Death Valley Road, near Big Pine, CA
Returning home from my 4 week trip in which I was recovering from my concussion, I did a portion of this climb (about 1500 vertical feet), which is much less than the ~2500 vertical for the full climb. But it was all I had in me that day, the concussion causing brain-fade still at that time.
It’s a terrific climb, and for those with more energy, descend to the junction then climb 6000' to Schulman Grove at 10,200'. Both are part of the Everest Challenge.
