Hi,
I was very lucky on my first Whitney hike and had beautiful weather just two days before your attempt. I have 10X more respect for you and your daughter for placing safety first and getting down as opposed to reaching the top.
I had "friends of friends" that turned away less than a half mile from the top, probably the same day as your trip. Takes a lot more courage to do the right thing and turn around when it becomes dangerous as opposed to placing yourself at risk by going to the top.
Great job!
