I must have seen you at the summit as i was up there from about 10:30 to 11:30 on Sunday.
Cool, small world! Were you, by any chance, with the 20 folks from Valencia? The four guys from Orange County (who brewed coffee at the summit and had pastries, too, yum!)? With the owner of the dog who climbed (not so legally) to the summit? Someone else? Was a party up there.... A great day to summit!
Karin, how the hell did you get away with a 35-pound pack for a 5-day trip when I had 36 for a two-nighter on Whitney last year?! Oh, that's right - I was carrying the damn super-sized bear can filled to the brim with all of Joe Q's heavy candy . . .
Hey, I like to think of it as 6 days...! Seriously, though, for my trip earlier this year, I splurged on some high end stuff, including the
Bearikade Weekender. Worth almost every dollar (worth every ounce saved, at least.) And I brought the 25 degree bag this time, instead of the 10 degree bag....
So, what's left on the Fourteener list for you? I know you have Whitney, Shasta and now Langley notched. Russell and Muir before winter comes?
You are so nice to remember my California trilogy! End of the season for me, sigh, I think. Plus, no more nontechnical California 14ers left, what's a girl to do? (I did White back in 2010). Mt. Sill? Sigh. I am stymied.
