Brilliant adventure... I'm envious of this experience with your Beckett! These are moments of a lifetime of memories. I decided to do some research.... from the All Trails app:
"This is an extremely difficult and dangerous mountaineering route to the summit of Mount Whitney. Only experienced climbers should attempt this route, and only under the right conditions.
Beware of loose/falling rock and ice on the final sections. Route finding skills and comfort with exposure are a must; getting off route on the steep/exposed sections can be risky.
