A better place to post this question would be http://www.whitneyportalstore.com/ (go to the message boards), or http://www.whitneyzone.com/ (go to the forums). The latter has a wonderful collection of information for first-timers (go the forums and look in the left sidebar for "Orientation Notes". Mount Whitney is a very popular destination in the summer (July-Aug), so it can be hard to get permits. However, if you really are going in May (and that is going to be like a winter ascent), you probably won't have much trouble getting a permit. Just look into it now! For an ascent in May, I would have started conditioning in January or earlier, but don't be discouraged -- do your homework, and keep on task! Have a good, SAFE trip!
