Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Mt Whitney Overnight Group Hike advice

So, we'll be at Trail Camp two nights. Friday and Saturday night.

Any handy tips for orienting and placement of our tents to help stem potential high winds? Are there locations better than others to pitch a tent at Trail Camp?

Do winds typically blow a certain direction? I'd like to setup the entrance to my tent opposite the direction of the wind. I'll know direction when the wind is blowing but when things are calm this will be good to know.

Are there pre-built wind (rock) shelters?

I havent anchored down my tent with rocks before. Are stakes useless/useful up there?

Just want to be as prepared as possible. Any information is good information.

Thanks...

Ron
