A must do trail. I very much enjoyed savoring the experience by camping at both Lone Pine Lake and Trail Camp rather than the one day suffer-fest. Summit day included breaking camp on the way down and hiking all the way out. Not too bad as it was all downhill! May 2, 2017

Halfway down the chute looking up, you get a better sense of just how steep this terrain is.
Stop and enjoy the awesome views from the chute.
Halfway down the chute, looking right.
09/11/2018 Trail Crest looking west towards Hitchcock Lakes and Sequoia. Cloudless day and only a breeze.
It's a long, rough trail to the summit of Mount Whitney.
