While slightly taller, around 200 meters or 650ish feet higher than Mauna Kea, Google Maps says it takes 94 hours to walk from Morrow Beach (closest I could find) to the top of Mt Whitney, compared to just 23 hours from Waikōloa Beach to the top of Mauna Kea.
So in that regard I kinda feel Mauna Kea has an upper hand still. But good suggestion, it is technically higher.
