Description

Getting to the top of Mount Whitney, the highest summit in the contiguous United States, should be on the bucket list of any mountain climber. On this 3-day summer hike and rock climbing expedition, we offer you the chance to do just that. Come and experience one of the most exciting climbs in the Sierra Nevada region and discover stunning views at a unique altitude!

First, we start with a meeting at our base camp to go over our excursion basics. The next day, once we have checked everything, we begin hiking and rock climbing to the top of Mount Whitney at an altitude of 4421 m. To get to this unique vantage point we have two options. Either we take the east face or we take the east buttress to the summit. Both alternatives allow us to ascend and descend back to camp within the day. Furthermore, having a base camp means we don’t have to carry heavy packs on our adventure. Consequently, although hiking and rock climbing experience is required for this trip, the expedition is very friendly. Of course, you will need a good fitness level.

After having reached the summit of Mount Whitney,  we will celebrate under the stars when we return to our campsite. Then, the next day, we will get a chance to explore some more of the region. The summer weather is ideal to hike in this area, and the landscapes and wildlife are truly breathtaking.

So what is your next step? Book your place now and join us on this fun and exciting summer hiking and rock climbing adventure to the summit of Mount Whitney! We will be happy to show you one of the most stunning spots in Sierra Nevada.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
