If I understand correctly, Bri and Barb are joining us.
That's the general plan of operations right now. We'll see where they're at come May of next year. I was impressed with their effort this past weekend. I took them to a trail in the mountains north of the ATL that roughly simulates one-third of the Whitney Main Trail - 4 miles with about 2000 feet of gain, so an 8-mile out-and-back gaining and losing 2K'. They made the summit with me in just a little over 2 hours, and the entire OAB in 5 hours, including close to an hour on the summit for a leisurely lunch. Virtually no whining from the 10 YO diva-wannabe. Gives me hope that she's serious about Whitney next year.
Coupl'a shots from the trek:
Wishing this was the Sierra . . . .
Hmmmmm - maybe the Mountaineer's Route . . .
