43 mile loop from Onion Valley, over Kearsarge Pass, to the JMT south, over Forester Pass south to Crabtree Meadow and out over Trail Crest and down to Whitney Portal.  I'm 56 and just did it last Sunday, Aug. 4 [2013] in 15 hrs and 5 mins (5:15 am to 8:20 pm) and was witnessed by Jack McBroom, the previous California 14er record holder.
Cheers,
Pete Kirkham
