Mt Langley - Summit timberlinetrails.net
The Summit Of Mt Langley - has a great view of the southern Sierra's. Mt Muir (not shown above), Mt Whitney,
Mt Russell, Mt Williamson, Middle Palisade, and Split Mountain as well as Mt Langley make up over a third of the California
fourteener's, and can all be seen from the summit of Mt Langley. There is also a great view of the Owens Valley along with
the town of Lone Pine. Be careful when approaching the north side of the summit. The drop off is intense, and care must be
taken if you want to take a peak down that side of the mountain. For well trained climbers, the north side offers an
incredible selection of aretes, buttresses, and knife-blade ridges to practice their skills on. For an Aerial View of Mt Langley

sign your name in the book, is just one of the many perks of
making it to the summit.

With a cold wind blowing over the summit that day, Sean and
Kevin take refuge under a large rock to reduce the chill factor.
