Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Any Olancha Peak Reports?

I'm thinking about taking my son up to Olancha peak in the next couple weeks. Anyone been up there lately?

i was there last week. stayed on the trail until it's time to break trail and take the talused slope to the summit. no shortcuts for us. we did it as a very long day hike, 22+ miles over 6k of gain. seems most do it as overnight backpack. makes sense.

my pix are here: http://picasaweb.google.com/ryan.norma81/OlanchaPeak6610#

great views from the summit. plenty of water flowing. good luck!

Norma, congrats to you and Dave on Olancha Peak! Awesome pix and captions. Love your photojournalism. 22+ miles over 6k of gain!!! You are simply amazing...
