Thanks for the info. Appreciate any suggestions. It just seems with a 3pm start you'd be summiting in the middle of the night and if you went quick it wouldn't be getting light until nearing return to Paradise. Just basing it off the estimated times I mentioned that I saw on Alan Arnette's website. Are those estimates not accurate?
Times are right, you'd get to the summit at or just before the very beginning of sunrise which is exactly the correct time to summit. If everyone is in really great shape and you don't want to take much of a break at Muir or ingraham, push the start time a few hours later. I prefer taking some good breaks and starting even earlier than 3pm. Point is, plan to summit as the day is just starting, instead of in the middle of the afternoon as a 3am car departure would do. You can't even get your permit at 3am anyways unless it's off season self registration because the climbing rangers aren't there

Makes sense. You prob saw the post from one of my potential partners (williswall) who mentioned a 5pm start so looks like that mid pm ETD is the ticket. Thanks again and good luck in any upcoming endeavors.
