Hey Everyone,
So I'm new to hiking and this forum. I've been fishing in Lone Pine my whole life and always wanted to climb Mt. Whitney. I finally put in for the lottery, 22 dates, and was the lucky recipient of June 6th - 7th. A little earlier than I was hoping for but what are you going to do. I'm in decent shape, I think... I started ramping up the training this last weekend, I know a little late, at Icehouse Canyon. I didn't have to hard of a time getting up to Timber Peak. I'm going back this weekend and grabbing a different peak. Any suggestions for training in the next month is appreciated. I'm thinking about heading up to Olancha and doing Olancha Peak before the Whitney trip. Anyone know the current conditions?
