Mount Russell hike

Our ambitious plan was to camp at Upper Boy scouts lake a tackle both Mount Russell and Whitney in 2 days. Without much of acclimatization that was quite hard, but never the less we did it. I was definitely impressed by Russell 14,094 feet high. We use excellent narrow east ridge, which reminded me of Matthes Crest traverse in Yosemite, but larger with better views.
