Day hiked to Mount Whitney via the mountaineer's route with Sooz, Kathy, John and Jay. We then descended on the main trail. This was my third time on Mount Whitney, first time using the mountaineer's route.
Joe (me), John, Sooz, Kathy and Jay at the trailhead at 8,300' for the early morning start.
We left the main trail here at the North Fork of Lone Pine Creek.

It was just getting light as we hiked on the edges.
