
I have both the 1997 and 2005 editions of this guide. How do you improve an already great guide? Ask climber Peter Croft to coauthor. Recommending any guide book with Croft as a coauthor is pretty much a no-brainer. So HIGH-FIVE for CLIMBING MT. WHITNEY.

It has all the standard routes from every other pass, east south, west, north. The new edition has routes not covered in any other Whitney guide including Croft's personal creations. Bored? Try one of Croft's circumnavigational routes. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book!
Croft & Benti's Climbing Mt. Whitney book was so helpful in planning our climb of Whitney via the Mountaineers Route. Instead of descending via the Whitney Trail back to the Portal, we used one of Croft's four loop routes and returned to the North Fork drainage via the John Muir Trail, pass Guitar & Arctic Lakes, then back to the North Fork drainage via Whitney/Russell Col. We found this new book to be a vast improvement over any other Whitney book just because of Croft's new take on challenging hikes ... Read More
