Hello,

Me and my buddy got permits for the overnight hike starting on Aug 1st.

It's our first time at Whitney and not entirely sure what to expect in terms of weather at that time of the year and what to wear.

This is what I have in mind for layering

1. Moisture wicking baselayer
2. Cotton shirt
3. Columbia Omni heat vest or puffy jacket
4. North Face water-resistant wind-breaker.

Is that sufficient or should I packing something else?

Would I need to pack any water-proof goretex jackets and pants?

Would appreciate any advice.

Thanks.

Avi
