We slept at the Brst Western in Lone Pine. Probably had about 5 hours of sleep before waking up at 1:45 am. Gear was ready and we made it to the portal and got a start at 2:30 am. Would recommend early start as we were at the summit at 8:45 and back down to the portal at 2:30 pm. Don’t want to take chances with pm thunderstorms.
