Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion MR - MT - Summit Conditions?

After careful consideration, PM's and e-mails from friends on this board..... I hate to say, but the MR is a NO go :-( and will have to wait. Kinda sucks, but my back still isn't right, still stiff, no real pain, just having to be real careful. It actually takes me a couple (or more) minutes to stand up straight. I talked with DJ and we agreed we should probably hold off for better weather. With trail conditions and my back, it just didn't seem prudent.

So.... thanks to Steve C (who was going to join us) and everyone who wished us luck on our first attempt and also those who were concerned. It just didn't work out this time. Now, back to Baldy and SJ for more training hikes after my back gives me permission.
