Did this in july! I got up in 7:45hrs and down in 5:00hrs but man it was rough. When we were on the summit, lightning struck in the clouds above us and a hail storm moved in too. We had to get down quickly and the rain and snow patches made things more slippery. I recommend not ignoring the forecast! I wanted to start earlier but the group decided on 3:30am. We were the last to summit because of the storm!
Same happened yesterday. But I didn't plan to go up the the summit. Only to outpost camp to get a feel. Luckily when I was already down at camp the thunder showed up. All I caught was some rain on my way up and down. Incredible views and really challenging steep hike !
Awesome trip man, I can't wait to hike Whitney myself. The crispness of the air that you can hear through the audio is just so refreshing, nothing beats being out in the mountains!
i know Im asking randomly but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
I enjoyed this video very much. Nice. Myself, I have been up four times, under different circumstances, reasons, each time. One was in a day, before anybody seemed to care how fast you went...we sure did not. If we had, woulda stepped on the gas pedal! But, did do it all in eleven hours, actually seemed casual, back then...just tried to beat the sun in late October. Miss it. Am 61 now, nice to reflect...Nice Video!
Really enjoyed the video as well. I’m somewhat older than you. Overcame a few health issues a while back and I’m now slowly beginning the conditioning it takes to enjoy my backyard in the incredible Sierras. I’ve missed it terribly. Would love to try one more time even if I don’t make all the way to the shack.
great video! especially liking the sun line at trail camp./.. and wow, taking all the gear up then deciding to pull it off in one day, well done! 16+ minutes of awesome video thanks for taking us with you
Sheety33 excellent video of your climb up Whitney. My wife and I visit Lone Pine and have driven when part way the Mt Whitney Portal and have imagined what it must look like up at the top, but your video gave us a clear view. Watching video we were afraid that you might fall off the edge if you weren't paying attention to the trail while video. Thank you for sharing!!
Hi, you know I was this video just a couple weeks ago. I summited Mt. Whitney on 9.21.18 up and down same day. The hardest was along the Crest. That 1.9 miles is the longest hardest part of the trail. Had to boulder scramble most of the way not much established trail now? It was one day prior to full moon, so the night hiking was great. The morning sunrise shining on whitney was great also. Good video.
The western side was spooky for me. Coming back from the summit tired and legs aching I kept praying I wouldn't trip going back up to the crest and falling down the cliff.
@@DMalltheway Hey Daniel. There were so few people, I'm sure we saw each other. It was a great day up there. Was hoping to go back this year but they closed it in October due to smoke. See you on the trails!
Good for you. It took me 18 hours and I DON'T want to go back. I went up the Mountaineer's Route the first time and slept at the top in the hut (before the Smithsonian closed it). Now I'm just going as far as the store at the Portal and buy my hero tee. PS, looks like he didn't take his wife on this hike
Thank You for posting this ====also have climbed this beautiful mountain and wildernes in one day----should have stayed there for rest of my life---Into The Wildernesssss
Just bagged my permits for the end of September. This a bucket list hike for me. Most nervous for Trail Crest and the section right after, wobbly legs begone!
Just did it in 13 hours and 15 minutes myself with no hiking experience but fairly good shape. Hardest thing ive ever done hands down. We didnt preserve energy well and made it up there in 6 and a half hours. The hike down was almost harder than the way up. Dont get cocky like us, folks! preserve energy for the hike down. im by no means experienced, aand a bit drunk but feel free to ask away to a absolute beginner
Awesome hike. Thanks for sharing. Looks pretty cold! I’ve been up four times, always as a day hike, always in August or early September, but the last couple of times the number of people on the trail & at the top was insane! I think we passed over 100 people on the last one. Funny as hell when passing Trail Camp were the fat, very aggressive marmots getting into people’s stuff. 👍🏻😊🙄🤣
I did the trail in 2000 in one day, up from Whitney Portal and back down to Whitney Portal. Why I decided on doing the hike in one day is anyone's guess but if you're under a time restraint, that's the best reason, unless you just want to prove that you can do the hike in one day. Looking back, I did the one-day hike in 13 hours but I paid a price. The price was not taking the time to fully enjoy the beauty of the surrounding wilderness! If I had to do it over again, I would hike to Trail Camp, set up camp, top Whitney then come down to Trail Camp for the night. That way I would have time to enjoy the trip more. Or, spend the first night at Trail Camp, summit then spend another night in Trail Camp. Folks, having enough time to enjoy where you are is key. Have fun and look what God has made!
Want to climb it again but at 64 my equilibrium isn't what it used to be. Climbed it back in 1977 we almost turned back when we got to the cables that's one scary drop off.
Looking to do this the first week of November weather permitting. Looks like you didnt need crampons. Any other suggestions for packing? Would only have the day. Did Camelback in the middle of the day in middle of the summer, so I am bit crazy, but also feel like I can do it if I am prepared.
@sheety33 what time of the year did you hike Whitney? I apologize if I missed if you mentioned it in the video. I'm in the planning phase of doing the JMT next year, so I'm looking to get as much information on the weather as possible. Thank you!
Thanks for putting this up. This gave a great sense of the challenge as well as the beauty of the trail. What kind of camera did you use to capture this?
Hiking by moonlight is awesome. You don't need a flashlight, and the granite walls glow from the reflected moonlight (sunlight reflected off the moon, for the flat-earthers out there).
You should change your name to Zoomie33. Aside from zooming in on everything and needing a second or two to refocus before zooming out again this was terrific record of a snow free ascent to Whitney. Seriously, the views were awesome and didn't need to be augmented every 5 seconds with a close up.
wow beautiful videos I’ve watched a few on your channel and you’ve won a subscriber! Plus your voice is gorgeous just want to make love to it!!! Would be your hiking partner anytime! 🙋♂️😉 What camera do you use? Cheers and please don’t stop creating these videos!!
It’d be a good challenge but compared to all the east hikes in glacier national park’s (they’re long at 10 miles average) but the views are amazing with wild flowers, waterfalls and pine trees everywhere we turn. Whitney is fame for its elevation and its challenging steepness but the lower oxygen levels and lack of plants kept me from trying to hike it all these years…maybe sometime in the near future. Now I’m eyeing cascade, or mount rainier this summer 😍

