Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Measured elevation gain/mileage MWT from the portal

I think it's around 6900 feet of ascent (up and down). There is around 300 feet of additional ascent from just before Trail Crest to the summit. So that x2 plus a 30-40 ft. ascent leaving Outpost and a few little humps and you can get close to 7000 feet. But my guess is 6900 feet.
