Re: Solar Charger
FWIW - I used this last year: https://amzn.to/3WB7QTV And it worked much better than I expected. The carabiners were useless, but I used a little cordage to tie loops in the panel's eyelets and then

Re: Solar Charger
Well, I don't know if my system is better, but it's what works for me. I have to maintain my iPhone, a small camera and my InReach mini when I'm out. My system comes in at ~8 oz (w/o cables). ?And,

Solar Charger
I usually use a 28W Big Blue solar charger on the trail, but I just noticed they have a 20W charger that's smaller and .75 lbs lighter: https://bigblue-tech.com/products/solarpowa-p25 So, 1.75 vs.

Re: Permit entering at Mono Pass (Mosquito Flat) exiting Whitney
Call the SNF office in Prather and explain what you are doing. You want to hike from Mono Creek to Whitney (exit), and are hiking from Mono Pass to get to VVR.? (This is a true statement!) They may
Re: Permit entering at Mono Pass (Mosquito Flat) exiting Whitney
I can’t agree more. “The JMT” goal is understandable, but somewhat constrained and artificial. I quickly realized that trips off the main trail are in many ways better. My advice is just

Re: Permit entering at Mono Pass (Mosquito Flat) exiting Whitney
I'm not a fan of workarounds of getting two permits or exiting illegally. They have rangers on the trail who check permits and we've had reports of citations and fines. The more people break the rules

Re: Permit entering at Mono Pass (Mosquito Flat) exiting Whitney
Useful option.? We exited at VVR last year.? How do I pick up a permit for SNF at VVR?? FYI today there were 9 (of 12) passes available for Mono trailhead even 10 minutes after it opened.? NONE

Re: Permit entering at Mono Pass (Mosquito Flat) exiting Whitney
One other thing to try is to check back on the Recreation.gov site at 7:15 or there abouts and then again later in the morning.? My experience, not on Whitney exit passes but on various Inyo entries,

Re: Permit entering at Mono Pass (Mosquito Flat) exiting Whitney
I agree. Climbing and descending Mt Whitney from the East is quite easy and I believe allowed. Although beautiful, the exit via Whitney portal can be pretty trashed with garbage, vomit and used wag

Re: Permit entering at Mono Pass (Mosquito Flat) exiting Whitney
Sierra NF still needs ya to pick up permits in Prather right? not exactly convenient from VVR... will they write permits at the High Sierra ranger station at Bosillo Creek? I have had the same

Re: Permit entering at Mono Pass (Mosquito Flat) exiting Whitney
Another advantage of exiting at Horseshoe is that you don't need to carry a wag bag plus you can day hike Whitney from Crabtree.

I'm afraid I'm going to get ripped for this , but here goes. I had a Kearsarge to Horseshoe Meadows permit a couple years ago.? After reaching summit of Whitney, I was not sure I had a couple more
Re: Permit entering at Mono Pass (Mosquito Flat) exiting Whitney
From the summit of Mt. Whitney, it is 10-11 miles to Whitney Portal and 28-29 miles to Horseshoe Meadows. The difference is only 18 miles, which is well under 3 extra days. And the hike out would be

Re: Permit entering at Mono Pass (Mosquito Flat) exiting Whitney
Here's your solution :) Get a non-whitney permit for Mosquito Flat/Mono Pass for the day you intend to leave. Then get a whitney permit for Mono Creek for the day you anticipate reaching the JMT

Re: Permit entering at Mono Pass (Mosquito Flat) exiting Whitney
Mono Pass (South) is a day or two from Lake Edison. So you could get an Inyo permit for that portion, then a Sierra NF permit for Mono Creek (the ferry landing) to the Portal. You would have to get

Re: Permit entering at Mono Pass (Mosquito Flat) exiting Whitney
For Inyo permits, you must have an exit permit for Whitney to be able to exit via WP, in addition to your entry permit. The exit permits are very difficult to get since there aren't many of them.
