Mt. Whitney Class

We went to a Mt. Whitney class last week to learn what it will take to climb the highest peak in the contiguous US.  We learned of the different routes that can be taken to the top, where to camp, what gear is needed, what kind of training is needed, how to apply to for the lottery and how long it would take.  Permits are awarded via lottery so it's not a guarantee that you'll get a permit.  It's on my list of stuff to do so it was a good class to take. 

Mt. Whitney is located in the Sierra Nevada and boasts an elevation of 14, 505 feet.
