JohnDoe: It sounds like a great plan over all. Especially the simulation of the Himalayan style approach between Outpost and Trail Camp. But I have a question. Its hard to tell from your sequence: are you sure you understand the location of Horseshoe Meadows to the rest of the route? The "move" from Horseshoe involves a 20 or so mile drive from HM to Whitney Portal and a 3.5 mile climb to Outpost. (Outpost is at about the same elevation as HM). Similarly the "Descent to Horseshoe" from Trail Camp is a 6-mile descent to Whitney Portal and then the drive back to HM. And its a hard 6 miles: 4000 feet down.
If that's what you have in mind, my hat is off to both of you.
BTW, when you say 5 summits, I have to ask: which 5?
