Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Guide company for Mountaineers Route

I'm looking for a guide for next summer. Any suggestions? I've been up the main trail, have summited Shasta, Hood, and Rainier (guided), but don't want to get lost going up the MR.

Many regulars on the board here know Kurt Wedberg who runs Sierra Mountaineering International, out of Bishop. I get the sense that his company probably guides the mountain more than any other. Many on the board have hiked with him.

You can try him out on Oct 14th on Mt Baldy:

I'll second SMI, I've taken a two day mountaineering course with Kurt and will be climbing Mexico's volcanoes with him in a month!

Me, too. I can't say enough good things about him and his guides,
