I'm definitely doing this hike! The only question is how long will it take for me to get in shape for it. Hopefully not long. Ze, Rick, let's do this!

The Sierra Challenge sounds awesome. I'll definitely give it a try next year. I hiked Langley and Whitney back to back over the July 4th weekend. Even caught some trout on the way to Langley! I'll post a trip report. Almost did White Mt. after Whitney, but decided to just check out the Ancient Bristlecone Forest instead.

I know this is late notice, but I'm going to attempt this hike tomorrow (Saturday) starting around 5:00am from Manker Flats. Up to the notch and over via Backbone, and I was thinking about taking the Pine Mountain Ridge on the way back from Wrightwood, then descending via the bowl trail depending how I feel.

Going solo as of right now, but I welcome company. Usually hike with a dog but I don't think my dog would be up for something like this yet. I typically play a mountain biker in real life but I've got a bum arm, and can't convince any of my biking friends to go on a hike like this with me.

First post here, but I've been reading y'all for a while. Lots of good info, hopefully I can get out with some of you another day if this weekend doesn't work. Cheers!
