Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Snowshoe/Possible summit next weekend

I am wondering if anyone else is going to be on the trail next weekend, so we may join up. Otherwise I will be going solo and will not go any further than TC, conditions and safety permitting. Anyone out there, let me know. Thanks.

Regarding your outing next weekend; I have planned a Thursday, Feb 7 start

Awesome Chad, thanks. I won't be starting until Saturday though. Are you going solo as well?

yes, solo, slow and steady.....

hoping to get out of town and make my way that way this weekend, if all goes as planned i'll be at the trailhead thursday night, if the world is how it usually is all be there friday night.

Well then, Steve and Grdiagin, looks like maybe potluck Saturday night. I'll bring the Ramen and hot tea.....

Very good. Thank you guys for responding. Hopefully the weather will keep pace with our plans!

Looks like I may be joining you guys as well. par-tay!

Cool mtneergirl, hope to see you there!

this weekend, i'm going to be camping at the trailhead thursday night, and leaving from there friday morning when the sun decides to get up. from that point on my plans will change depending on conditions, but that's my hope. if you see a green camouflaged tent, and it is set up. holler and i'll make anyone who wants a cup a cup of hot coacoa.

Wow, were getting more people all the time now. Grediagin, you will probably see Chad up there first since I believe he is going the same day as you. I will be starting on the trail on Saturday, so hopefully I might catch up to you guys if I can go at a decent pace.

I'm starting out on Friday morning, taking it nice and easy; I'm hoping to make it to Outpost Camp Friday night and then have a mellow day hiking to Trail Camp on Saturday, possible summit Sunday, head down Monday.
