Patrick (Lilbitmo) and I dayhiked Mt. Whitney and several needles & pinnacles last Friday (April 27th). We went up the Main Trail and down the Mountaineers Route. Here are some photos....
We stayed the night at the campground Friday night the 26th and hiked on the 27th (not that it matters but we introduced ourselves to some nice people and if they are trying to match up the date to who we are don't want them to be confused).
Also note that if the SAR guy from New Mexico (Chris with friend Bryan I believe is reading this that I met the previous week the 20th) I'm Patrick that you met at Iceberg Lake and we chatted all the way up the chute to just below the last 400 when your friend became ill from altitude sickness and you headed out.
Let me know the next time you are coming to So. Cal or headed out to the Sierra's we can go do something fun or if you need to carpool or whatever, let me know.
Great fun was had on both trips, dry dry year, pray for more snow
