Tom Mason climbing pitch 3 of East Buttress, Mt. Whitney. This is one crux and involves some 5.7 face moves with not much pro. There is a variation with better pro to the right. |

East Buttress of Mt Whitney based off of SuperTopo. If taking the 5.8 variation, you basically solo most of P1 (cl. 4), so P1 & P2 can be linked with a 70m rope and probably a 60m rope. |

After we got down from Whitney, we went to climb at the Lions Den. The topo clearly states: 4 wheel drive. |
