"Day 18 of my JMT section hike. After the long day on Barnard and Trojan, we weren't sure we had enough energy for this one, but we went for it anyway. From Crabtree ranger station we wandered around the cliffs above Crabtree meadows before gaining the long W ridge up to the Hitchcock plateau. The walk up is quite sandy and took us a bit longer than anticipated. Having looked at this mountain from Trail Crest many times, it felt rewarding to finally stand atop the summit and look back at the broad west face of Whitney." — edg • Aug 21, 2019

"I completely underestimated the difficulty of this climb. Over 7000' of gain, and over 20 miles with and extremely tedious "boulderwack" from Trail Crest along the ridgeline to the summit. Slogged on but wound up hiking 2.5 hours in the dark. Probably should have saved this for summertime with more daylight. Only maybe 2 dozen parties have visited this summit since 2007." — Christopher • Nov 16, 2013
