Yea, we were up at the Portal all day Saturday through Sunday night when we headed up the trail. He's been through a lot of high altitude stuff before, and we were well hydrated. I think he's got a bug of some sort, and it messed with him at altitude. It was unusual for him for sure.
It's frustrating to get that far, be able to see your objective, and know that you can not go on and leave a buddy behind. We made the right move heading down, but man I would have liked to have gotten to the summit before he got sick!
