I climbed it a couple of years ago, (I think four) and while I was resting to get some air, (there isn't any after you get above the timber line), some people came by that said they had climbed Kilamanjaro, and Mt. Whitney was more difficult. I didn't ask them in what way, since not breathing made talking impossible. It is an interesting hike. We started at 4:00 a.m. with helmet lights. I finished about 2:00 p.m. when I realized that in my earlier life I had gotten used to breathing, and without air, I lost interest. I don't plan to do it again.
