Mt. Whitney Summit Day Hike

[@brianpetersen3429]

As someone that has claimed Mt Whitney, I must say I was impressed by your climb! To do this in one day is a remarkable achievement! Well done!

[@JanisLC]

Your recap at the end was great for any hikers in the future .. great job !

[@motorcyclemikele5856]

Your not just a Wonderhussy! Your a Superhussy! I've hiked 20 miles several times, and I'm in awe of your prowess! I was never that perky after any of my hikes. I especially liked the wrapup at the end of the video. Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed this video.

[@BillReitz]

Thanks for taking me along on your trek up and down this massive peak. I especially enjoyed the wrap-up. As usual your video work is very good.

[@Jeaniesunshine-fb5rk]

Thank you!!! I can barely get t on t he bathroom this trip is wonderful .

[@LuckyBaldwin777]

Wonderhussy, you're amazing. Even at the top of the world you manage to explore an old abandoned building .

[@liammcintyre8970]

It’s not an old abandoned building😂 it’s the Smithsonian Institution Shelter, people camp in there all the time

[@sly2392]

thank you for taking us with you. some of us watching will most likely never be able to do a hike like this. a wonderful video.

[@markwalker284]

Thanks for taking us along as that’s something I would no longer be able to do ! 😳🤓

[@georgelittle166]

Yes awesome video and great closing. I appreciate your expressions of awe. Feel like I'm hiking next to you. You have an gift for the camera.

[@Ang85323]

❤ thank you for taking 🙏 us up here. I would never make it that far. Much love girl 💑. I appreciate you

[@JanisLC]

Omg.. I loved loved this video ! The music.. your earrings, lol .. the sights .. the weird landscape at the top, all those rocks ? Loved the cabin.. gotta look up “the incident “ … I have only been to the base of Whitney , and have seen it many times from afar off 395 .. had no idea about the lake and streams that abound up there! What a beautiful hike !! Thanks so much for making this ! And congrats on doing it a day! Also.. know it had to be freezing .. was surprised at seeing the guy in shorts at the top ! WTH ? I

[@cassroberts6116]

Wow!!! You are very well prepared for this. Good luck! Beautiful country!! Gorgeous!! You are so lucky to view this splendor!! Congratulations!!!! You made it!

[@Mnrusty1]

HUGE congratulations Sarah! What an amazing accomplishment. Can’t begin to imagine the euphoria you felt in completing this major hike. Thanks very much for taking us along. I’ve hiked several 13,000’ peaks in CO and met my husband in 1990 climbing 13,063’ Wheeler Peak, (Great Basin NP in Nevada) and nothing really compares with the feeling of making it to the top. You did it! Superb video, one of your best!

[@rayflower1915]

Such an underrated channel.

[@jastapler3574]

You are an inspiration. Congratulations 🎉🍾

[@DD-sx8ss]

Thank you very much for doing this awesome hike, and expending the huge effort you did. I loved your recap and recommendations at the end. Love Wonderhussy's Adventures.

[@6spring3]

Thank you for your video of hiking Mt. Whitney. I've always wanted to see that area. Your videos are so great. I can't thank you enough! I'm 71 and stuck here in my apartment for cruddy old covid quarantine.

[@hikeclimbsail]

Best Whitney video I have watched....and, I've watched most, if not all. You are so informative! ❤

[@TheAdventuresOfDougan]

I love this video! I’ve done this hike 3 times, first as a two nighter, then as an overnighter, then finally as a day hike. We started at 4:00 am and that was good. Got to the summit a little before noon, but my buddy really struggled up the switchbacks to Trail Crest. One time, on the summit in perfectly clear blue skies, posing for a photo my buddy asked what was up with my (shoulder-length) hair? It was standing straight up. I shouted ‘run!’ And we made it to the shelter. Lightning started crashing all around. We’d heard the shelter wasn’t safe, so we were standing in the doorway (pre-remodel). When it eased up we bailed back to Trail Crest, then down. Fun times 😁

[@roberthodson879]

Fantastic view from the top of the world, thanks

[@republicoftexas3425]

Thanks for making the climb to the top of Mount Whitney. I've survived a second stroke this summer and like seeing people trying hard to get up to the tops of mountains. appreciate your efforts to get to the top.

[@277mitchell]

Thank you so much wonderhussy. Watching this and your other videos is probably the only way I will ever get 2 see these places. It was incredible. Keepem cumin

[@kevinspencer9245]

Nice going La Winder Hussy! You are one determined gal. I have always wanted to summit Whitney, and your awesome video gives me hope. I'm even more determined after experiencing your enthusiasm and appreciation of the sights. Keep it up!

[@davidreed5443]

The views at the lower elevations, even as the sun was rising, looked like a marvelous place to stop and explore!!!! So many terraces and flowing beauty!

