Ken, I like your above-response to ejsurfs, I felt your compassion.
ejsurfs,
I and my friends are hiking Mt.Whitney in September, specifically September 17th. Last season we hiked at the same time and found NO mosquitos, lots of water to filter, and very comfortable temperatures during the day and night. If anyone backs out of our group, I'll let you know so you can join us.
You may want to talk to your friend about hiking Mt. Whitney in September when the conditions should be awesome.
Keep the Whitney Zone posted on what you decide. Check the hiking calendar thread Steve C. posted near the beginning of the Discussion Forum so you can see when other Whitney Zone members are hiking and possibly some WZ members you've been chatting have their Whitney dates posted on the calendar. You'll see my trip posted there.
Happy Trails To You,
Lynn-a-Roo
