An alternate to Whitney Portal is a start at Horseshoe Meadow or Cottonwood. These trailheads are near Whitney Portal. From them you access the Pacific Crest Trail, head north and pickup the John Muir Trail in Crabtree Meadow for the ascent of Whitney. Exit at Whitney Portal and hitch a ride. Figure 4 good hiking days for this route.

If you know how you do with altitude, acclimation-wise you may be able to get away with just a single night at the trailhead.
