Elder Mackin I came across this and was reminded of all my wonderful memories of you. Miss you Bro.

Wow these conditions are insane!!!!!

This is some of the most beautiful and I must say, outrageous, views of Whitney I have ever seen sir.

Amazing 💪🏼 I have permits for day hike on may 10! Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated

72T I love that bird

your daughter very beautiful 💕💕💕

I could see it out my front windows

What a wonderful video....thx so much for sharing your adventure with us...how great to have great kids to take hiking !!

And to think, Mt Everest is literally twice as high as that.

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

I fell off the summit and plummeted 3000ft below into a granite cliff. I thought I made it through okay until I found out that Heaven apparently has free internet access for the recently deceased. (sigh).

We got a lot of rain this year here in SoCal, which means massive amounts of snow in the Sierras, if you are doing this in March of 2019 it sounds like you better have snow shoes.

Patience pays off! Congratulations. Looks like you're running xcsoar on your main display - can you tell me what kind of panel it is? Maybe an Ultimate from Craggy Aero? Whatever it is looks very nice and readable.

I hiked it with my dad (I'm his daugher) in 1981 and again in 1990. And we're from OC as well. Didn't do it in May...we waited until August for both trips (not much snow of course.)

Gosh, what a great tutorial on how to maximize a day. Can't believe I hadn't run across this earlier. Thanks so much for the effort 33, I took some lessons on how to get from Cal City (I guess Tehachapi now) to Whitney, hopefully I can put it to use someday. Cheers.

What a great dad! Thanks for sharing.

Great video! What a great thing to do as a team...and to have the memories.

Have seen many RUclips uploads of this trip but by far your video tops them all. I know it is not a smart trip to do this alone but I can't find anyone to do this trip with in my circle of friends. This video was very detail oriented and inspiring. I wish my daughters can join me on this trip (planning for 2018) as your daughter did... What a great way to spend quality, quality time with your daughter. thank you very much for your video. I too wondered what camera setup you were using for this video and the pole that held up your camera for this video. I'd appreciated if you can reveal that part of the gear with us.

Great video, very interesting, but unless one really loves snow and cold, I can't imagine why anyone wants to do such a strenuous hike in winter conditions except for the extra challenge. I grew up in snow country and had my fill. I love green and warm sun, so the best time for me to hike Whitney is late summer/Sept. but even then I have been caught in a sudden blizzard. I like to see it all in one day up and back - a hot shower, steak dinner, and jacuzzi afterward.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful story and awesome ending.

Awesome! Great video and props to dad and Lauren! Very inspiring.....thanks for sharing!

This was an excellent post that really helped understanding conditions. Thanks for posting. Also what a trip to have shared with your daughter. Well done.

Such an awesome video. So much detail!

I loved the throwback at the end, had me smiling from ear to ear

thanks for demystifying this mountain 👍

Spectacular. Saw your post on the portal msg board and had to check this out. So Amazing to see Whitney in all that snow. What a crazy hike that was thanks so much for showing us all the detail of how difficult and beautiful it was. Super Sharp video

my son and I went up on the 21st and 22nd, awesome weather 5 mph breeze and blue skys, just totally surreal. congrats to you and your daughter

Wow- the quality of this camera is really fantastic. Usually we have to use DSLRs just to get that level of clarity. Was this with a gopro? Looks like a great trip! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome video! Congratulations to you and your daughter! This video is extremely helpful for my upcoming trip. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Nice video! Thanks!

Great video and trip report on the Whitney Message Board. Much appreciated. Will be up there next week.

I can not believe I forgot to say "Congratulations"! 10%er my man! That's a solid accomplishment well worth noting brother!

Thank you very much for the insight on the Whitney Portal Message Board. Great insight Sir. We are trekking thru Onion Valley to Whitney June 8th. We appreciate you!

Watched your videos Loved them! I'm coming down for a visit with my bird. Probably will take me more than 2 days from Canada. Lol

Fantastic footage! Did you get any damage from that hail you flew through? Sounded like you were getting pummeled pretty good there for a while.

Great report and Nice Flight!!

Yes I am using the Ultimate and I am running XCSoar. The ultimate is fantastic. It is 110% visible at all times in the sun. XCSoar runs perfectly on it. I have used WinPilot and SeeYou. I have been using XCSoar this year and find it outstanding.

What LCD panel are you running? It looks like an Ultimate LE but appears to be running XCSoar, which I don't think is supported. Screen visibility seems superb.

Smile, dammit! You're having fun up there ;-) Pretty cool.
