[pct-l] Mt. Whitney

[cmkudija at earthlink.net (Christine Kudija)]

Jane,

A couple of questions for you: (1) are you accustomed to altitudes above,
say, 9,000'/~3000m?  Appetite changes at elevation, especially if going to
high elevations is not something you usually do.   (2)  are you accustomed
to an alpine environment, where temperatures and winds can fluctuate
substantially, depending on where you are on the mountain?

I'll have some suggestions after you reply....also, are you asking only
about food, or about gear as well?

| I am climbing Mt. Whitney in August (permit in hand).  I have a number of
books, but not one has a sensible list of supples for the climb.  Does
anyone have a link, where I could hust get the grocery list fot a four day
hike.  I am not a picky eater.
