An overnight trip along the Mountaineer's Route of Mount Whitney. Camped out at Upper Boyscout Lake and summited the next day. I had originally wanted to take the so called 'Thompson Variation' where you end up scrambling along the slippery and steep looking slabs on the north end of lower boyscout lake. The route looked initimidating, so I instead took the normal mountaineer's route along the south end of the lake.
