Camped overnight at the peak, I'd recommend camping at High Creek (about 6 miles up).
The peak is obviously very exposed, High Creek is well covered with running water year-round. Looked much more enjoyable than camping at the peak.
Beautiful hike all the way up, definitely worth the difficulty.
This one is definitely the trainer you want to do before doing Whitney. I don't think I would've made it up to 14.5K feet at Whitney had I not done Gorgonio first.
