Mt. Whitney Badge
The highest in the Lower 48 — a long day you’ll never forget.
Mt. Whitney is a full commitment: big mileage, big elevation, early alarms, and a summit that feels like a lifetime achievement. This is the kind of hike you train for — and the kind you tell stories about forever.
Why This Trail?
Whitney is peak Bandit energy: stubborn determination, careful preparation, and finishing strong when the trail turns into a test. This badge is a marker of a major personal win — the kind earned through grit, pacing, and respect for the mountain.
You don’t “do” Whitney. You earn it.