You killed it bro.
You are a machine. Up and back in 13 hours. WOW!
Mt. Whitney summit: where the air is thin, but the marmots are not. 🐻 Great video!
Why the 5 dislikes?. Be thankful, He did all the tough hike so he can share you the epic view.
Lol that trail is nothing though. I’ve hiked similar trails 60miles round trip🤷🏻♂️
@@MrGreen-qr5pe "Similar"...pfft! Did you shoot narrated video to share? pff!... get over yourself.🤨
they might have thought it to be a Sheety video? I dunno.
Wdym I can’t see any dislikes
Great video! I love how you gave the times and also did the way back down! Thank you!
Really great journey. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Stunning and also terrifying. Simply great. Thank you
Great video. The video was so well done I almost feel like you crossed that hike off my buck list for me! Lol 🤙
Video of a late October hike. I sure hope I get this kind of weather when I head up on 10/24. Thanks for the video.
Jeff Gerbracht I did it the same day as you
@@DMalltheway Hey Daniel. There were so few people, I'm sure we saw each other. It was a great day up there. Was hoping to go back this year but they closed it in October due to smoke. See you on the trails!
@@jeffgerbracht4186 Darn, I looked on my photos and I did it on 10/23
@@DMalltheway Thanks for checking Daniel. Have a great one.
beautiful footage. I did a day hike to Mt. Whitney in October 2017 and it was so memorable. Watching this, I want to get back

awesome video!
I just did this in one day a couple of weeks ago, insanely beautiful views!!!
INSANE!!!
Badass man. I hope to go in 2021.
Wishing you luck for your 2021 trip.
Hello. Great video! 🌤🌤🌤
Wow! You made amazing time!! Incredible. It took me about 12 hours to get to the top. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! We hit it on Sept. 15th last year and round tripped it. Planning 2018 again!
Well done!
Thank you!

My now deceased brother had a term for such "down part of hikes", he called it, THE DAMNED DESCENT! ...Kicks your knees and stuff into hell....
erik bundersen my brother made it down in 5 hours and it felt LONGGGG
What gear did you take
Completely agree!! I’ve done 7 marathons and this by far was the hardest thing I have ever done.
@@elisscaliving5864 way too much food, first of all. We did it in our running shoes.
Those morning views are stunning
I've done a few 14ners. I hope I can get a permit to hike this one day. Cheers!
Nice vid, thanks!
Im becoming addicted to hiking. Did Tujunga trail this past weekend. Hate going solo tho
Good times ahead......
amazing, thanks for sharing

Nice job, thanks...
Nice video .amigo
was not negative -2F on the 20th..-2C maybe There's a record of the temps online
Yeah, those little lakes would of been fairly frozen, at least around the shore.
Want to climb it again but at 64 my equilibrium isn't what it used to be. Climbed it back in 1977 we almost turned back when we got to the cables that's one scary drop off.
I hope your able to get back up there 🤠
Thank you bhai sharing;)
I love Whitney
Nice
Awesome

nice video, I go In October 2018 Hopefully the weather will be as nice
How was it?

It just ended. Did a bear get him?

Rohan Fernandes Happy you enjoyed it! Filmed with a Canon T4i.
How was your pace? I'm planning on doing it this year
I believe I was at 2.5 mph
@@Sheety33 thank you, I got a buddy who I'm training to lose weight and started him on easy hikes, I'll let him lead the pace because i go too fast
Did you do it alone ?
Yes, but passed several people.
Very good narration. Your videos are very good. To the point. I love them. Keep them coming.
@@S172142230149 thank you!
Hello, did you have to reserve the camping spot?
All campsites at Whitney Portal have to be reserved in advance.
I want to mountain bike this.
you've done it in October? what day?
amazing, you reached the top of continental US
*contiguous - thank you!🤠
@@Sheety33 right, that word ^^
what month did you do this in?
Nice video btw! 👍
How were your feet after the long day they had?......and what type of footwear did you use?
daffy duck pretty good! I wore a hiking boot (well fitted) and wool socks. No issues.
Don't wear rented hiking boots that don't fit well like my hiking partner did. He had to stop about one mile from the summit because of blisters.
Hiking by moonlight is awesome. You don't need a flashlight, and the granite walls glow from the reflected moonlight (sunlight reflected off the moon, for the flat-earthers out there).
Archimedes fudged his data, the earth is flat. There is a pillow guy who has real calculations.
Do you need a permit for this hike?
Yes you do!
You should change your name to Zoomie33. Aside from zooming in on everything and needing a second or two to refocus before zooming out again this was terrific record of a snow free ascent to Whitney. Seriously, the views were awesome and didn't need to be augmented every 5 seconds with a close up.
in Spring it isn't all green bub. It is white
mount whitney 14,495.811 feet above sea level.

Next time show your pack and gear also food and drink.

Thanks for sharing but your worst video, too quick on your camera work. You did great to do this in one day.
