A nice day for a first time on Mt Whitney. I was solo this day, so didn't quite finish my attempts of Discovery Pinnacle & Mt Muir. I wasn't familiar with the nontechnical routes and wasn't quite comfortable attempting the routes I found on my own.
The trip across the chockstones at the very end of Keeler Needle is quite scary, if not especially difficult. Thousands of feet of exposure greets you on both sides of a narrow ledge.
The views from Mt Whitney were nice, though I think I may have preferred the view from Mt Langley.
