Hi Everyone!
I have lurked around the forums for the past week or so, and thought i would finally post some questions i had.
In the past year myself, and a group of friends have gotten into hiking, and go more or less every weekend here in southern California. Nothing too crazy, most notable thing we have done thus far has been Mt Baldy.
Anyways, I want to plan a trip next summer for Whitney, and had some questions i was wondering if i could get some help with?
1. What are opinions of doing the summit in 1 day vs 2?
2. What kind of physical shape should most people be in to attempt it?
3. Any suggestions on how to train for hiking up to the summit?
4. If i have 6-10 people wanting to do the hike, what do you think the best way is, planning way ahead of time, to secure Permits? It seems it can be a bear.
I think those are the main ones on my mind for now. Thank you everyone who replies!
