White Ridge route in non snow conditions?

Post by sigepnader »

Hello!

Looking to do Gymini and White Ridge tomorrow but not trying to do Sherman again. I’ve read in previous reports that you can go up the ridge before turning left approaching Hilltop but how does this look in the dry months? Still class two? I’ll be taking my gf who has not done anything like this before.

Thanks in advance.

White Ridge is still going to take you very close to Sherman's summit. The efforts up the slopes of White Ridge might not be worth the effort of trying to avoid Sherman

The center track here worked well for me.
