You didn't metion anything in your TR about altitude issues - other than slowing a little once you were above 12K', which is natural, I assume you avoided them?
No significant altitude issues; I did need to slow down, and I had a very mild headache briefly while descending from the summit to trail crest, but it was barely noticeable and I popped a couple ibuprofen gel caps, drank a little water and forgot about it! I can't say I enjoyed hiking at altitude, I had just a vague feeling that I didn't particularly like exerting myself in the thin air, but luckily I did not have problems. My plan was to hike an easy 13'er in Boulder the week before, but didn't because of snow on the trail, so going into the Whitney hike altitude was still an unknown.
