Just so you know, there is an additional well known trail for Mt Whitney called "The Mountaineer's route" It is 7mi and class 3 instead of 11mi hike, and significantly more challenging! There are also several lesser known mountaineering routs of various difficulty.
Very nice, I'll have to check it out. We don't want to die, but we don't want a stroll by the lake, either!
@AKsilvereagle.. Thank you for the info
To all, thank you for the info and concerns. I was hesitant to ask anything, expecting "You'all shoot your eye out' blasting ;) But all the posts have been helpful and appreciated, thanks!
Keep any info coming, and feel free to share experiences. I really like these kind of challenges :B
