Although not a part of the official Pacific Crest Trail, the side hike to the top of Mount Whitney, at 14,505′ the highest point in the contiguous United States, most PCT hikers attempt to summit the mountain. For many reasons, many do not make it. Weather, physical conditions, and time constraints top the list for reasons for PCT hikers to fail to reach the top. To see if Rob made it, watch the video.

After a six week hiatus, Rob is back on the Pacific Crest Trail. He’s starting at Kennedy Meadows, considered the southern gateway to the Sierras and headed to Crabtree Meadow, the junction to the trail headed to the Mount Whitney. The trip starts a bit hot and dry, but builds to be plenty cool and wet. See for yourself in the video linked below.
