Thanks. In addition to training, you want to make sure you acclimate properly. We spent the first night at Whitney Portal campground (8,400 feet) and the second night at Trail camp (12,000 feet). You can do it!

Thanks. Altitude sickness makes your experience pretty lousy and that's why Jason said he is one and done for the summit. I was so hungry when I finished I thought for sure I could finish the whole thing, but it turned out I could only finish half 😃

@@davidfeiler1279 Ya. During my first summit attempt I started feeling sick at Trail Camp while setting up camp. Ate some food and hydrated, but decided to pack up and head back down rather than risk getting worse overnight. Possible I could have gotten better after getting some rest. Will be interesting to see if Jason changes his mind after he's back and fully recovered. Funny how we forget the tough parts of the trips when we are back home sitting comfortably on our couches.

I've wondered what the non-JMT part of the loop looks like. Great video and overall view of the loop. I hope to do it in 2025 starting from Onion Valley. Probably clockwise. I appreciate the effort you took in time and energy to film the trip. It was enjoyable following along and very informative.

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for filming the Rim trail at Mt. Wilson. In the late 90's I used to frequent this trail, starting from the Golf Course to Mt. Wilson Toll Road to Rim Trail to Gabrielino Trail stop at Chantry Flats store to get a quick snack and back to the golf course area. Back then, I don't ever recall seeing so much over grown vegetation. Thanks for filming the memorial of USFS volunteer at newcombs pass. I got such a big thrill whenever I visited Sturtevant camp. My bucket list is to stay the night in a cabin at sturtevant camp. Thanks!!!

@davidfeiler1279 26 күн бұрын

You are welcome. That sounds like a very challenging loop you use to do from the golf course. Chantry Flats and Sturtevant have been closed for a few years now, but I heard they may open up October 1st this year. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi David...back in the 70s thru the 90s we used to catch really beautiful Native Rainbow trout...the Native are not big but have profound colors and definition. A 5 inch male would already have a very profound lower hooked jaw ... Amazing fish...if you come across any please release them.... they'd appreciate it. I grew up in Downey and spent countless hours in the Canyons... Try Fish Canyon sometime in the winter qhen it's not crowded... Eric Underwood Class of 81 Downey High School Downey California
