It's a date

It's final. I'm starting my attempt on Thursday July 19th. Ken and I fly down to LA on Wed. July 18th and meet up with Nate. The three of us then drive up to Lone Pine and spend Wednesday night at a hotel. Early Thursday morning (3am or 4am) we start up Mt. Whitney. I expect us to summit around noon, where we'll have a nice meal and I'll try to nap. Following that, the three of us will start back down and my clock begins. At the pass, I'll head down the back side of Whitney and Nate and Ken continue back to Whitney Portal where they start the drive back to LA. If all goes according to plan I arrive at Happy Isle in Yosemite Valley on the evening of Tuesday July 24.
