Mt. Whitney training, plus archive photos
Mt. Whitney training update: We’re doing a 10-mile + hike this weekend on Mt. Diablo. Amazingly, I’ve never been there before, but it should be a decent test. Looking forward to a warm day and hopefully a bit of time at “Rock City” doing some bouldering. Should be fun.
Finally, Scott dug up and sent what few photos we took from the first Mt. Whitney trip, shot prior to the widespread adoption of digital cameras. I’m looking forward to taking my tiny Canon on the upcoming trip, and taking a lot of pics.
Scott (L) and me (R), circa 1996 - afternoon arrival at High Camp on Mt. Whitney. Shortly after this was taken we retreated to our tiny tent to ride out an insane thunderstorm.
Good morning Mt. Whitney! (That's me in the foreground.) Clear skies but too much snow for us to make it to the summit.
Descending. :-(
