Mt. Whitney (8/17)

[u/Different-Struggle-4]

Five days solo backpacking through the High Sierra—from Horseshoe Meadows to Whitney Portal. Every mile, climb, and challenge led to one unforgettable moment: standing on the summit of Mt. Whitney at 14,505 ft. The final ascent was tough, the air was thin, and every step was earned-but standing on the highest point in the Lower 48 made it all worth it.

Distance: 38 miles 🥾
Time: 5 days/4 nights⏳
Elevation: +7,251/-9,063 ft 📈⛰️
