Winter access on Mount Whitney

A forum to exchange information and ideas on ways to improve acccess to the Portal area and thereabouts.

I would like to open this forum that will focus on the hike from a stronger, long endurance, and different viewing framework , as I grew I watched my mom work endless hours, Earlene works all summer long 12-14 hour days ,I now watch Becky take care of our Grandson the sameway carry him for hours at times and never tyre. I am convinced over the years women have a different approach to summiting Whitney and with your input can share "that special knowledge"for other women to consider. Thanks Doug
