I tackled Mt Elbert back in June of last year. It was really amazing. I wanted to find out more about Whitney and found this community. Lot's of good information I see smile What was funny about Elbert is once I got to the semi-top I sat there for awhile, enjoyed the view and whipped out my Kindle. Believe it or not, I actually had service at like 13,500 feat hah, so I started reading an emotobook. Only took like 40 minutes then I descended back down. Was a great trip! Does anyone know if you can get service on Whitney? Anyone ever tried?
