Super cool, B! That final climb to the summit looked so gnarly. Thank you for sharing your adventure! 🤙 PS. Get yourself a pair of Dirty Girl Gaiters. You won't regret the purchase!

Thank you! I had a pair of gaiters like the dirty girls at the beginning of the trip, but the velcro came unglued from my heel 😥

@@speed_of_a_human I used to have the same issue. The 'secret' is to clean the area on the back of the shoe with a strong solvent like acetone, let it dry, then apply a thin layer of super glue GEL, then affix the Velcro. The Velcro will float on top the glue layer, so press hard until the glue sets, then wipe off any excess glue with your acetone.

Wow, a summit register from the 70's. How cool!

There was a second register dating back to 1971 as well. Less than 100 signatures between both books.

Wow, what an epic adventure! Whaleback sounds like such a remote and challenging peak to climb, but the views must have been totally worth it. The history behind Shorty's Cabin is really interesting too, adds a cool element to the trip. Thanks for sharing all the details and taking us along on this journey - it’s inspirering me to get out there and explore more of the Sierra!

Very cool to see someone else do this and document it so well. Whaleback is among my most memorable summits.

Thanks! I saw your video too. Looks like you went up the West side of the mountain. It's hard to capture how absolutely striking Whaleback is when you first enter Cloud Canyon.

If you put that mountain in the middle of Yosemite Valley, it would be another Half Dome. But because it’s in the middle of nowhere, it’s unknown. Glad you got to experience this incredible summit for yourself, though the view from the Meadow is more memorable to me than the summit was.

@@-Stephen- Agree totally. The climb was fun, and the summit was great, but not top 10 for me.
