We are hiking Mt. Whitney on Aug.1. Original Plan was to summit via the Mountaineers Route. However, upon further study. My Cali buddy misread the permit. We have an overnight Whitney Trail permit. My question is this: Can we access the wilderness via the Whitney Trail, climb Thor Peak, descend to Iceberg Lake and continue to the summit on the Mountaineers Route? Does the permit encompass that plan. Or, is it strictly Mount Whitney Trail ONLY?
Thank you
Aaron
