[pct-l] Mt Whitney permit Change

[herbstroh at charter.net]

As an aside, if you exit at Whitney Portal YOU WILL be checked for a
permit. RRanger are up and down that trail, and if your pack is not flying
a permit flag, expect to get an inquiry.

I just got an email back from Brenda Murray at the PCTA. 

She's aware of all this and has contacted their USFS PCT Manager on it. The
PCTA's long-term agreement stands unchanged - the through-hikers' permit
does allow you to climb Whitney without paying the $15 fee for the Whitney
Zone endorsement.......as long as you do not go over Trail Crest. If you
do, or might, then you will need the $15 WZ endorsement.

If that changes, she'll post a notice to the PCT_L as well as on the PCTA
website.
