By HikingOn | May 5, 2009
This is a video of me and a group of friends hiking up Mt. Whitney on July 1, 2006. We made it up and down the Mt. Whitney summit in 12 hours. … hiking hike mountain mount whitney climbing snow summit trek trails rocks highest contiguous united states peak everest

Nice. A lot of snow for July. We just did it on 8-4-07. A real gut buster.

Lots snow, but it was melting fast. Definitely one of the toughest things I’ve done. Congrats on doing it in 1 day.

You kids should be proud. (I say kids for being 50 yrs.) Good work.

Thanks! It was definitely a challenge.

Wow, you guys did it from Whitney Portal? I did it from the backside and came out at Whitney Portal. I think the way you did it is harder; nice job!

Isn’t the back side a lot steeper? That must have been a tough hike also! All of us had trained together for 6 weeks before the hike so we kept a pretty constant brisk pace throughout the hike.

NOthing more inspires me than watching this video over and over again. I love it! Can’t wait to hike the trails in July. By the way, “What’s the name of this song?” Im loving it.

Glad you enjoyed the video. Here’s the info on the song:
Artist: Fort Minor
Song: Remember the name
Album: The Rising Tied
Good luck hiking in July!

Nice Video. I hiked Whitney yesterday, July
20th. Beautiful view up top..I even got a shirt. “The Big One in One Day!”

I just did this. There were way more than 99 switchbacks. Those were a BITCH!!

Highly suggest not doing this in one day unless you’re really in shape or want to have fun. People who say they had fun doing it in one day are liars… they’re just glad its over.
September 21st, 2008 at 7:45 am
One thing for sure…I was definitely glad it was over. Nothing better than having pizza and beer in Lone Pine after the hike.

Good video, but don’t know why a booty club song is used as a soundtrack for something out in nature like this. I just climbed my first mountain a week ago, Mt. Baldy over L.A. at just over 10,000ft. Hopefully next Mt. Gorgornio and then on to Whitney. Whitney looks brutal.

ugh, great music for a hiking/trekking video.
November 18th, 2008 at 7:41 am
Whitney is not brutal…easy path leading to the top. I’d suggest doing this in two days though – so your body has time to adjust to the altitude. Have fun and be safe!
Great video!

I would have made to the top in one day when I was 11, but my brother made us go back at 14,000

Best Mt Whitney Video I’ve ever seen
April 4th, 2009 at 3:36 am
I like your video. You chose good music. Bless you for not adding anything annoying for the music, like the speed metal you often in mountaineering videos.
I plan to hike Mt. Baldy this summer then Whitney next year or sooner. Then, I hope to summit Everest in (?)..
