Great pre-trip report! The documentation of gear was really helpful.
My partner Peter Bakwin and I popularized the sport of multi-day trail records when we established records on the Colorado Trail in 1999 and the JMT in 2000. Besides having fun, our intention was to spur others on to what's possible ... really glad it's happenning! The sport is being moved forward, and now I'm learning a ton from everyone.
One strong recommendation: the JMT really does start at Whitney Portal. All trails start at trailheads ... that's why they're called trailheads ... not at some mark along the way. The original reason Mt Whitney summit was called the start was for marketing hype.
Have fun, BB
