You are correct on two points. The JMT starts on the Mt Whitney summit. Approximately 210 miles to HI. I prefer north bound from HM over either AP or NAP. You can drop your pack and rip up Mt Langley and camp 1st night around Rock Creek. Then Guitar lake 2nd night, Summit Whitney, then get? to the Basin below Forester. 22 mile day.
That 5 miles of loose sand on the PCT from CSL to Siberia Pass is a perfect example of 2 steps forward 1 step back. It takes 10 miles worth of energy for the 5 miles. I hate that climb up to Bullfrog lake? from Bubbs, and the switchbacks from MTR to Mosquito lakes(Sallie Keyes), climbing out of Tully Hole switchbacks, that's about it. A couple of other passes I don't like are Kersarge heading out, Spookey Meadow above Agnew lake. The switchbacks out of Algiers Lakes are one of my favorites, along with Bear Ridge, and the Golden Staircase.
It's way easier to get a ticket from Trail Heads in the south, and out of Yosemite.?
Be careful out there?
I Don't like the long down hills, because I rip thru them at 4 to 5? mph.?

This: "I prefer north bound from HM over either AP or NAP. You can drop your pack and rip up Mt Langley and camp 1st night around Rock Creek.” would be a pretty fruity first day. ?Horseshoe Meadows TH to Langley summit is about 12 miles, then a pretty fabulous rapid descent to Soldier Lake would be about another 8 miles. ?Then you’re looking at another 6 or so (I believe to Rock Creek). ?Even hitting Soldier after the Langley summit in one day would be a lot of work, especially on the first day of a hike. ?Pretty epic though.
