What do y'all think of this as an idea for Mt. Whitney summiters? Is this a timely idea? We Yanks could certainly do a better job than these Scots...LOL.

If you come up with an idea and it's for charity, I'll be more than happy to help you and whatever crew you can muster lug whatever is required up to the summit. I've always wanted to sleep on the summit and take some dusk to dawn shots.

Anybody can sleep on the summit, if they can get their backpack up there. Fun experience ...as long as you are acclimated.

Hauling a bed to the top of "Bed Nevis" (note name at the end of the quote in the article wink  ) at 1344 meters is a whole lot easier than to the top of Mt Whitney.

A word to the wise if you plan on sleeping on the Whitney summit:

Those dug-out wind break "bunkers" also serve as human litter boxes; check very closely before you bed in.


The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.

Great idea. Except it should be a bathroom.


Wherever you go, there you are.
