Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion HELP-Onion valley to Mt. Whitney portal, via Harrison Pass?

I did this route in a day 5 years ago at the tender age of 56. I clocked the route at about 43 miles with +- 10K elev gain...quite the day hike/run!! I only met 1 ranger that day as I ascended the trail up to Trail Crest...he asked me for a permit and, of course, I didn't have one. He asked where I had come from that day, smiled when I told him and told me to "get out of here" ha ha.
