Hi all, I have a couple of questions and I apologize if these have been answered already, but I couldn't find anything using the search function.

1. As I understand it, there are 10 exit permits available for "walk-ins" each day. I would like to enter at Cottonwood and then exit on the main trail a few days later. If I am able to get a walk-in entry permit for Cottonwood, am I (theoretically) able to get one of those exit permits, even if it is 4 days later?

2. Alternatively, if I am unable to get an exit permit, but I am able to get a Cottonwood entry permit, is it acceptable to summit Whitney via the backside, but then return to Cottonwood, without breaking any rules?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Jason

1. Exit Permits...I've never exited on the date of my exit permit for whatever reason. I've been off by 3 or 4 days. I would take one that is within reasonable shouting distance from the day you plan to exit. This is about the stupidest of all the stupid rules they have made for this trail.

2. Horseshoe to Horseshoe RT...Yeah, you are legal.
