Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Diamox

Thread drift, thread drift......we don't need no stinkin thread drift!!!!

Possibly because Diamox has been beaten to death on about 100 different threads. Besides, this thread has been fun.

Question: Can you tell me what I should eat on Mt Whitney (Aaaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!)

Answer: Check the other 100 threads on what to eat! And, oh yea, learn to use the "search". My God, I am pissy when I haven't had enough coffee.

p.s. 1 Burchey....Denali???? Please don't call yourself a newbie. I'm way too jealous and not brave enough.

p.s. 2 Atari .... same with you. I love reading your posts. Russell/Carillion in October!!!! It will be cold, but if snow keeps away.....One GORGEOUS month to go up. Didn't you go up Whitney in June? Snow? Straight up the chute?

p.s. 3 Tom, we need to hike together. I'm 200, but 55 lb's lighter than three years ago. The new hip likes less weight.

p.s. 4 CaT, Yes, I summited a week before the date you put down. I wish I had met you either at the portal or the hostel while you were at Whitney.....bummed about that.

p.s. 5 Gary is the fastest hiker downhill I've ever seen. Sucks for me because I hate downhill and try to keep it slow and less stress on my legs, knees, hip.

p.s. 6 I've got permits for Oct 2nd, but am considering doing the MR in mid September instead. It will be my first time doing the entire route. I checked the calendar and didn't see anyone doing the MR at all in Sept. Is anyone hiking the MR in Mid Sept?

p.s. 7 Bee Hijack, hijack, hijack :-)

p.s. 8 wagga.....great video and movie

My favorite is Val Kilmer (select from about 5 different scenes) in Tombstone

asta.....and it's almost lunch time. I have a show tonight in San Diego in case anyone is there.
