First attempt at Mt Whitney

Summited Mt Whitney on first attempt. With some training and planning for 2 months and a week. Mt Whitney sitting at 14508 in elevation. The tallest peak in the Continental US. Started at 1:55 AM. Returned at 8:00PM. An 18 hour day. Grateful for the experience. It was physically and mentally challenging for myself. I did feel some mild elevation symptoms. At the end of the video. Some Raw emotions and thoughts. Time and distance back to the trailhead. If you’re considering doing this. Do your own research and know what you are getting into. With some training and planning. You can do this.
