Mt Whitney East Buttress 5.7

In the last week of September I climbed the East Buttress of Mt. Whitney with my friend Mike.
Day 1. We camped at iceberg lake just below the route.
Day 2. Started at 6:15 and climbed the East Buttress. We took the mountaineers route down to camp.
Day 3. Packed up camp and hiked out.
Gear: our rack was a bit of an overkill and routes did not need many placements.
Gear used:
Cams .04-3 with 2 2”
1/2 set of nuts 6-12
9 alpine draws
2 120cm slings
2 60cm slings
15’ cordelette
5 extra carabiners
The rock was good quality granite.
