Hi folks!
My group is hiking Whitney for the first time this year and we ended up with May 12th for our day use permit
Our plan is to drive in Friday night to pick up the permit from the night drop then drive to Whitney Portal to be at some elevation and sleep til 11pm, start the hike at midnight Saturday into Sunday. Looking for any tips or things we should know before we go. We will each have crampons and an ice axe for safety. Thank you!
