This thread is a good idea.
I would not advise doing Whitney without training.
I'm a fairly healthy and active guy and this mountain kicked
my newbie butt because I ignored my time to train on the local
Georgonio trails.


Do not ignore training for this mountain.
It is the real deal and you do need to train for it!
If you can't walk 21 miles on flat ground, chances are you can't walk the 21 mile round trip on Mt Whitney.

I think I made 14 of 21 miles.
