That's my recommendation now. In my 30's I would have told you to burn up the side of the mountain if you felt that way. There is no lack of people doing that. There are lots of other trails & mountains to go up that are enjoyable & have no traffic jams, but I understand wanting to do Whitney. The guys here are giving you good advice. The better shape you're in the more you will enjoy it.
