Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Mountaineers route May 21

Hello everyone! I have an overnight use permit with an entry date of May 20 and plan to hike up to Iceberg lake, camp there for the night and summit using the Mountaineers route on the 21st. Most of my group will be summiting via Trailcrest so I'm interested in meeting up with others doing the Mountaineers.


Thanks!

Is your permit for the Main Trail or the North Fork Lone Pine Creek (Mountaineers Route)?

The Mountaineers Route overnight requires a different permit than the Main Trail. And if you go up the MR and down the MT (overnight) you would need a Trail Crest exit permit.

Maybe someone else can confirm this.
