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.
Congratulations on your summit. Regarding your comment, it could be that the people had negative experiences in the past with friends. If you read the bottom paragraph in the
Orientation Notes feature topic my first two attempts involved people who pushed themselves too far on their first (and presumably last) attempt. Don't take the comments personally.
