As you see, two trips to Whitney, and still I have'nt had the pleasure of going up and down the switchbacks.
Pappy, I don't think I've ever heard it described quite that way . . .
Dude, you're just a half-dozen miles away from me here in the ATL (I'm in NE Cobb). I'm wondering what type of training regimen you use to get your legs ready for the Sierra. In the six weeks before Whitney last year I put in about 250 miles on sections of the AT, BM and even Kennesaw Mountain, but it still took about three days after arriving in Lone Pine and warming up in the Cottonwood area for my legs to function semi-normally. Certainly some of that was the elevation and acclimatization, but I'm curious what you do since you face the same local training limitations I do.
