Actually, I was wondering about going over Langley. Horseshoe meadows > OAP > to Langley, then across the crest to Whitney.
Sounds like it's doable, if not particularly a well traveled trail. But those are sometimes the best.
Other option would be to go over OAP or NAP and down towards the JMT and then up the backside. More distance and decent/climbing, but which would be more stunning visually?
By the looks of the permits needed with a Whitney exit, I could wait for the final decision until closer to the trip since they both start and end in the same place.
Wouldn't do it in a day, that's for sure.
