Congrats on your first summit!!
It just occurred to me (somewhat retroactively) that your first summit of Whitney was 3 years to the day later than my first summit (9/6/07). Mine was a dayhike, and I ate nothing like you (in fact, I ate not much at all the whole hike). But, like you, I had perfect weather, and it was a hike I will never forget.

If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.
