Moody Mt. Whitney 2, High Sierra, California
Morning dawns unsettled, on the eastern faces of Mt. Muir, Day Needle, Keeler Needle, and mighty Mt. Whitney (14,505 ft / 4421 m). It felt ominous in that little glacial valley, watching the clouds build, while shadows streamed fast across the rock faces from left to right. Several times I heard rock avalanches that lasted over 30 seconds...but never saw where they were falling from. A little while later, thunder and graupel (snow hail) forced a retreat to my nice warm tent. Another magical morning on the Big W. #MtWhitney #California
