Скачать или смотреть Mt. Whitney Hike – Part 2: Outpost Camp to the Summit | Highest Peak in the Lower 48

Part 2 of my Mt. Whitney adventure takes us from Outpost Camp (10,360 ft / 3,157 m) all the way to the summit of the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States — Mt. Whitney at 14,505 ft (4,421 m).

We climb past Mirror Lake, cross Trailside Meadow, tackle the grueling 97 switchbacks, and step through Trail Crest into the final stretch — the high ridge to the summit hut. Every step means less oxygen, more wind, and bigger views, until we finally stand on top of the Lower 48.
