Summit Mt. Whitney

By Peter Scott

Hello I’m Peter Scott author & videographer, I combine eBooks with videography to provide some cool visuals that’ll help plan your summit to Mt. Whitney. The tips we’ve included in this book will make your trip a pleasant one. I created this book, forgive the expression “with a beginners mind” I've included a complete plan of: Food, equipment, clothes durations & maps and much more. The plan is to summit in 4 days to acclimate to the elevations and enjoy the majestic scenery. I really believe anyone can summit at this pace.

Peter Scott

Peter Scott grew up in post war austerity Britain and joined the RAF.He was lucky enough to be posted to Kenya which sparked an interest in mountaineering and the local ecology, but it also acquainted him with the cruelty inherent in our own species.Later, as an aircraft engineer in various parts of the world he could see the difficulty of squaring rapid population growth without poverty and damage to the natural environment.Now settled at home he dismally concludes that his own precious island is also struggling to be a green and pleasant land as the population heads for seventy million.Apart from being a general misery, he enjoys playing clarinet and jazz saxaphone; ranting on the BBC, and writing.
