Congrats on three of you getting to the top. Earlier this year my wife, my 6 year old son and I got to the top as well and it was an amazing feeling. It is one of those things your daughter will be able to look back on for the rest of her life. I also agree with you about hard work = rewards lesson too. In my opinion getting kids out on the mountains early is the best thing you can do...a win win.
Although not so much on this board, but many other places we heard Whitney isn't the place for a child that young. Even at REI they Whitney guide was telling us he wouldn't make it and it isn't safe. BLAH BLAH BLAH I say. Your daughter made it, my son made it and they both have a great story to tell.
Congrats once again to your daughter and your family!!!
