Gary,
thanks man! and next time I am taking the original trail cut off.

I was worried about AMS almost as much as that storm. Now that I made it to the top without getting nailed, i think I can relax on future hikes (though I am still going to do my altitude prep).

I'm thinking of doing a little day hike in the next couple of weeks up to LBSL. Just want to keep it fresh and explore new things.

Went for my first post whitney hike today....body feels good. Only remaining discomfort is chapped lips.... I think I can deal with that. laugh
