Is anyone interested in doing Mt. Whitney with me? I am looking for some hiking friends to make sure I make it this year! I am tired of depending on big groups. I would prefer to do it on one day. My plan is to stay in Lone Pine for a few days to acclimate before the big climb. I am also open to camping overnight but prefer to stay in a hotel. You can choose where you would like to stay. If we get a nice group together that would be great! The dates I'm a looking at are as follow 8/27, 8/28, 8/29, 8/30, 8/31, 9/1, 9/2, 9/3, 9/4, 9/5
Please let me know. Lottery is open now till March 1st. Last year I got a permit for September 3rd. I would like to submit my choices by the end of this week.

Thanks!!!

Full moon is September 7, so I think one of the later dates on your list is better. All that light really helps with the section below Lone Pine Lake when hitting the trail between 3-4am.