[@erictaylor5462]

There is a film of a soccer game where the pitch was struck my lightning, several of the players collapsed and were badly hurt, but several players were fine. They didn't even feel it. But those that were hurt and those that were was not correspond to how far they where from where the lightning hit the ground, The factor that saved those that were not hurt, all the players that were unhurt had only opne foot on the ground, while all the players that were hurt had both feet on the ground.

[@xero4294]

Great video of an unbelievable view. As a history and nature buff, I always look forward to your uploads. I swear, seeing how physical most of your adventures are, you probably can crack open walnuts between your knees, LOL. I also think your respect for the trails and landmarks should be commended. Your leave things as you found them and clean up after yourself attitude towards these locations is beautiful. Your great mindset to preserve while you explore is what made me subscribe. Thank you for letting us share your adventures. Be safe and as my childhood in the 70's would say, " Keep on Truckin' " Jim

[@eirikolesen48]

Such a majestic place, I have done this hike 2 times, one of the best accomplishments in my life. You can see the curve of the earth, at this elevation.

[@jameswatt4694]

As someone who recently stumbled across your channel and is currently watching many of your videos (at work - sorry, bossman), this particular one has convinced be to make this (day)hike. I'm a coastal non-hiker and I'm older but I have raced mountain bikes at Mammoth in the thinner air over the years. Thank you for all your videos. I have years of them to enjoy still.....

[@paulreed1142]

Great, informative video! For those of us too sedentary and cowardly to partake in such an endeavor, we can still enjoy the experience vicariously. Love the Grieg "Morning Mood" from Peer Gynt, by the way!

[@paulreed1142]

"In the Hall of the Mountain King", too. Well done!

[@danpayan9468]

Sarah that is so beautiful never did whitney but I hike half dome in late 70s camped on Half dome 15 yrs old I had the energy awesome memories your so awesome❤😊

[@premiumblue1637]

You go to the coolest places and inspire us to follow in your foot steps to see the natural wonders or wonderhussy wonders... should say... that you take us to! Bless your heart...for sharing your adventures with us We luv ya..!

[@candysantillo3325]

BecauseI’d moved it took me nearly two months to get to see this. you’ve got to be one of the most fit people on earth. As usual ,you made me unexpectedly bust out laughing a few times.Thank you once again for showing me great things I’d otherwise never get to see

[@rockinracer]

Wonder woman on the Peak. You are amazing. Love your passion.

[@theninja001]

Having been all over the United States, there is NOWHERE as awesome as the Eastern Sierra! I did Whitney back when I was around 22 years old, I’m sure it would be a lot harder now that I’m 40! But I would love to do it again, there is nothing like that view from the saddle!

[@johneason6540]

Just summited 9.21.18. I was the older person on the trail that day. Training pool aid off, no problems. Up and down from the portal in aday!

[@BP-1988]

Much respect for Wonderhussy for climbing Mt. Whitney in one day. I climbed it many years ago but did at the end of a week's long hike coming from the other side of the mountain traveling south down the John Muir trail. It was in August and a storm was brewing as we approached the summit. When we got top we heard lightning had struck the hut about an hour before we got there. Fortunately, no one was killed.

[@dapperdanman1956]

That Hike! shucks your Wonderhussy! the Adventurer and no place stops my wonderhussy reaching the top

[@ElGuajiro48]

Another great video. I love your spirit of adventure. I've hiked to the top of Whitney three times, always as a backpack and always from the West side. First time in 1965, then 1975 and one last time in early 2000's. Keep up your adventures.

[@TexCynRVLife]

Thank you for this. Gorgeous scenery! I would not be able to take such a big hike in high altitude, so it was really cool to see that. You rock! 👍👊

[@martyrecords2829]

Hooray it's "Wonderhussy Wednesday"

[@rebeccarea479]

You are the best at this stuff. More detailed. More interesting. I learn a lot from your videos. You are wonderfull.

[@mojavegreen1804]

This is my favorite channel. It's appropriate for all moods.

[@chromabotia]

Absolutely amazing Sarah! WOW

[@gordbaker896]

Unquestionably your Very Best Video to date. Numbered, excellent editing, perfect choice of music which is not always necessary, great clarity of photography and panning. Super subject. I suppose you were wearing flip flops!!!! Thanks for a great trip. Never mess with Lighting.

[@jonathansteiner3251]

Wonderful travelogue. Looks just the same as it did all the many years ago that I did the hike. Thanks Sarah 😘.

[@pjbikerful]

Wonderhussy never ceases to amaze us. You are such an awesome women 👍

[@skipstein744]

A'turnaround' hike up and down Whitney is a good pull. I have done both a overnight backpack trip and the turnaround. Excelsior! Onward and upward!

