Whittaker made a name for himself through crack climbing, including the first ascent of the world's hardest wide-width climb, Century Crack. In 2011, Whittaker and Randall traveled to the United States, where he was the first to show Belly Full of Bad Berries (5.13b), a popular over-wide at Indian Creek. Continuing on the journey, Whittaker and Randall made the first ascent of Century Crack (5.14b), the toughest off-wide ascent in the world. After initially sending the route with the previously placed equipment, the two of them repeated the climb while placing their own equipment. In 2014, Whittaker became the first to flash Freerider (5.12d) on El Capitan. In 2016, Whittaker completed Freerider's first solo free climb in one day. After exhibiting the classic Freerider (5.12d or 7c) in 2014 on El Capitan in Yosemite, in 2016 he became the first to climb El Cap solo and free in less than 24 hours. Then, in 2018, still solo, he climbed Capitan and Half Dome in a single day.
