Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Altitude Acclimatization takes too damn long!

I've been out there twice and Diamox both times. first night was spent at about 9K and the second one I went over 11k before going lower to camp. Luckily both time I had no real issues except a slight headache the second day. Both time I had 5 days or more up there prior to going over Trail Crest. In 16 I came in via Onion Valley and did Forrester the 3rd day. This year the entry was Piute Pass and Muir, Mather, Pinchott, Glenn, and Forrester were climbed prior to Whitney. So I had plenty of time up high prior to summit day.
