MOUNT RUSSEL'S EAST RIDGE | California 14er - Sierra Nevada Mountains

On the outskirts of the Whitney Zone, towering over the the North fork Lone Pine Creek as well as the Sequoia National Park, sits a 14,094 foot granite behemoth named Mount Russell. Known mostly for being one of California's famous 14ers, as well as the exposed ridge near its peak, Mount Russell is overshadowed in size and popularity by its neighboring peak Mount Whitney (the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States). However, for anyone who has made it to the summit, its popularity is not at all a reflection of its beauty and most who have ascended Russell will note that its East Ridge (and there are dozens of other more difficult routes) is a far more interesting ascent than that of the Mount Whitney Trail, if one is up for the challenge.
