WHITESIDES BACKCOUNTRY

     This route is one that I first heard about in Xanadu Mountaineering.  If ya'll remember that shop then you should know the beta on it.  For the rest of ya'll I will not give this one completely up.  If it is in it can be seen from some point on Starshine.  Figure it out and go on a bushwhacking adventure.  You will be rewarded if you put the proper effort into it.  The route is a 300+ ft., three pitch grade 4- and can be done in two pitches with 60 meter ropes.
