[CMCEmail] Mt. Russell on October 4

[CMCEmail@Californiamountaineer.com]

Update: James Russell and I climbed the east ridge of Mt. Russell yesterday (October 4) in about 14 hours car-to-car.  This goes to show two things.  First, and most obviously, climbing a mountain with someone whose last name is identical to the mountain's name is a recipe for success.  Second, the CMC email list really works!

  Fellow CMC members:

  I am planning on climbing the east ridge of Mt. Russell on Sunday, October 4.  Let me know if you are interested.  I will drive up on Saturday and spend the night in Lone Pine, Whitney Portal, or somewhere nearby.  I will start hiking by the light of the full moon in the pre-dawn hours of Sunday.  Then I'll drive back to SoCal that night.

  Note: this is not a guided or beginner's-level trip.  You should be self-sufficient on all aspects of this trip, including routefinding and scrambling unroped on exposed third class terrain at 14,000 feet.
