[pct-l] Mt Whitney meet up with friends

[Shutterbug steiner]

The trail from Lone Pine (Eastside & Whitney Portal)and the trail from the Crabtree Meadows (PCT Westside) would intersect about 4 mile miles from the top.  If you wanted to start with them you would either have to exit earlier around Cottonwood Springs or before.  Then meetup with them in LP go to Whitney Portal and summit.  If you wanted to rejoin the PCT you could split at that Junction and head back toward the PCT and Crabtree.  - Doing it this way would mean that you would miss a portion of the PCT.

  I have a couple friends who are thinking of meeting me on trail and 
summiting Mt Whitney, yes I know about the permit thing and they are both in 
very good hiking/climbing shape already. My questions are: Where would they 
meet me? and How would they get there without driving their own vehicle?

I ask where, because having read many websites, journals and looking at 
maps, it seems that I'll be going by Mt Whitney on one side and all the 
literature says to go to Lone Pine, blah, blah, blah. But is my going to 
Lone Pine going to be the easiest to meet up with them??

Thanks for any suggestions!
