[pct-l] Mt. Whitney Permits

[aslive at charter.net]

If you have a thru-hike permit, you will not need an extra one to hike 
Mt. Whitney.  The permit is only for the eastern approch where most of 
the public makes their assent.  From the PCT, you will be approching 
from the west and then desending back down along the same route.  No 
problem, unless something has changed.
