How to use the Whitney pace card

Scenario: You arrive at Trail Camp and your stop watch reads 4 hours and 45 minutes cumulative (with breaks) hike time. Find Trail Camp on the pace card and move across the chart to the right. Notice how 4:45 is between 4:23 and 4:51 hours on the chart. Once you determine where your time falls on the chart, then move up the chart to determine your current pace. So, in this scenario, if you left the Portal at 3am, and continue to maintain the current 9-10 hour pace determined by the pace card, you should arrive at the summit between 12pm and 1pm. The most prominent checkpoints on the trail are Lone Pine Lake, Outpost Camp, Trail Camp, & Trail Crest.
