Not sure why two replies listed mileage from OV to Whitney Summit. That is not the end of the trip. Whitney Portal is the end if going out the east side. Add 11 miles to the 37 or 39 and you get the full mileage.
Mileage is only one crude estimate of the trip. State of acclimatization, altitude, terrain and weather all factor in. An “average” backpacker group takes 5 nights.
