Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion whitney day hike food?

I stayed at the WP camp for 36 hours prior to my departure.

I had no headache or nausea. I took 125mg Diamox twice a day for 2 days prior and the morning of.

The only noticeable effect of the altitude was the reduced appetite.

As I said in my earlier post, I'm a first time hiker (anywhere) and I am proud of my 15 hour round trip achievement. The only thing I would change is to bring more GU and savory foods and less really dry stuff.

fyi: I'm 57yo, 192#, 6'2"
