Hi Hobbes/Steve,
I'm nearing the trip and getting really excited! I've read so many articles about the importance of conditioning for Whitney that it's got be a bit uneasy - but I'm going for it!
As far as a schedule - I still need some help
My friend and I plan on driving up from LA Friday night - do you think we should leave right after work? Or leave LA later so that we arrive at Whitney Portal around 8am? I'm thinking we'd like to hit the trailhead between 8am and 12pm (Saturday) (time TBD).
We plan to make it to Trail Camp on the first day. What time do you recommend we leave to summit the next morning (Sunday)? I hear some people leaving before the sun rises. What do you recommend?
Last question (sorry!) - is it possible to depart trail camp (Sunday), summit, and return to LA Sunday night?
Thank you again so much!!! Can't wait to report back. I hope the weather is good!
E
