Also, how much water did you carry from Iceberg lake back down to Trail Camp?


Shortcuts:
1. Whitney Old Trail at start.
2. All sorts of minor short cuts from LBSL to Iceberg. See my Strava.
3. Scramble up dry rocks at beginning of chute, avoiding virtually all of the snow
4. Final 400 instead of the walk off
5. Skipped the huge switchback coming off the top
6. Cut virtually all the lower switchbacks of the 97 switchbacks.
7. Whitney Old Trail to car.


I did the entire hike on 3L of water. Didn't filter or take any of the water along the way.
