[pct-l] Double Whitney JMT- Whitney

[calliger at infolane.com (RJC)]

Trip 1:

After a foot re-injury prevented completion of the JMT this
year and a few weeks of recovery,  we successfully summitted
Whitney yesterday 8-21-03 at 11:33 AM
on a 4 day excursion to the Whitney region. I ran the last
1 mile up the ridge after having become pretty acclimated
at trail camp the previous day and a half. My foot was in
pretty good condition but the trail was pretty easy on
it being a fairly "clean" trail most of the way up.

The weather was PERFECT! Hi's in the 70's and 28 F low at 12000'
at night made for great sleeping and snuggling weather!

I missed it so much I went back and got another permit...so lucky!!
and did it again, summiting 10-11-03 at Noon.

weather perfect again, low 25 this time.\