[@skipstein744]

Would also suggest doing White Mountain, across the valley below. Only a few feet below Whitney, another great hike. The trail is out of Big Pine. Sleep at roads end, at 11,00 feet, and hike the next morning. On our turnaround, we also left at 2:00 AM. Congrats!!

[@9363234]

Beautiful place, great for you to bring us there thanks.

[@mezmarionybarra]

Wow amazing ! Yes you Should be So proud of yourself ! Thank you for sharing so much great info and beautiful scenery great great stuff!!!!

[@caroltyler7498]

Always seen it looking from a distance , thank you for taking us along . Amazing views !!!!!

[@I_Am_Michael]

thank you for the video. very well done. been years since I went up that mountain. still love watching others do it.

[@larslarsman]

Glad you made the round trip safely. Thanks for the video. Another option is to approach from the Kern Plateau. I climbed it the same route you did via Whitney Portals.

[@douglasgault5458]

I know this hike. Back in 1979 I hooked up with several other seasoned back packers & mountain goats. And we took off on the John Mur trail, which then became a pacific crest adventure hike of a life time. Originally we only planed to hike Mount Whitney to Yosemite. But 3 months latter we were at the north fork of the feather River area before we called it quits. 3 months later. It was the longest endurance hike of my life but well worth the adventure in God's Country. And after that trip I didn't back pack for another 9 yrs. That was back in the day when men still had the right stuff & a sense of adventure.

[@solohoh]

1979 was back in the day when it was a wilderness experience and we met very few people on the trail. Now the trails are crowded - the media and high tech have made hiking an easy, fashionable event. It used to be a joy to see another hiker on the trail, now the crowds are dispiriting.

[@douglasgault5458]

@ Solohoh those were the days my friend. I'll never for get picking up a copy of sunset magazine & seeing my favorite county being featured & within a year what had been a pristine example of the old Sierra's was turned into a disaster zone. With the ecosystem left in shambles. And before I gave up hiking & back packing due to a back injury. I was meeting people who were way out of their element and never should have left the city.

[@williamlawrence5455]

Wonderhussy I think you're incredible I love watching your program make me feel young I love watching you thank you keep up the good work WL Lawrence

[@joannahuskey6425]

I love Mt Whitney- hiked it a few times during my years in So Cal. Beautiful.

[@sailwinds69]

Great job nice filming I have been a avid back packer I have hiked the John Muir trail most of the Pacific Crest trail including all Oregon Washington States Mount Whitney and Mount Rainier and I appreciate people that love the outdoors amazing job

[@didymostruespeal]

I've hiked that before coming up from Mirror Lake on the other side and over the top and then getting some lunch at Whitney portals.that was the last stretch of a two-week backpacking trip that started north of there. In the summer there is a lot of places to go skinny dipping and get sun. Just always have to have that bear spray handy.

[@justjackfromsc]

You are a studette WH. Thanks for the great video. They are always a great watch.

[@quasi66]

Your videos just keep getting better and better! I love them!

[@tazmod7272]

You are amazing Wonderhussy!

[@williambaughman535]

Brings back old memories, I did that hike in 1995! Six of us started, only three including me made it to the top. Couple of altitude casualties and one guy stopped from exhaustion. Finally finished in the dark. The logs across the creek near the trailhead are scary after dark, I walked across those at about 10 PM at night. To do this you need to be in good shape, I was 45 years old and in those days ran a marathon and plenty of 10K's not to mention multiple test hikes at about 13,000 ft. near Palm Springs for preparation.

[@grega8586]

Ummm... I'm late to the party, but just had to say... I don't think your altitude claim around Palm Springs is anywhere close to accurate. San Jacinto is only 10,834 and San Gorgonio is 11,503...

[@jacklisiecki2389]

Way to go WH! Thanks for the adventure!

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

Excellent wrap synopsis. But the trek down was a bit quick...5 seconds. My parents and brother have hiked Mt. Whitney; not me yet. Thank you for sharing your adventure and a great review of the top including the panoramas. And I appreciate your honesty about all the factors you experienced. Just so you know, you captured me with WH NEWS report on Mad Mike Hughes launch report and have been a fan since. You ROCK.

[@jeffpalmer5502]

Well that was a great video,once again. I live by the 2nd highest mountain in the continental U.S. Mt Rainier. About 65 mi.from sea level to 14400 ft. Thanks for another fine video!

[@indoorandoutdoorendurance3889]

Wow: I watched this all the way through. I honestly wasn't sure how much of it I would watch, and yet I guess it was pretty interesting. I kept watching, and I got through the whole thing. That must have been an incredible hike.

[@robert4524]

I've been waiting for you to post this one. I was exploring the Alabama Hills area a couple of weeks ago and was very interested to see what the Whitney hike is like. Great job on the hike and especially the video, very well done.

