| Description |
(1 in a multiple picture album) Note the two large "spires" to the right of Mt. Whitney. The one in the middle of the picture (2nd spire of the two). This is named Crooks Peak for Hulda Crooks. Hulda Crooks, nicknamed "Grandma Whitney" for her two dozen climbs up 14,495-foot Mt. Whitney between the ages of 66 and 91, has died in 1998. Can you imagine climbing Whitney at 91? Crooks, the oldest woman to scale Mt. Whitney and 12,388-foot Mt. Fuji in Japan, died Sunday at Linda Valley Villa retirement home in Loma Linda, Calif., where she had lived for the last six years. "It's been a great inspiration for me," she told The Times in 1991, four years after her last climb up Mt. Whitney, the tallest peak in the continental United States. "When I come down from the mountain, I feel like I can battle in the valley again." That year, she took a helicopter to the top of Mt. Whitney for a special ceremony--designation of the second peak to the south of Whitney as Crooks Peak. |
