Looking for strong, experienced teammates who are already comfortable with this level of distance and elevation gain.

This is not intended to be a training hike or a first big-elevation day.
You should be able to maintain a steady pace with minimal breaks and be comfortable hiking independently if our paces separate.

We don’t all need to stay together, but everyone should be self-sufficient with navigation, gear, food, water, and emergency preparation.

Today 09/29
I just did Whitney on Sep 25 in 14hrs.
Hope to get faster on the 2nd round on Oct 30.
I will do this hike 2 weeks after that.
Plan fly from Sacramento to Palm Spring.

19.6mi Length
10,629ft Elevation gain
10,804ft highest point

I'd estimate C2C 11-13hrs including few short breaks. Also we will run at some sections.

Star hiking 4 AM
11hr -->3 PM
12hr -->4 PM
13hr -->5 PM
Sunset 4.41PM
