Things we didn't like about our Whitney hike experience:-
The negativity of some hikers at the trailhead who told us that we likely wouldn't make the summit - we are uncertain whether this was because we were women, or whether this was because of the general pessimism of some people!
MY rule #1
never talk to people at the trailhead:
a)I am as prepared as I am going to be at that point
b)Potential for negative vibes to be avoided
c)No, I
don't have any extra anything to 'borrow'
