Thats awesome. Do you have to do any prep for that? Holy Christ, I know when I'm in Colorado on one of the peaks (driving, lol) and get out I feel like I'm gonna fucking die.

Congratulations!
Thatās a big deal. It normally takes me 12-14hrs.
The 97 switchbacks take their toll on you.
But once your through that, itās cool because you know youāre getting close.
did you make back in time for a burger at the portal?

Do it!! Prepare prepare prepare. But do it.
lol
Thankfully made it out okay.
Thank you!
Do it!! Iāve been trying for a permit for years. So if your considering it. Start trying for a permit and start training.
Thank you!!
Thanks brotha!!
Thank you!!
I wish I was 30 pounds lighter and prepared a lot more.
I work out 5-6 times a week always pushing past the point I get tired. But I am a terrible runner and wish I did a lot more of that before hand.
Myself and a few in our group got terrible altitude sickness and fell way behind schedule. I was anticipating about a 17 hour day. We started at midnight and I didnāt finish till 1am the next day. I would have liked a burger. Haha
Do it dude.
Iām going to enjoy some good bourbon tonight.
Thanks! Yea, it was not ideal. After the brutality of the situation and extreme fatigue a few of us had some strange experiences. I was hallucinating as were a couple others.25 Hours straight....

How long did you think it would take? Did you guys consider sleeping out there before you left? And do you think taking Shrooms on a hike like that is a good idea? lol

I was thinking it would take 15-18ish hours. The plan was not to sleep or camp at elevation to get good quality rest beforehand. That subject is always good for much debate. I donāt have a strong opinion one way or the other besides just making sure you fuel and rest up before hand. And no shrooms needed.
I walked right past the āWelcome to Fabulous Las Vegasā neon sign while on the trail. Didnāt even think it was that weird at the time either.

You're a glutton for punishment. I've done Whitney a few times, but always as a one or two nighter at the trail camp lake. I understand it's difficult to get permits for overnight these days.I was thinking it would take 15-18ish hours. The plan was not to sleep or camp at elevation to get good quality rest beforehand.

Did someone stack some rocks.? I always remember the summit elevation as 14495. But I haven't been up there since like 1975.

It was noted about 9 or 10 years ago that Witney has grown and is now 14508.
Leaving at midnight what time did you summit? How were the temps?