[@mrrama8477]

Thanks Sara! Reminds me of my trip up Whitney years ago...nice job.

[@rommelnavarrette2831]

You have a great personality. Watched your entire video and was very entertaining. Great job.

[@johneason6540]

Oh! I forgot to say I summited Mt. WHITNEY on 9.21.18 up and back in one day like you. Weather was perfect. Felt good on the way up and back. The training pays off. I did eat at that burger joint you pointed to in lone pine. It was great, but you are right, really wasn't that hungry. More excited for what I did, tired only got two hours of sleep before the hike. Will do it again next year when I hike the JMT, unless you are interested in going now!!! Lol. Great video, loved it. We were just two days apart on the trail. Crazy!

[@johnmccarthy660]

Very informative and inspiring video,one of your best.

[@sandrasnoddy1976]

Always wanted to do lowest point to the highest point but got to busy doing other hikes love your channel can totally relate to solo camping peace enjoy the solo life n solidarity

[@GregoryCox-ph5nt]

I did Whitney when I was 15 hiked from mineral King to Whitney portal it took 2 weeks. Most unspoiled place I have ever seen. Next time, go see the lakes on the other side . Thanks for sharing. I was their in 1972

Another great job Sarah. Thanks

Woohoo just got in from school run. time to watch one of my favourite vloggers 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

[@aliensoup2420]

Hiking Whitney under a full moon is awesome. If you get a visible moon during the beginning of the hike in early morning, it lites up the granite walls almost like daytime. You can easily hike the trail without a flash-light. September is definitely the best time to go to avoid snow, but I did get caught in a blizzard one year, and canceled another trip due to a big snowstorm the night before my hike.

[@100inthewind]

That was really a great video! Thanks for taking us along and telling us what it was like. I even recognized the music called Morning that you played in the morning! Ha!

[@SuperBuzd]

Very cool adventure. Thanks W.H.

[@debbiepaukert4775]

You just crack me up! Great recap!

[@richardofsylmar]

Enjoyed your hike very much, brought back memories from when I did it. It is such a beautiful hike. After I did Whitney, (The following year) myself and some friends did Mount Shasta which is also way up there in elevation somewhere around 14,000 feet. But you Would want to do your homework on this one as well, (there was lots of snow) we used a Ice ax, crampons and a bump pump cap to put over her head. It was so very cool. But again, thank you so much Wonder Hussy

[@herrent]

I did it mid September as well. Great feedback you shared at the end.

[@jay33begin]

Woow wonderhussy... you deserve the beuty ,u see u hike hard enough for it!!well done your an inspiration to me!💚

[@MaxZomboni]

Great hike. It would be cool to hike up late in the day. Get to the summit just in time to watch the sunset. Then camp in the cabin over night. Then watch the sunrise in the morning and start back down.

[@rondickson7906]

What an accomplishment 👍🏻🤗. Great video. You are so fit !

[@lozobrown637]

Interestingly you made another great vid! Thanks Hussy you're the best!

[@concussed5704]

I love hiking uphill and hate going down. It hurts more going down. 👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️

[@SweetTone76]

What a champ “a day hike summit” 💪 I did an overnighter and we woke up 3-4am to summit and catch the sunrise.

[@troyj3390]

That was a definitely an enjoyable video..I really appreciate you climbing Mt..Whitney and I really enjoyed your commentary,I could listen to you all the time..even if ur high as a kite..figuratively or literally😀😉...keep em coming

[@brianchernecki4844]

Good video. I was a SERE in the military for four years and aside from that have done the Whitney hike twice. The problem I see with your method is that it is certainly possible and likely to be successful, but you were definitely testing the limits. The weather can vary from year to year and can be quite severe. Had you encountered bad weather, or some physical problem (diarrhea, hypothermia, altitude sickness, injury) you would have been pushed beyond your limits. Once again it can be done and is done often, but then there is that one chance. Better when in nature to stay well within safe limits, often people will mock you for doing so, but some of them are dead, I know because I was occasionally sent to find them and did. There is a quote by the poet Robert Service, "I have fought the wild, and the wild has won." All that aside, I wish you had taken a nude photo at the top.:)

[@jamesholt7612]

Nice to see you having a good time with your travels my friend, it's been rainy cold time here in West Texas.

[@tedebear108]

Hello wonderhussy. This is Ted from Texas. This adventure was definitely worth watching. Glad you made it up there and back safely. Can't wait for the next adventure you have. You take care of yourself and one day I hopefully will meet you and I can get that picture.

[@kodaexploring5176]

Some killerl views up on that mountain. Very very cool !!!

[@maljcross4634]

Glad to see you're wearing your boots on this trip.
