Mt Whitney in one day_Aug 2000

With friend Don Close, climbed Mt Whitney in one day. Starting at 5:45 AM at Whitney Portal we ascended by the "Mountaineer's Route", direct but non-technical. The top few hundred feet is class 4 and exposed. Total elevation change about 6000ft. Descended by the trail, arriving to our car by flashlight around 10:30 PM.
