Description

Framed by the stunning Owens Valley, Mount Whitney is the highest summit on the Great Basin divide. Its tallest peak reaches 4,421 m. Because of its magnificent height and its stunning nature and landscapes, it attracts adventurers and explorers year round. Winter is the time for the more daring to test out its terrain, and it is the ideal spot for a challenging and exhilarating climb. On our Guided Winter Climb in Mount Whitney, we encourage you to face that challenge head on, and help you on the way.

We begin our four day excursion with a briefing to get an overview of the terrain and check equipment. Although we are happy to show you the ropes, this is a trip for experienced climbers. You need to be fit to endure tough weather conditions. Of course, enthusiasm is required too! And the challenge is not without rewards. Stunning landscapes and a daring adventure complete this unique experience in the Sierra Nevada wilderness.

Once we start the climb, we will adjust pace and destinations depending on terrain, weather conditions and overall fitness of the group. At night, we will camp in the snowy wild and maybe do some stargazing by a warm campfire. Of course, we will also have a hearty nourishing dinner as part of the well deserved rest after a day of hard work. Although we expect previous experience and an advanced knowledge of climbing, throughout the excursion we will also learn techniques to enhance our command of winter climbing.

Are you looking to take your climbing skills to the next level? Then make sure to book your place and join us on this incredible guided winter climb in Mount Whitney! We will be happy to guide you on this challenging and rewarding ascent to the highest summit in the region!

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.
