Mt Whitney Class January 29, 2014 AD (Free)

Behind this imposing edifice lies the finest Mt Whitney class in its price range
I will be holding an REI Outdoor School class for climbing Mt Whitney on Wednesday, January 29 at REI Northridge, 18605 Devonshire Street in fabulous Northridge, CA.  Call (818) 831-5555 and make your reservation now or follow the link above and find the class in the class list.  We'll have a full house so get 'er done.  I'll cover everything from permits to preparation.  Pictures and everything.  It will be funny.  Come on down!

  1. Hi Jerry, I attended your free class at the Northridge REI in early April. Since then, my wife and I have followed your jogging and hiking regimen (albeit with a compressed schedule and a few amendments due to illness and travel). We finished the non-Whitney portion of your "dirty dozen" yesterday (doing the last seven of them with fully loaded packs) on San Bernardino Peak, with a nice mountain thundershower on our descent. We're hiking the High Sierra Trail beginning August 6th with the plan to summit Mt. Whitney on the 12th. I can't wait. I'd never even heard of the HST route to Mt. Whitney prior to your REI presentation. Thanks for all the advice! Happy hiking.

  3. Our High Sierra Trail trek was a success, despite a crazy, all-day "thundersleet" storm during our descent of Mt. Whitney on Monday. Thanks again for the advice here on your blog and at the REI seminar- especially the part about getting a burger from Doug at the Whitney Portal store.

    1. Glad everything went well. I know summiting Mt Whitney was a completely secondary objective to getting a burger at the Portal Store. :) Of course, pictures would be a big help. Congratulations!

OK guys, let's keep 'er civil and mannerly. This is not a political site so diatribes of that ilk are not welcome and won't be published.
