[pct-l] Mt Whitney permit

[Sly]

Nah, they won't hold you to a date.  You'll be lucky in you see a ranger 
climbing from the west. 

I highly recommend staying at the tarn above Guitar Lake.  You not only 
get a awesome view of the GL, and the surrounding area, and it makes the 
climb all that much easier.

We just stashed all our gear in one tent and took what we need for the 
climb.  No marmot problems.
