Hiking Whitney the 11th.
I have 3 day permit for two people but my buddy flaked out.
I got crampons and the ice ax but I've never used them.
Have lots of my own backpacking gear and plan to take it slow.
Will gladly turn around if conditions exceed my newb snow climbing abilities, but I have been backpacking high sierras on and off for 15 years during summer conditions so I do have some high altitude experience. I'm 30y/o and very fit and ready to give this a shot.
Will bring back pictures. Anyone want to go with me or take my second spot? I guess I'm trying to go up alone first time.
Reading up all the info I can. I think I might be well prepared! I'll be showing up in town on the 10th for my permits and wagbags and I guess going up to the portal and trying to acclimate some the first night.
Thanks for the great website!
