My Whitney Summit

Summited Mt. Whitney with 3 friends back in early June.
15.5 mile round trip with lots of food, crampons and an ice axe. What a beautiful adventure!

Highly recommend!

Day hike? - beast mode!! What did you eat on trail to keep energy up?

You know it!

I brought 5 cliff bars, 6 tortillas rolled with PB & J and a bunch of squeezable calories from REI.

About ~4,500 calories all together
