I'm looking for a summit partner for Whitney, and have an overnight permit on May 22nd. I'll be van camping 20-22nd at the trailhead, and will pick up our permit in the morning and make a push for summit camp by afternoon on the 22nd. After staying 1 night at summit camp, will push for summit on May 23rd with all necessary gear (helmet, ice axe/whippet, crampons/microspikes).
I'll also be heading to the Cottonwood lakes basin for some high alpine fly fishing, before linking up with my brother who is hiking the PCT. Planning to start JMT from cottonwood pass on May 29th, hope it's not too early in the season!
