Hi Everyone,

Our plan is the exact same as Alex's, MR up and MT down, even on the same date. This is also our first Whitney attempt. So I just use this thread to ask my question instead of starting a new one.

My question is, how much water shall I bring? When hiking in Colorado, my water consumption is typically one litre every 5 miles and 1,500' gain. For example, two litres for a ten mile, 3k feet gain round trip. I should be able to pump water at one of those lakes along the MR, right? My plan is to take 2 litres and the filter with me, refill at UBSL, summit, and then refill again at switchback #23. Does it sound reasonable or too risky?

Thanks,
Frank
