I will add there are at least 4 spots on the switchbacks where the trail is partially or completely obliterated. I had to hang onto the side rocks to step over 2-3 foot missing trail sections.
Depending on your risk tolerance, you may or may not even notice these missing sections 🙃
Very nice. Great job. You could probably see a long ways from up there.
Thank you 🙏 Yes, the views all around were fantastic!
wow we were the campsite next to you where you mentioned people just getting there that afternoon

your tent is at the 4:36 timestamp I believe
Awesome! Were you guys able to summit?
@@trailcairn1717 yeah we summited the next morning. it looked like it was going to storm but luckily it passed
Woo! Way to go, look forward to the video.
Thank you 😊 I ♥️ Mt. Whitney
@@trailcairn1717well deserved congratulations on that summit after last years difficulties. This side from main trail is more scenic anyway I think. Great strategy staying at Trail camp with water nearby and rest before and after summit day 👍 Looks like that worked out.
Thank you, it was a wonderful trip.
Did you take Diamox before hand?
No. I acclimated 4 nights at Horseshoe Meadow, Cottonwood Lakes, and Cottonwood Pass, which is 10,000 - 11,000 feet elevation. I also overnighted at Trail Camp 12,000 feet before hiking to Whitney summit. I had no altitude sickness.
Trail running shoes or hiking boots for the Mt Whitney?
Topo Athletic ultraventure 3 Trail Runners. My feet got wet crossing 3 streams, but they dried within 1 hour. Very comfortable, no blisters.
They also double as 'camp shoes' by removing insoles.
