I'm just curious how many times people who post here have hiked or climbed to the summit of Mount Whitney.
I've only done the hike 5 times. Three times up the Mule Trail (Main Trail) from the Portal, once up the Mountaineer's Route, and once as I was heading out after camping at Guitar Lake; so I'm not a Whitney expert like some of the folks who post on the forum and give advice. I'm probably still considered a Whitney novice (I don't like the use of the slang term noob for someone without a lot of experience).
Anyway, what's your number of successful Whitney hikes/climbs and why do you keep going back?
