We just finished an almost 50 mile backpacking trip from Horseshoe Meadows, up through Miter Basin and back through Cotton wood Meadows with summits of Whitney (8/7) and Langley (8/8) on back to back days with a group of 12- 16 year old scouts. It was a great but grueling trip. Only 1 in our group had summitted Whitney before and none of us had been on this route but we had been planning and studying it since last October. We were blessed with extremely great weather after watching all of the thunderstorms the week before and snow on both peaks last Monday.
It seems to me from what I have read online that this would be a fairly unique feat. I'd like to convey this to the boys to help them understand what they were able to accomplish. I thought I would reach out to this forum to get some thoughts from the experts.
I greatly appreciate all of the information provided on this forum as it proved extremely valuable in making the trip a success. Thanks!!
