the original route

whitesides Mountain

     The Original Route is the classic Whitesides rock climb.  Just to warm you up the first pitch is 160 feet of continuous 5.6 and 5.7 friction climbing with only one piece if you don't miss it.  After the initial gut twister pitch the rest of the climbing is better protected but sometimes difficult and wandering.  Staying on route can be challenging in a couple of places.  From car to car expect this adventure to take most of the day if you are unfamiliar with the route or the area.
