I'm leaving tomorrow morning to drive up to Lake Tahoe. I'm going to hike to about 10,500ft elevation on Mt. Rose and set up camp on the 1st. I am going to get aclimatized and used to the high elevation then on the 7th I am driving down to Mt Whitney and climb it on the 8th and 9th, spending the night about 7/11 miles up the mountain.
Has anyone hiked Mt Whitney? Anyone ever been there?
im doing the jmt [solo] in august
ill be sure to look for your entry in the summit log
are you going up te main trail or mountaineers route

have you checked snow/ice conditions
and looked at the weather forecast

I have been dreaming of Mt Whitney for a long time..
I hope to get my ass up there by next year..

I am taking the hiking trail as my mom is coming. I would prefer to do the mountineering route but my mom would be a little clumbsy with crampons and an ice axe. Luckily the snow and ice will be melted by the 8th. The snow/ice melted fast this year so the trail isn't going to tough. Basically follow the path and hike.
I want to do the JMT sometime in my life. I hiked into King's Canyon and summited Mt Goddard and Scylla. Beautiful area.
Good luck on your climb, it's not for me personally, I prefer to get high without leaving the ground. :jointsmile:
