Whitney Winter Ascent Climbers

Price per person

$1,995

Climbing Mt Whitney in winter is an incredible experience that pushes your skills and endurance. The winter conditions add a level of challenge and beauty that you won’t find in the summer months. With snow and ice covering the terrain, you’ll need to be comfortable with winter mountaineering techniques such as ice axe use, cramponing, and self-arrest. The route can vary in difficulty depending on snowpack, weather, and your chosen approach, but it’s definitely a step up from summer climbs.

Training for a Mt Whitney Winter Climb prepares you not just for this climb but for future expeditions in alpine environments around the world. You’ll learn to navigate in snow, manage cold-weather camping, and deal with the unpredictability of winter weather. It’s an ideal training ground for anyone looking to expand their skills and take on bigger challenges, whether it’s other peaks in the lower 48 or more remote international mountain ranges such the Andes, Himalayas, or Alaska.
