Hi Rod
I have thought about you several times and wondered how you are. It was great to see a post by you on the WZ finally.
My suggestion for you regarding summiting Mt. Whitney is to try to get a multiple day permit. Each day set a goal like day 1 is Lone Pine Lake.....Day 2 is Outpost camp....Day 3 rest at Outpost camp...Day 4 Trail camp....Day 5 rest at Trail camp ...Day 6 try to reach the summit and back to Trail camp.....Day 7 hike back to the Whitney Portal Store for a burger and fries and an ice cold beer.
Sounds like a heavenly trip to me.
I hope to see more posts from you.
