Cucamonga – 2026 – Whitney Training

Wild range of weather today up on cucamonga. I checked the forecast last night and saw it said 40 on the summit but the bite of the wind was rough. A little more snow than I expected as well but pretty in line with recent reviews I’d seen. First higher elevation training hike for Whitney with @y.n.wakabayashi, who I kept up really well with a quick pace up. Took a more relaxed pace down as it warmed up. Overall a fun day on one of my favorite trails while kicking my ass a little. First bigger hike since last June and my feet are feeling it!
