I currently have an extra overnight permit starting August 8. Planning to camp some where around Consultation Lake, Trail Camp, or as low as Outpost Camp for 2 nights. Looking to get to summit for sunrise on August 9, my birthday, a big 0. This is my first and likely once in a lifetime summit of Whitney. Landing in Vegas on 8/5, driving to Lone Pine for 8/6 permit pickup, then up to Whitney Portal to scope it all out. Doing an acclimation hike to Lone Pine Lake early morning on 8/7. Also planning an early morning start on 8/8 to try to beat some heat, find camp, watch the sunset. Looking at very early start on 8/9, time will depend on camp location. Sunrise is at 607, twilight at 540, goal to be at summit by twilight. Spend another night at camp on 8/9 and head down to the portal on 8/10. If weather doesn't cooperate for 8/9 summit, will spend another night and attempt summit on 8/10. Looking for a like minded, experienced hiker, that is prepared for this hike.
