On 9/10/24 I did the Whitney double (main route) in 13:10:52.  I started at 1:30 am with the goal of completing most of the first lap in the dark.  I filtered water at the numerous stream crossings on the way up and down.  I used my car as an aid station in the parking lot allowing for restocking fuel/calories and a quick change of clothes between laps.  These were summit numbers 19 and 20 of Mount Whitney for me.  The second lap was definitely more of a mental challenge knowing I'd have to push even harder at altitude to secure the FKT.
