I think the walk in from the West side is considerably longer than going
through Lone Pine to the Whitney Portals.  AFAIK it's not possible to do the
Sequoia side in a day.

YMMV

Oh, yeah, it's still quite warm over there according to my buddy in Bishop,
but you always have to bring layers for Whitney.
