Hello all, i just would like some advice , on the possibility of doing a 2 day early November Mt Whitney ascent. I blew my trip from cottonwood pass to mt whitney, due to the fact i took Diamox prior to my departure, it caused dizzyness and other complications...AND i overloaded my pack. I want to get back , ASAP and get up there again. My thought is this: No required mt whitney lottery, and IF there is no substantial snow on the ground and....IF there are no storms brewing around November 3-5, i was planning on spending a night at the portal, then cimbing to trail camp on the next day, then summit and head back to the portal. Any thoughts on this....??? I have an ice axe, and microspikes in case i may need them, but no full crampons....any information on this would be great...Thanks.
