Mount Ritter 13,143’ North Face cl.3/4
One of the most classic routes in the High Sierra! John Muir’s first ascent route up the NE Glacier & N Face of Mt Ritter. After climbing Theodore Solomons route up from the west in 2020 it was awesome to return this year and tackle this much more serious route with 2 good friends. We tagged Ritter along with Banner Peak and a few other summits over the course of 5 days on a section hike through one of my fav parts of the Sierra High Route: Tuolumne Meadows to Mammoth Lakes. This route was much spicier than I had anticipated and I was very proud of my buds for sticking with me all the way up and down the steep snow and loose slippery rock walls! Turns out John Muir himself was too terrified to descend this line after climbing it so he found an easier way down the southeast slopes. You can now read his harrowing account of the first ascent of this climb online.
