Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion What permit is needed to do a 2-day on Mountaineers Rte?

Thanks for the great info, Steve. As for your idea of some of the group going up a day earlier, are those people allowed to spend two nights on the mountain with the overnight permit? Are these people allowed to come off the mountain and hike back in the next day or is the overnight permit only good as long as you stay on the mountain?
