Brief report:
Climbed with rwkent. Our plan was to wake up at 3:30a.m., however, a few late night sprinkles (were sleeping on the open) woke us up at 2:45a.m. or so. So, we left the Meysan Lake trailhead parking lot at 3:30a.m. We got to the 10,000-foot level cut-off just before twilight and decided to take a break here to wait for daylight. First tower is easily bypassed on the left with a 4th class downclimb on the other side. Crux is the 5.6 right-facing lieback (the one with 2 pitons) on the 2nd tower on the right. This was the only place we roped up. We managed to climb it as one single 50-meter pitch. At the 3rd tower, we followed a sandy path on the right for 100 yards or so and then went up from there on 3rd & 4th class rock to the summit. We topped out at 11:30a.m (8 hrs trailhead to summit). Warm day. Left summit just after 12:00p.m. and were back to our cars just before 3:00p.m. (11.5 hrs car-to-car). Excellent burger and home-made fries at the Whitney Portal Store (WPS) afterwards.
