Wotans Throne, California, USA (12,746 ft / 3885 m): via the NW Ridge (Class 3)

Wotans Throne (12,746')

Brief report:

Started hiking just a bit beyond from the winter road closure (at ~ 6800' of elevation) at 7:00am. Dragging ass today---took me an hour to reach the regular Whitney Portal trailhead. Then, from Outpost Camp I just had to break trail. I went up the drainage next to Pinnacle Ridge from Mirror Lake. Finally ascended the NW ridge of Wotans Throne and was on the summit by ~ 1:30pm. Back at the car by 5:30pm.
